In the old days, (i.e before the personal computer and then the Internet came along) when well trained professionals built proper Information Systems, an Information Architect would develop deliverables that would document all those requirements. You didn't build the system without them. Now-days, with a world full of people who have drifted into IT with no formal education in technology and/or information systems development, systems just get hacked together with no proper analysis and/or architecture basis. Even the term Information Architecture has been hijacked to mainly mean the structure of data on a website. See this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_architecture which seems to have been written by people who created the Information Architecture Institute. And they probably think they are being creative and innovative. It's going to take a while before we return to a world with a proper understanding of information and information architecture. In the mean time we end up with websites like myGov and Centrelink's and the PCEHR. -- Regards brd Bernard Robertson-Dunn Sydney Australia email: [email protected] web: www.drbrd.com web: www.problemsfirst.com Blog: www.problemsfirst.com/blog _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
