The concept of content choreography has recently gotten attention as a mechanism to describe and manage relationships of content, format, page layouts and supporting metadata in order to weave together a user experience tailored to tasks and objectives. 

Content choreography is a way of dealing with information overload and culling through large amounts of data presenting only what is relevant to the user at the time they are engaged in a task.  This requires a content and information architecture that assembles content for a particular profile of user or a particular set of tasks.  It requires consideration of use cases, user scenarios linked to roles and personas combined with content analysis.  The objective of content choreography is to allow rules combined with metadata to anticipate what else a user might want to see or do.  It requires extensive use of taxonomies and metadata along with search enhancement so that related information is surfaced in the user interface at the appropriate time.  In this session we’ll discuss the analysis required for content choreogrphay and walk through the use of metadata in various scenarios related to it.
