When I first started designing websites, content and design were embedded within each other. It was very difficult to strip out the design whenever a redesign was required. We then moved onto the concept of including common design elements as a file on every page, but still the design got in the way of true separation. Content management systems then came along and promised us a world free from pain and the ability to truly separate content from design. Whilst this satisfied us for a while, it then became clear, that simply gaining that separation wasnt enough, we needed to know more about the data. Older content management systems held content within a single blob or body field. Whether that data was a date, a title, a place, a person, or just some descriptive text, we couldn't tell. More than this, even though the content was separate from the design, it was still locked to a page of some variety. Attempts to pull it out easily and repurpose the data became difficult.
div
In order to future proof our data, we need to get rid of the idea that a piece of data will end up on a single web page. This notion is outdated and leads to our data becoming stagnant and left to rot in favour of something else that has superseded it. We also need to not only know the individual bits of data, but also meta information about that data. What does the data represent, does it relate to a certain area, who should be interested in it.
div
What that then allows us to do is repurpose data anywhere we want. Whether that is on a web page, Facebook stream or an RSS feed. In part or in full. We really need to make our data as rich as possible, and make it work as hard as possible. Simply putting it in one place is not enough.
div
There are common types of data from across the University.
div
At the moment units across the University all produce these types of content, sometimes it is unique, sometimes its a duplication of content elsewhere. By not only enhancing our data, but also making it easy to share, we can pool and share resources in order to make a bigger impact. It also allows us to start to personalise the site and target specific audiences based on the context the user falls into. That may be their location, it may be their language settings, it may simply be reactive to what they've already searched for. By working to pull together this kind of data, it then becomes simpler to do more complex functionality.

Looking into the future and being able to say with certainty what is going to happen is difficult at best, nigh on impossible at worst. Where the web is concerned its even worse. Technologies that are around now may be obsolete in the future. We may be using things in 2-3 years time that are unlikely to have been invented yet. So can I suggest an alternative? Lets first consider what we don't know, and plan our thinking around that. When we plan for what we don't know, we're much more likely to be able to cope when things change.

Here's what I think we don't know:

Six years ago, Apple launched the iPhone. Mobile phones had been capable of browsing the web in some limited capacity previous to this, but the iPhone blew its competitors out of the water and left the industry playing catchup for years. Mobile browsing of the web is set to overtake desktop browsing by next year and as our mobiles become more and more powerful, our interactions will come from them by default rather than the exception.
