The Name Game

Added on 4 April 2006 Peter Bogaards
“Tagging offers a potentially powerful way for a company to organize information by making fresh content immediately searchable, letting users designate terms that make sense to them and providing users with a sense of ownership. This ability for tags to provide so much content-describing power for ordinary folks has given rise to the term ‘folksonomy’, as opposed to the more restrictive sounding ‘taxonomy’.” (Michael Fitzgerald – CIO Magazine) – courtesy of keithinstone

Added on 4 April 2006 Peter Bogaards
“This post attempts to rethink EIA and argues that information architecture need not be constrained to designing structures and managing content as it relates to the Web or for any electronic system for that matter. Instead, I argue that an enterprise information architect might also be called, as Thomas Davenport coins it, an ‘Information Ecologist’.” (Rob Fay – Partial Recall) – courtesy of steptwodesign

Chapter samples (and more to come soon) – “The age of ubiquitous computing is here: a computing without computers, where information processing has diffused into everyday life, and virtually disappeared from view. What does this mean to those of us who will be encountering it? How will it transform our lives? And how will we learn to make wise decisions about something so hard to see?” (Adam Greenfield – Studies and Observations) – courtesy of petermorville
