“The little IA may

focus solely on

bottom-up tasks

such as the

definition of

metadata fields

and controlled

vocabularies.”

“The big IA may

play the role of an

orchestra conductor

or film director,

conceiving a vision

and moving the

team forward.”

Eric Reiss, Euro IA (2006)

Everything is deeply intertwingled.” Ted Nelson

“When a unique identifier is attached to an object, it becomes possible to collect the metadata about that object into a single information shadow.”

“The unique identifier is the leverage point with which to access and manipulate the whole information shadow in relation to similar shadows.”

While Kuniavsky advises that we view information as one of many design materials (like wood and carbon fiber) from which devices can be made, he also highlights its role as “the core material in creating user experiences.”
