Things to Consider While Building an OC

• Use the Link Group framework to group ideas
  Create Links to capture major ideas
• When building Links, include a short description explaining what link, its inclusion, and how it should be interpreted
• The relationships between Link Groups and links should be simple to follow
• Add content to illustrate details related to the Link
• Limit the amount of Link Groups and links
• Multiple Links similar in nature should be grouped using… drumroll…Sub-Links!
• Sub-Links provide a high-level summary view that can be drilled into to reveal additional insights
