Course Description:

'' Information Architecture (IA) has established itself in recent years as a portfolio of practices combining aspects of web design, usability, metadata management and information science with a view to creating information systems which people find both useful and usable. Yet, IA conventionally addresses only one component of organizational competence - explicit knowledge (information). Although information must be managed effectively, in the knowledge economy this is not sufficient on its own, leaving out of account as it does, that other vital component of organizational competence tacit knowledge.

IA however, is evolving in some quarters into Knowledge Architecture (KA), a compound discipline addressing all the sources of organizational competence - explicit and tacit - within a single, holistic framework. In order to add the missing tacit dimension, an additional set of tools and techniques needs to be included in the Knowledge Architect’s toolkit.
This interactive workshop blends presentation, discussion and practical exercises to consider the evolutionary stages involved in the transition from IA to KA and to examine the most important tools and techniques involved. It presents a number of case studies and invites delegates to discuss the implications for information professionals, information managers, information architects, knowledge managers and knowledge workers alike. Topics include:
The evolution of Information Architecture
Content Scatter & Integration
Case Study 1: The World Bank
Metadata & interoperability
Ontologies: the organizational context
Vocabulary control: Taxonomies & Thesauri
Case Study 2: A European Bank
Knowledge Architecture: Communities & social networks
Knowledge Architecture: Competence Management
Case Study 3: An engineering organization

information professionals
