Successful content analysis, tracking and reuse are critical to single sourcing and content management. This presentation discusses the process of analyzing content on conceptual, relational and structural levels. We also focus on ways to track the results of an analysis for use in FrameMaker single sourcing and in a content management system. We also identify some basic questions to ask during a content analysis and show a resulting content matrix with vertical and horizontal content patterns that support reuse and provide to structure.
