Sexier, smarter, faster Information architecture with topic Maps
A bit dated now (4 years old) by Alexander Johannesen, but you can’t argue with the title. 😉
I wonder if that is like “faster, better, cheaper,” where you can have any one of those?
So you have to pick for your topic map sexier, smarter or faster?
Or has Alexander found a way to get all three?
You can find out what makes Alexander excited (not that I was curious on that score), as well as the basic concepts of topic maps.
Ignore the comment about slides 107-120, all the slides display.
Ha! No, it’s not “here’s three, select any two”, it’s “get the lot!”
Thanks for bringing this old presentation back again. I think I held it at OzIA 2006 (Aussie Information Architecture conference in Sydney), and it actually is still pretty good, IMNSHO.
The “what makes me excited” part is to point out that all these subjects are from the real world, and not hidden behind some technological nonsense that people in general wouldn’t understand (not unlike the somewhat recent TM mailing-list discussion on what X isa X means. Still unresolved, I think)
Btw, a lot of this presentation I’ve made as a chapter in a book I’m writing (free PDF download thingy), so I’ll let you know when that happens.
