Content Findability and Search

Thursday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Findabilty and search have been raised as a hot topic among many Consortium members. Expectations of search capabilities are often based on using Google or Bing. The search experience is much different when the volume of both content and people interacting with it is much smaller. We are convening a two day Program Team Meeting to discuss factors to consider for searching content and the presentation of that content.
The meeting will be very exploratory and interactive. It is preferred to have everyone in person but dial-in will be offered to those who can't travel. The topics will be very fluid and not necessarily covered at an exact time. Participants are asked to share their expertise on a topic and then we will discuss the implications on the KCS methodology.
Preliminary Topics Include: (see detailed agenda)
- Standard definition of search capabilities
- Content included in the search
- Navigation and findability
- Task based UI
- Pre-selection of products
- Results display, relevance and grouping
- Importance and management of meta-data
- Maintenance and tuning
- The "Know Me" factor
- Search effectiveness measures
