Structured Content
Structured Content, as the name implies, is information that is written in reusable blocks or components. Structuring content eliminates the problem of writing and translating the same information over and over again. Without structuring content, organizations have no way to leverage or share information written in one context with another context. This is a critical problem for global organizations that have to use the same information over and over again in different contexts.
Certain types of information lend themselves more readily to structure than others. Product or technical information, information for training, and marketing datasheets are classic examples of content that can be organized in recognizable blocks of information. By contrast, content that is more fluid such as marketing content or brand-oriented content often lends itself less easily to repeatable structures.
