Narrative

Beatrice is a lead member of the Women in Red group in France. She wants to organize an editathon on the topic of women in the French revolution. Beatrice uses an interface that allows her to fill in all the keywords, names, and citations that relate to this topic, and is presented with a list of topics and subjects that are missing from the content. She uses this list to construct a work list for the event, so she can easily help new editors joining the editathon focus on needed knowledge gaps in subject matters that are missing. The participants use this list as a guide to adding information that relates to the theme of the event and helps cover knowledge gaps.

Enabled by these architecture patterns

Canonical data model: Storing structured content with tags and other metadata can inform machine learning models that can help identify content gaps and collect relevant content to support content creation campaigns.
Loose coupling: When the system is separated into distinct subsystems, it is easier to add, remove and adjust the level of metadata that is added to individual pieces of content, and the analyses that are relevant for specific products.
