[Sigia-l] User experience taxonomy

[David R. Austen]

Hello, Mark:

I face the same challenge so I am happy to see this question come up.

At first glance (it's late) there seems to be no hierarchical
structure implied here.  That would help.

Some time ago I looked at the ASIS Thesaurus for Information
Architect; that might be a good starting point but I am happy to
consider other opinions.

Another tip: building a model with Windows icons that represent
folders within folders is much easier to read than a model crafted
from, e.g. those representations of bookmarks and favorites. My two
cents.


Best regards,

David
