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
