White Paper Information Architecture Glossary
Information Architecture Glossary By Kat Hagedorn, Argus Associates March 2000 This glossary is intended to foster development of a shared vocabulary within the new and rapidly evolving field of information architecture.

Por no tener otra manera de percibir su mundo, esas sombras serían, para ellos, . urante toda la historia del arte occidental, los artistas, los espectadores, los comitentes, los críticos, se han debatido en torno a la cuestión de si el arte debe ser mimesis, es decir, tratar de imitar a la naturaleza o, en cambio, debe buscar la forma más "eficaz" para la función para la que está destinado.Life With Alacrity: Tracing the Evolution of Social Software
The term 'social software', which is now used to define software that supports group interaction, has only become relatively popular within the last two or more years. However, the core ideas of social software itself enjoy a much longer history, running back to Vannevar Bush's ideas about 'memex' in 1945, and traveling through terms such as Augmentation, Groupware, and CSCW in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. By examining the many terms used to describe today's 'social software' we can also explore the origins of social software itself, and see how there exists a very real life cycle concerning the use of technical terminology. 1940s — Memex The earliest reference that I can find to people using computers to collaborate with one another is from the 1940s.

THE R -word index, which we began tracking for the American economy early this year, has started flashing red. Using a computer database, we count for each quarter how many stories that appear in the New York Times and the Washington Post include the word “recession”. This “ R- count” increased sharply in the first quarter of this year, to around 650 articles, three times its level in the middle of last year. Over the past two decades, the R -word index has been pretty good at spotting economic turning-points.
