The Three Interdependent Elements of Information Science

My Focus: Designing information to make it flow efficiently, effectively, and extensibly.

My Tools: The Three Interdependent Elements of Information Science--

  • Information Management - understanding information flows, access points, and content usability

  • Systems Analysis - Design Thinking, from a systems perspective

  • Information Architecture - a structure, that uses the design rules of Taxonomies, Metadata, Classification Systems, Thesauri and Indexing Languages, to produce effortless navigation, for the user.
     

Information Management refers to a method for understanding the path that information is following, while it flows through a system or process or platform. I use Information Management and Systems Analysis together, to develop new approaches (solutions), so that the identified gaps are eliminated, and the information flow functions efficiently and effectively.

​

Using an Information Architecture Design method, that is rooted in the rules of classification, indexing and cataloging, I establish a new approach and solution for managing the information, with extensibility in mind.

​

Accordingly, I focus on developing (or re-solutioning) Information Architectures and Human-Centered Information Systems, that are efficient, effective and extensible.
