The explosion of standards building on the 1998 XML specification from the World Wide Web Consortium has been slow to reach academic and library information science applications. While part of this is certainly due to cost, argues that adequate attention to architectural design, when considering XML technology, can make new forms of information management possible. Provides a survey of tools and relevant technology for working in Z39.50 with XML and MARC records, based primarily on a major undertaking by the ATLA‐CERTR (American Theological Library Association – Center for Electronic Resources in Theology and Religion) group at Emory University with 50 years of 50 journals digitized from philosophy, ethics, and religion.

In the essential work, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web by Lou Rosenfeld and Peter Morville (ISBN 1-56592-282-4), the authors state that the primary job of the information architect is to:clarify the mission and vision for the site, balancing the needs of its sponsoring organisation and the needs of its audiencesdetermine what content and functionality the site will containspecify how users will find information in the site by defining its organisation, navigation, labelling, and searching systemsmap out how the site will accommodate change and growth over time.These points rather succinctly describe what an information architect sets out to accomplish for any given site and/or situation. But given these points what should someone ‘do’ to implement improved information architecture (IA) for a site? Where do you start?

Information Anxiety

As origens da expressão 'arquitetura da informação', mostram a contribuição de Wurman (ele mesmo arquiteto), que comprovadamente cunhou a expressão em 1979, como uma afortunada metáfora que desenvolveu posteriormente com uma abrangente visão sistêmica em suas obras Information Anxiety e Information Anxiety 2, publicadas respectivamente em 1989 e 2001, e traduzidas e publicadas no Brasil em 2001 e 2005. Destaca-se, finalmente, a apropriação da expressão 'arquitetura da informação' para aspectos relativos à interface usuário-sistema, nos sistemas de informação computadorizados e na Internet, por outros autores, com destaque para Morville e Rosenfeld, com sua obra de grande sucesso "Information Architecture for the World Wide Web" (3ª ed., 2000), os quais reconhecem que muito tem contribuído para o sucesso de suas idéias a própria experiência anterior no campo da ciência da informação. Cabe esperar que a interação e mútuo enriquecimento dessas diversas abordagens teóricas e práticas continuem e aumentem, provocando mudanças e aprimoramentos nos programas de pós-graduação em ciência da informação.

Resumo Neste trabalho é apresentada uma ontologia para modelar o domínio da Arquitetura da Informação para Web (AI para web), de acordo com os preceitos definidos por Morville e Rosenfeld no livro Information Architecture for the Word Wide Web, versão 2006. Objetiva-se estruturar o conhecimento relacionado ao domínio de AI para Web, formalizando o mesmo, bem como auxiliar o ensino dos conceitos e relacionamentos do domínio da área de AI para Web. A pesquisa realizada é de caráter teórico e qualitativo, e classifica-se como descritiva e exploratória. A modelagem foi realizada mediante a utilização da linguagem Ontology Web Language (OWL) e do framework Protégé 3.4.1, seguindo os passos da metodologia 101. Os resultados mostram a InfoArch, uma ontologia que representa os conceitos e relacionamentos, além de possibilitar responder a questionamentos sobre o domínio. Considera-se que InfoArch traz contribuições principalmente relativas as questões de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, pois servirá como fonte de informação para pesquisadores, professores e equipes de desenvolvimento de sites que trabalhem com Arquitetura da Informação para Web.Palavras-chave Arquitetura da Informação para Web; ontologia; desenvolvimento de site; web semânticaAbstract This paper presents an ontology to model the field of Information Architecture for Web (Web IA), according to the precepts defined by Morville and Rosenfeld in the book Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, version 2006. It aims to structure the related knowledge in the field of IA for the Web, formalizing this area and helping to teach the concepts and relationships in the domain of the IA for the Web. The research is theoretical and qualitative, and is classified as descriptive and exploratory. The modeling was performed using the language of Ontology Web Language (OWL) and the Protégé framework 3.4.1, by following the steps of the methodology 101. The results show the InfoArch, an ontology that represents concepts and relationships, and enables finding answers to questions about the area. It is considered that InfoArch brings contributions especially on issues of teaching, research and extension, and thus will serve as a source of information for researchers, teachers and staff of developing sites that work with Information Architecture for the World Wide Web.Keywords information architecture for the World Wide Web; ontology; site development; semantic web

Louis Rosenfeld is one of the world’s leading and bestknown information architects. If he initially earned his reputation from his best-selling book, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, and his first company, Argus Associates, he has maintained it through his newest venture, Rosenfeld Media (which publishes books on the topic of User Experience design), through his ongoing consulting, and his service to establishing the field of information architecture by helping to found the Information Architecture Institute and the User Experience Network (UXnet). In this interview, he shares his thoughts about the growth and practice of information architecture, the limitations of current publishing models and some of the challenges in assigning terminology in this field.
