It would be very helpful for users to map the presentations onto the framework.
Searchers could see where the action is, groups of presentations could be lumped together to play as a series for people interested in specific dimensions.

We are doing great. there s a lot of interesting stoffe there
but
I am trying to map the content of the presenttions/dpeakers sessions
onto our new framework. I cannot easily position them, and cannot
identify some of the perspectives (user perspective seems to be
missing/ from our presentations?)
I think it would be useful to map the presentations onto the
framework, there is a lot there
but its scattered and unstructured. Btw - are we 'tagging' our
content/entires in the wiki?
do we hae a list of 'tags' available that we can use to reference the
materials, and
does this tag structure reflect the framework?
just doing a bit of diligence on our presentation library..
