Overview and Key Concepts

From DocWiki

The SemGov methodology and its structure can be understood as simply responding to the big questions of What?, Why?, How?, and Who? Throughout, important terms and concepts are also defined via a set of supporting Concept Articles.

Structurally, as is reinforced with slight modifications many locations throughout this site, these questions are presented as follows:

In addition, in an entirely different cross-cutting manner, most all substantive material on this site is also categorized by Topic. If the methodology structure above can be seen as a vertical "slice" through the content on this site, these topic categories can be seen as complementary horizontal "slices" organizing material by subject.

By keeping this general organization in mind, you should be better able to follow and place content within its role and context across this site.
