They will be responsible for harmonizing content standards across businesses and building competence in key skill areas. This is critical to how they manage content standards, invest in the right skills to support the development of new digital product models and explain to senior business leaders why it is so important.

Their businesses currently share a small set of core metadata fields which are being applied to all content assets. They are not seeking uniformity in all aspects of content standards across our businesses; instead, they seek to share content assets and relevant standards where it makes sense to do so. The GCMC with the expert advice of the Director of Content Standards will continue to mandate a set of content standards practices and core metadata which businesses will supplement with taxonomies, metadata, markup in line with their product models and industry norms.

These standards need to support content reuse, digital delivery and content interoperability. • Report progress, recommendations and priorities to the GCMC. • Be a focal point of contact for training, best practice and membership of industry standards bodies. • Work with product development teams to support them in defining metadata and taxonomy requirements. • Identify where businesses are lacking the required skills to effectively design and run the required content standards for their product models and businesses. Help the business and production managers to find and recruit the skills to fill these gaps. • Help businesses build taxonomies etc., and provide oversight to their projects to help ensure that a consistent company approach is taken. • Identify similar metadata and/or taxonomy efforts happening in our businesses and recommend best practice towards the most efficient approach. • Select appropriate tools to hold the company’s taxonomies and metadata. • Prioritize the order in which to address metadata standards.
