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Performed a ROT (Reduce Redundant, Outdated and Trivial Information)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,

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.
