  1. DLI Website

  2. WHY we need to change • Feedback from DLI community indicated that it is time (2012 DLI contacts survey showed that 47% of DLI contacts never use the reports and reference materials on the website) • The DLI Website does not meet Treasury Boards’ standards on Web Accessibility • DISS using Drupal content management system to manage website • DISS will not migrate non compliant web pages • No more module search boxes • Infrastructure Manager, who manages website content, will retire September 2013 • Delay in turn over time to update contents of website

  3. WHAT we did • Researched standards, polices, directives and best practices • User Experience Working Group 2011 • Other federal department • Statistics Canada Archiving Directive • Reviewed feedback / gathered usage metrics • 2012 and 2008 DLI Contacts and Designate survey results • Data Liberation Initiative: Usability Testing Findings and Recommendations, December 2008 • Web metrics reports • Met with internal stakeholders to discuss potential solutions – Archiving strategy

  4. What we did – cont • Performed a ROT (Reduce Redundant, Outdated and Trivial Information) • Reviewed results/outcomes • Assumptions; Constraints; Dependencies; risk assessment • Developed DLI website proposal • Reviewed by internal stakeholders, advisory members, Education Committee, External Advisory Committee Next steps - • Gather feedback from community, regional training sessions

  5. The New Direction • Implement an Archiving Strategy to address the static content (ex: PDFs, such as DLI Update) • Redirect DLI Collection • Remove DLI product pages and link directly to IMDB (Definitions, data sources and methods of Surveys) or Nesstar • Collection accessible via Nesstar, EFT, Mirror site, WDS • Migrate/Update HTML pages (Current content on restricted site)

  6. What’s being archived • Static content on the DLI website is mostly found in the DLI reports, reference and training materials (ex: Annual Report, DLI newsletter) • Archived items to be kept online are for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes • E.g. Last 3 years of DLI Annual Reports; DLI Updates (Newsletter) Example: DLI Contacts can access past Annual Report prior to 2010 on the e-FT. For public, for past Annual Report prior to 2010, please contact the DLI to request a copy, e-mail: dli-idd@statcan.gc.ca.

  7. Legacy – what to remove • Content that is geared to a specific user group (e.g. Statistics Canada Best Practices Document Version 1.3 for DDI (pdf); EAC Meeting minutes; Education Committee Minutes) • Web analytics show low or no page views or visits. • @StatCan article Happy Birthday • Outdated pages • The DLI program is not source for the content • E.g. Exploring Data Liberation (University of Alberta) Information removed could/will be made available to community and interested parties– EFT site and/or Training repository.
