2. Abstract
In the modern environment of Web-hosted content, where users can instantly find and
access vast numbers of works, the competitive value of a journal article, a book, or
a collection is increasingly derived from users’ ability to connect the information
contained within the works themselves with other content that is important to them.
This ability to create instant connections between works that have been heretofore
kept separate or “siloed” – by journal title, content type, or publishing house –
represents a revolution in the way users search for, consume, and pay for
information. This trend has been happening for several years, often to the
commercial disadvantage of publishers: by indexing every page on the Web,
Google has changed the economy of publishing to one that is increasingly based
around the article or the chapter, rather than the journal or the book. Instead of
starting at a journal’s home page, users go directly to articles, bypassing the
publisher’s home page branding and revenue-generating advertising . Google has
effectively become the “hub” connecting all content on the Web. Nearly all of the
major publishing organizations are discovering that in order to protect their brands
and preserve the value of subscription sales, they need to become more active
participants in this process and create new paths that enable users to find additional
value within their content collections.

3. Parsing the abstract
1. Google factor – indexing “everything”
2. Loss of branding
3. Bypasses your landing page
4. Journal or book as digital object
deconstructs to article, chapter, or section
5. Linking out from these smaller digital
objects
6. Find new paths from the article page to
your other resources
7. Silos

6. The Publisher Challenge:
Google is a one stop shop and they index
your content
Information in Silos
Content
Disjointed content
Untapped value within Programs
archives – new products
Points of contact vary
People
Information-rich assets, unconnected from each other,
leave the total organization less than the sum of its parts

7. The Taxonomy Solution
not just to be discovered …..
Subjects: Concepts
Entities: People, Places, Things

8. Fight back!
“Index” your content yourself
Google “indexes” it – for the world
You need to “index” it for your community
Use the language your users use
Set the context for your content
Leverage the access to that content
Maximize the Google “hub”
2011 copyright Access Innovations, Inc.
9. Create a new roadmap
Link the content
Link the people
Link the terms
Link your resources
Take charge of the terminology used
Manage your community

Notas del editor
- Post processing“Labels” content itemBut also classifies authorUse semantics to automatically reference resources- The subject terms assigned to this article can be used to link to resources with similar “labeling”
Thanks to Helen Atkins of AACR for this illustration.The real power of this is that the links can all go in all directions, so we take advantage of having the user’s attention regardless of how they step into our “web”Continuing Medical Education (CME)
