The #CEO and #CFO need to care about content, not as a marketing P&L spend, but as a durable intellectual property asset that provides significant competitive advantage in an increasingly intelligent world, where content is a broker of relationships & customer experiences.

what the graph implies will always exceed what the graph asserts

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

Intent enters through prose. Structure enters through shapes. The two must meet explicitly for coherence.

The deeper I go into ontology, the more respect I have for the Greeks

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

Intelligence doesn't live where data is stored — it emerges from the structured meaning encoded in data relationships between systems. The implicit and explicit schemas organizations have spent decades building are its foundation.

Time to get Schema Aware

One living semantic model. Every agent, tool, frontend auto-compliant. hallucination-free by design.

Alaa and I are showing the exact patterns at Connected Data London in 9 days.

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

All in on symbolic AI. This will be fun.

Sometimes I don't even know how we get so lucky... Coming up on 12/13, we've got @storyneedle and @mrcruce joining us to talk about structured content in content design. Pinch me! More info and RSVP at https://t.co/d3BAdZTRMm

@juansequeda Architecture of the invisible *feels* abstract.

When we architect a house, or an engineer an electrical or plumbing system, the schematics have obvious real world implications to everyone.

Schema architecture is no less critical for data & content, but yet get lost in TLDR.

@eaton 😂

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

Props to the resilient content change leaders carrying forward ambitious programs in the face of legacy content debt & old thinking.

As a friend told me yesterday, "We’re clinging to a structured content raft in a sea of strings."

and yet still progress continues! Keep rowing.

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

@arh Rest in peace, Doug. A professional with a huge heart and genuine passion. He leaves with the admiration of an industry.

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

Dizzying to consider how much chunky inaccessible content & data exists in a healthcare system where data facets and portability have such importance to humans.

Faxes, print & mail forms, arduous manual intakes, PDFs, and patient information overload still rule in 2022.

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

@storyneedle Perhaps because a large number of medical providers and payers still only transact information via fax or mail?

As the volume of medical incidents increases, the need to figure out how to work with faxes to file claims and get medical records also rises.

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

Yes! Patterns are incredibly valuable IP. So much embedded thinking baked into reusable components used by teams to build the future.

Invest in patterns and rally the organization around them.

[Michael Andrews @storyneedle]

Content models and design systems are both repositories for collective UX knowledge in the enterprise.

Concrete, discrete decisions are considered and evaluated in detail, decided, then added to the stock of knowledge that teams can reuse.

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

@storyneedle Wow this is really interesting @storyneedle , it looks like medieval scholars were the first to maintain explicit personal knowledge graphs!

@content_is_all Twilight Zone!

It’s true though – there are plenty of folks managing tagging systems, controlled vocabularies, and hierarchical lists that don’t necessarily relate what they’re doing to taxonomy.

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

😂 Can we please be over this in 2022?

Taxonomy needs to be taught from third grade forward. It’s just a step or two from sorting shapes. The enterprise can figure this out!

[courtney @courtneyreyers]

"Do we have a taxonomy?"
"What's that?"
Here we go again 🚀

[Cruce Saunders @mrcruce]

@AlanMorrison Especially today, navigating reality requires more & more abstraction.

I'd submit that curriculum designers should get intentional about introducing taxonomic concepts much earlier.

Some intentionally introduce abstraction from kindergarten:
