[Sigia-l] IA and medium

[Susan Zeyher]

Hello Christina!

Of course IA is not medium specific!  What about
Melvil Dewey's classification system, or the Library
of Congress classification system, or Dublin Core? 
Those are all architectures for information.  

Gee Wiz, folks!  I'm always repeating to library
people that classification and collocation is not
limited to library land.  Now I'm telling all you
Web-heads that organizing information is NOT limited
to Web land.  

THINK OUTSIDE YOUR OWN BOXES, FOLKS!!

OK, I'm done now.

So, tell me honestly.  What am I missing that makes
Christina's question look so dumb to me?
