Content Creation
Aim:
Simplify the processes of placing content on the web and obtaining
approval to do so
• Use templates to capture the content and to present it
• Use workflow to simplify the upload, approve and publish processes
• Embed Teamsite buttons in standard Microsoft applications if required
Processes
Aim:
Implement approval workflows and enable security such that only
approved persons can publish to sites that are of importance to Monash
Metadata
Aims:
• Implement automated gathering of metadata with the ability of the
authors and editors to correct if necessary
• Appropriately store and manage metadata
• Provide metadata to the search engine
Platforms/Environment
Continue to support a diverse array of existing technology platforms
Consolidate the current technology environment wherever possible
Aims:
• Implement processes that automate the capture of content from a variety of
editing tools and simplify the presentation of that content
• Enable the embedding of sophisticated content on web pages without requiring
sophisticated web presentation skills from the author
Quality
Aim: Improve the quality of Monash
web sites
• The implementation of standards across presentation,
metadata, governance, and navigation will enhance quality
• Ease of use will remove some of the barriers to quality
• The dimensions of quality in this instance are accuracy,
availability, discoverability, relevance, and timeliness of
information
Quality - Actions
• Accuracy: Enable an approval process to confirm the accuracy of the
information
• Availability: Ensure that the information is published, backed up,
versioned, and restorable through automated Teamsite processes
• Discoverability: Ensure that the information can be located through
effective use of metadata driven searches
• Relevance: Enable a process to ensure relevance through the use of
approval processes
• Timeliness of information: Simplify and automate the publication of
web site information and enable removal of information through the
use of automated “sunset” processes.
Implementation of TeamSite
• Methods of content authoring
– Use of standard content entry templates for
html pages known as data capture templates
– Use of web authoring applications for nontemplated html pages
– Use of Front-Office and TeamSite Briefcase for
non-html pages
Front-Office and TeamSite briefcase
• Front-Office is a TeamSite add-in to
Microsoft Office that enables .doc, .ppt and
.xls to be uploaded to the website directly
from the desktop
• TeamSite Briefcase is a TeamSite add-in to
Window’s Explorer enabling any file type to
uploaded to the website directly from the
desktop
