IXD301 Wk7:- Arranging Content Task

A task was given to arrange data (raw text without any meaning) and give it meaning by ordering it and sorting it out. This is a important skill to be able to do as with the industry there may be times that clients provide content and it may be up to you to sort it out in order to figure out how it would be displayed on the webpage.

The raw text given:-

H Hydrogen 1 Diatomic Nonmetal 1 s 1.008 1766 He Helium 2 Noble Gas 18 s 4.002602 1868 Li Lithium 3 Alkali Metal 1 s 6.94 1817 B Boron 5 Metalloid 13 p 10.81 1808 O Oxygen 8 Diatomic Nonmetal 16 p 15.999 1772 Al Aluminium 13 Post-Transition Metal 13 p 26.9815385 1787 Sc Scandium 21 Transition Metal 3 d 44.955908 1871 Se Selenium 34 Polyatomic Nonmetal 16 p 78.971 1817 Cs Caesium 55 Alkali Metal 1 s 132.905452 1860 Ac Actinium 89 Actinide N/A f 227 1902

I then began the process of sorting out the content, I started by finding out what all the different data within the raw text was in reference to. Once I had that figured out I started grouping elements together.

I decided to use Microsoft excel to make a spreadsheet where I could enter all the data from the raw text and begin arranging it into a clear format where all the information can be seen.

I then went further and put the information from the spreadsheet into a table so that it could be easily seen and read by anyone.

 

 

 


I found this task useful as before I was unsure about my skills in relation to organising content and data but I felt that this task helped boost my confidence in my ability.
