Purpose: The main objective of this research is to analyze data and information concerning board games to enhance their description and accessibility on business websites, as well as to create a website dedicated to organizing information about board games.
Methodology: The study collected data from the “Board Game Everyday Cafe” website. The data were categorized using a classification approach, such as abstract strategy, action/dexterity, adventure, and more. This classification process entailed identifying key concepts and attributes within the dataset and assigning appropriate categories based on these concepts. Tools such as phpMyAdmin and MySQL were employed for database management, while coding languages like PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript were utilized for website development, with WordPress being used for designing the main page. Metadata elements were identified according to the schema.org standard.
Findings: The study identified 227 board games from the “Board Game Everyday Cafe” website, categorized into various genres such as abstract strategy, action/dexterity, and adventure. Metadata elements were established based on the schema.org standard to describe each game comprehensively. Website components, including home, collection, detail, and login/insert pages, were outlined for efficient data organization.
Applications of this study: This study's findings can be applied in various areas, including board game businesses, e-commerce platforms, and web development. Board game businesses can utilize the categorized data to enhance their inventory management and customer experience. E-commerce platforms can implement similar classification approaches to organize and present board game listings effectively. Web developers can leverage the outlined website components and metadata elements for designing and developing board game-related websites with improved functionality and user engagement.
