Plans for metadata event for staff with technical and data management backgrounds

IntermediateAdvancedNewSpecial

Find out how the Digital Presence Programme's work around metadata and related concepts to improve the University's websites and digital content.

This work includes the 'Intranet in a Box' project, which aims to provision University institutions or departments with SharePoint sites that will provide common tooling and templating to improve defragmentation across the University.

Data, including managing common data and improving our approach to information architecture, is crucial for this project and other University systems.

This event is hosted by a panel of experts on the Intranet in a Box project. We aim to provide a forum for technical staff to learn about the project's framework for managing domain-level and institution-level data, and how it relates to the greater information architecture of University systems. Katya Samoylova from the Academic and Financial Planning and Analysis team (AFPA, Finance Division) will also provide an overview of their work around data governance.

Topics

• Technical capability for SharePoint data management
• Domain-level changes, including a summary of advice we're providing to content editors
