National periodical shelf rebuilt for multi-title facing
Three Periodical titles shared one CMS with conflicting taxonomies, duplicated workflow states and no shared label for live versus archival facing. Editors hunted; archives stalled; Software Publishers tooling had been layered without category rules.
We separated content into title aisles, shared component shelves and archival depth. Every module earned a label editors and systems could both read. Prepackaged software stayed where it fit; Custom computer programming closed the gaps.
Sort → Label → Place → Face. Workflow states were reduced to honest categories. Digital publishing CMS roles mapped to shelf permissions. Data Processing for ingest was labelled separately from presentation facing.
Editors publish across titles without colliding labels. Archival retrieval respects hierarchy. The category wall remains refillable as new sections launch.
