[Sigia-l] Disposable navigation systems

[dbedford at worldbank.org]

Natasja,

I like the way you've described this approach.   The idea has been around for a
while - the underlying technologies, though, have not been available to support
it.   The new metadata repository tools will turn the idea into a practice.
'Disposable navigation systems' - or perhaps 'configurable navigation systems'
could be defined for frontier search options -- a subset of a whole enterprise
search system.

Best regards,
Denise Bedford

Currently I am working on an article on 'disposable navigation systems'
which I define as navigation systems that are based on existing metadata and
that can be disposed of without information getting lost in cyber space.
This means that these navigation systems are alway superfluous.
Some information needs are totally unpredictable and need a tailormade
navigation structure, e.g. in research institutes or product development.
The most elementary example is the result of a search engine, but from the
view of a navigation structure this list is rather rudimentary and in for
much improvement.

Could I use this combined intellect to find some more existing examples of
disposable navigation systems?

Thanks!

Natasja Paulssen
