Complete Beginner's Guide To Information Architecture - Ux Booth | Ux Booth
What an information architect does
An information architect will generally do the following activities as part of a project team: . Research the audience and the Business IAs take on a myriad of responsibilities for the project. To learn about the project’s audiences, IAs should have access to the results of, or…
Rdf Primer
RDF schemas describe rather than prescribe
One benefit of the RDF property-based approach is that it becomes easier to extend the use of property definitions to situations that might not have been anticipated in the original description. At the same time, this is a "benefit" which must be used with care, to insure that…
RDF is for applications, not display
RDF is intended for situations in which this information needs to be processed by applications, rather than being only displayed to people. RDF provides a common framework for expressing this information so it can be exchanged between applications without loss of meaning. RDF…
Applications needn't understand RDF to use it
RDF provides a way to make statements that applications can more easily process. An application cannot actually "understand" such statements, as noted already, any more than a database system "understands" terms like "employee" or "salary" in processing a query like SELECT NAME…
Applications decide what Seq and Alt mean
The graph structure for an rdf:Seq container, and the corresponding RDF/XML, are similar to those for an rdf:Bag (the only difference is in the type, rdf:Seq). Once again, although an rdf:Seq container is intended to describe a sequence, it is up to applications creating and…
Reification and the reification quad
RDF applications sometimes need to describe other RDF statements using RDF, for instance, to record information about when statements were made, who made them, or other similar information (this is sometimes referred to as "provenance" information). [...] RDF provides a…

Alternative impact factors metrics (altmetrics)
Ambra also ties in to a number of other open-source applications. PLOS developed the Article-Level Metrics (ALM) application to display information about the usage and reach of published articles on the articles themselves. PLOS uses the ALM application to aggregate relevant…
The Cidoc Conceptual Reference Module: An Ontological Approach To Semantic Interoperability Of Metadata
Necessity of data structure diversity
Let us regard here data structures for long-term storing of data, as database schemata, but also tagging schemes like SGML/XML DTD, RDF Schema, and data structures designed as fill-in forms guiding users to a complete and consistent documentation [...] These structures are…
Where Are The Semantics In The Semantic Web?
Hardwired semantics versus public semantics
The general case of automatically determining the meaning of Web content is somewhere between intractable and impossible. Thus, a human will always be hardwiring some of the semantics into Web applications. The question is what is hardwired and what is not? The shopping agent…
If it uses rdf then it's sw
Because RDF (Resource Description Framework) [W3C 1999] is hailed by the W3C as a Semantic Web language, some people seem to have the view that if an application uses RDF, then it is a Semantic Web application. This is reminiscent of the “If it is programmed in Lisp or Prolog…
