Overview

This repository is no longer under active development. This is the Proof of Concept version of UX Methods, retained here for reference. UX Methods is a collaborative, lightweight Jamstack knowledge graph built with Jekyll and powered by a purpose-built UX Methods Ontology via the Jekyll-RDF plugin. Its goal is to document and interconnect the practices and techniques of user experience design and provide a use case to explore the uses and limitations of “boutique” knowledge graphs. It is built with open-source tools and technologies, designed to evolve and scale over time.
