This take on information architecture (t d f) as a mere observing, describing than a prescribing discipline makes me feel good. If we are able to divide the labor of making sense between writer (t d f) and reader (t d f) than there is no difference in the end. We will have conversations (t d f) then.

Conversations that build landscapes. IA that observes and gardens the process.

I did already some research on tagging (t d f) (not so much on folksonomy (t d f)) and have now 1 and a half year of experience with using a tagging platform behind firewalls. My conclusion for the time being: it is a new, innovative technique and procedure that needs to mature and be deployed carefully.

Oh, well! Helge brought that to my attention recently - while chatting on Gizmo. So I command now: if you are around here in Vienna go there and meet me and all the others.
