-- BOXES AND ARROWS -- http://www.boxesandarrows.com/

Two good recent Boxes and Arrows articles:

1) IA Classics: Tools of the Trade in Comic Book Form
"What I need are highly condensed overviews," I
thought, "like those comic books that convert great
literary works into a few illustrated pages. They
condense Moby Dick down to 12 pages and provide a
version of Great Expectations that can be read in 15
minutes."

2) Building a Metadata-Based Website
The online world has been flooded in recent years with
talk of metadata, structured authoring, and cascading
style sheets. The idea of a semantic web is gaining
momentum. At the confluence of these two broad
categories of activity, new models of websites are
emerging.

-- ARGUS CENTER FOR INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE --
http://argus-acia.com/

An oldie-but-goodie from the ACIA:

Software for information architects
"Within the next 5 years, all large web sites and
intranets will leverage software applications from a
wide variety of categories. We will not choose between
automated classification software and a collaborative
filtering engine. We will need both, and more. And,
information architects will play an integral role,
working closely with business managers, content
managers, and software engineers to select, acquire,
integrate, and leverage this sophisticated suite of
applications."
