[Sigia-l] Evaluating the labeling systems used by web sites (part II)

[Carlos Vílchez Román]

According to Rosenfeld & Morville (2002):

"Labeling is a form of representation (...) we use labels to represent 
large chunks of information in our web sites. For example, 'Contact us'
is a chunk of information, often including a contact name, an address,
and telephone, fax, and e-mail information."

I mean labels as elements of the navigation systems (e.g. each item 
located in the left side bar).
