“Enterprise Information Architecture”
A Web site's information architecture determines how the information in that site — its Web pages, documents, lists, and data — is organized and presented to the site's users. Information architecture is often recorded as a hierarchical list of site content, search keywords, data types, and other concepts. Analyzing the information to be presented in an Internet or intranet Web site is an important part of an overall governance plan, and an important early step in the site planning process. This step provides the basis for planning site structure, how data are displayed in a subsite, navigation, audience targeting and search configuration.
The Southern California SharePoint User Group is created as a free resource for the purpose of exchanging ideas and information related to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and related technologies. Our meetings cover topics on Microsoft Office in general, and SharePoint in particular, that are of interest to Application Developers, Business Information Workers and System Engineers.
In short, we encompass all aspects of Microsoft Office Server 2007. The group is run exclusively by volunteers. Our meetings are designed specifically to provide information that is of practical benefit to developers of any level of knowledge, from novice to expert. Each meeting is normally structured with two presentations for a greater variety of information. We also attempt to help with specific problems and questions outside of the main presentations in a one-on-one meeting with a knowledgeable volunteer.
Meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month starting at 6:30 pm, and ending at 9:00 pm.
PLEASE PLAN TO ARRIVE BEFORE 7:00 PM!!! NO ONE will be allowed in after 7:00 PM!!!
