Healthwise, Inc.• Nonprofit established 1975• Mission: Help people make better health decisions• Produces evidence-based consumer health information• Web-based health topics• Patient instruction handouts• Symptom checker• Decision aids• Shared decision making campaigns

Who I Am• Content Technical Manager• Former content developer• Conduct training• Work with engineering to:• Develop and implement new tools• Establish best practices• Troubleshoot problems• Improve process efficiency

The Challenge
Convert ~40,000 “pages” of digital consumer health information to
structured content
![Page 5: Unstructured to Structured Content - World IA Day · Unstructured to Structured Content A Two-Pronged Approach Maria G. Essig Healthwise, Inc. Healthwise, Inc. •Nonprofit established](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042305/5ed1130fbd045a168873493e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Conversion• Large documents → Small, focused chunks of content• Repeated language → Language reuse across products• Multiple voices → Consistent voice across products• Relatively “loose” formats → “Tighter” format options• Some metadata → Additional metadata• Well-defined roles → Overlapping roles

The Tool• DITA – Darwin Information-Typing Architecture• XML standard• Allows specialization of topic type and tagging elements • Allows constraints on tagging element choices• Facilitates multiple reuse mechanisms• Accommodates accessibility
![Page 7: Unstructured to Structured Content - World IA Day · Unstructured to Structured Content A Two-Pronged Approach Maria G. Essig Healthwise, Inc.

Metadata
Specialized topic type
Specialized element – allows constraining
Specialized elements – provide semantic meaning
Constraints
![Page 8: Unstructured to Structured Content - World IA Day · Unstructured to Structured Content A Two-Pronged Approach Maria G. Essig Healthwise, Inc. Healthwise, Inc. •Nonprofit established](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042305/5ed1130fbd045a168873493e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The ApproachPath A: Curated content Path B: “Bursted” content
Small focused chunks of consumer
health information (DITA topics)
![Page 9: Unstructured to Structured Content - World IA Day · Unstructured to Structured Content A Two-Pronged Approach Maria G. Essig Healthwise, Inc. Healthwise, Inc. •Nonprofit established](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042305/5ed1130fbd045a168873493e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Path A: Curated Content• Find best content• Manually convert into XML standard markup (DITA) • Identify reuse opportunities• Manually enter metadata • Follow guidelines established by Editorial Guidelines
Group (EGG) and the technical team• Provide feedback about what works and what doesn’t

Curated Content ExampleSelected essential “aspects” of a condition
What causes heart failure?
What can you do at home?
Pulled content from many documentsHeart Failure
Heart failure: Exercise

Curated Content
Documents to DITA topics
![Page 13: Unstructured to Structured Content - World IA Day · Unstructured to Structured Content A Two-Pronged Approach Maria G. Essig Healthwise, Inc. Healthwise, Inc. •Nonprofit established](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042305/5ed1130fbd045a168873493e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Path B: Bursted Content• Selected existing documents with rigid outlines• One document section = One DITA topic• Metadata applied programmatically
• Some metadata (medical reviewer names) obtained from the document and applied to all topics from that document
• Some metadata applied to individual sections (= topics)
• Some prep work and cleanup required

path, although it may not be seen
