\nThis advanced information architecture seminar co

\n* Use 
 metadata and contextual navigation to help users move from one content-rich
  page to another, regardless of which business unit manages that content.
\
 n* Design search interfaces for improved access to content stored in organi
 zational "silos".
\n* Better implement an enterprise-wide information archi
 tecture through appropriate research and design methods and improved govern
 ance.
