The amount of content that exists today is staggering, and growing exponentially. The need to organize and structure it has never been greater. But with silos strong within organizations and stronger across them, how do we align people to set priorities? A website is too downstream and political to solve IA and content problems. But a subject domain model is one way to gain a clearer picture of the universe outside of any interface.
A domain model is a representation of the concepts within a subject area, while a content model represents the content and their structure and relationships.

- 19. WORLD IA DAY 2017 Isn’t this a content model?
- 20. WORLD IA DAY 2017WORLD IA DAY 2017 | #WIAD17 #WIADDC | @carriehd CONTENT IS EXPRESSION DOMAIN IS CONTEXT WORLD IA DAY 2017 | #WIAD17 #WIADDC | @carriehd
- 21. WORLD IA DAY 2017WORLD IA DAY 2017 | #WIAD17 #WIADDC | @carriehd Content Model • Follows from the domain model • Concerned with the content offered to users • Describes the required properties of each concept Domain models capture overall meaning. Content models add specific structure. WORLD IA DAY 2017 | #WIAD17 #WIADDC | @carriehd
