[Sigia-l] Single page, multiple nav paths

[Donna Maurer]

Hi everyone

I'm looking for examples of websites that store documents once and 
make them available via a variety of navigation structures.

I don't want sites that a limited set of document types (eg news 
sites, e-commerce catalogue sites, knowledgebases). I'm looking for 
sites that have a lot of variety in their content (this is really key 
- it is easy to do if you have consistent, structured content). They 
may have a varied audience (thus the variety of navigation 
structures).

I'm asking because I'm redesigning an Intranet, and it has been 
suggested that we treat the content in this way. I initially thought 
it would work easily because I thought there were only a few types of 
documents that could be delivered as a list (meeting minutes, news 
articles, newsletters, etc). Now I have found that the information is 
amazingly varied, and don't think the list approach will work. I 
really can't think of a site with a variety of information types that 
has done this well.

As always, thanks in advance
