“consistency in data”

Risk Management

The process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats that could impact the success of a digital product, including usability issues, technical failures, and user data security. Essential for maintaining product reliability, user satisfaction, and data protection, while minimizing the impact of potential design and development challenges.

SKOS

Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is a standard for representing knowledge organization systems such as thesauri, classification schemes, and taxonomies. Essential for enabling interoperability and sharing of structured knowledge across different systems.

Content Strategy

The planning, development, and management of content to meet business and user needs, ensuring consistency and effectiveness across all channels. Essential for creating cohesive and impactful content that aligns with business goals and user needs.

Constancy

The perception of objects as unchanging despite changes in sensory input, such as changes in lighting, distance, or angle. Important for understanding user perception and designing stable visual experiences.

Exit Modal

A pop-up dialog that appears when a user attempts to leave a page or application, which can be used to prevent loss of progress or data, or to confirm user intent. While it can be used ethically to prevent data loss or confirm actions, designers must avoid using it to deceive, delay, block, or interfere with the user's intent, thus ensuring it does not become a dark pattern.

Postel’s Law

A principle stating that a system should be liberal in what it accepts and conservative in what it sends, meaning it should handle user input flexibly while providing clear, consistent output, similar to the principle of fault tolerance. Essential for designing robust and user-friendly interfaces that accommodate a wide range of user inputs and behaviors while maintaining reliability and clarity in responses.

Central Limit Theorem

A statistical theory that states that the distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution as the sample size becomes larger, regardless of the population's distribution. Important for making inferences about population parameters and ensuring the validity of statistical tests in digital product design.

i14y

Numeronym for the word "Interoperability" (I + 14 letters + Y), the ability of different systems, devices, or applications to work together and exchange information effectively without compatibility issues. Crucial for ensuring compatibility and integration between systems.

Wall Walk

An activity during a design audit where printed screens representing customer journeys are reviewed collaboratively with stakeholders to assess design quality and identify areas for improvement. Essential for ensuring design consistency, gathering feedback, and making informed decisions on design enhancements.

Ajax

A technique for creating interactive web applications by exchanging data with the server in the background without reloading the entire page. Essential for enhancing user experience by making web applications more dynamic and responsive.

Jakob’s Law

A principle stating that users spend most of their time on other websites and prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know. Crucial for designing user-friendly and familiar interfaces.

Bubble Sort

A simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. Important for understanding basic algorithmic principles and their applications.
