The overarching goal of structuring information via architecture and navigation is to make content easy for users to find.
In 2014, following its own research and having examined findings from external experts and national public sector implementations, Europa Web Communication at DG Communication adopted a task-based approach to the architecture for the European Commission's web presence.
A navigation system helps users find information as easily and as quickly as possible.
The purpose of implementing clear names and labels, together with metadata, is to make information easy to find.
Search engines help users locate relevant content. Content should be effectively tagged, based on a controlled vocabulary, to facilitate search engines indexation.
