EuroIA: Pervasive IA for the Sentient City, Andre Resmini & Luca Rosati

Andrea Resmini & Luca Rosati, Independent (IT) gave a talk on the IA of cities based on their recent book Pervasive Information Architecture. Above all, they suggested that we need to consider an information layer in the physical environment.

  2. The presentation is based on Resmini and Rosati's book 'Pervasive Information Architecture'
  3. Pervasive Information Architecture - Designing Cross-Channel User Experiences
    Information is going everywhere, bleeding out of we thought was cyberspace and back into the real world: increasingly, many tasks we perform every day not only constantly require us to move between different media, but actually have us move from the digital to the physical environment and back.

    @resmini #euroia Civilisation as we know is largely a byproduct of cities.

    @resmini #euroia Is it possible to have an IA for a physical space? What is the role and X-channel service design in a city?

    @lucarosati #euroia The problems with some cities is qualitative, we often 'get lost' because of bad UX.

    @lucarosati #euroia Does IA or pervasive IA have anything to do with this?

  12. There are some interesting examples of how we interact with the world, such as Foursquare's map of one week's worth of checkins in NYC.
  13. A Week on Foursquare
    We collected every check-in on location-sharing service Foursquare for a week starting at noon Eastern on Friday, Jan. 21 until noon on Friday Jan. 28. Foursquare, which provided the data, removed all material that could identify an individual user.

    @lucarosati #euroia Resilience is a key trait "the capability of a system to adapt itself to diff. goals and seeking strategies"

  16. Rosati suggests using an information seeking strategy as pioneered by Marcia Bates.

  17. She was Editor-in-Chief (Mary Niles Maack, Associate Editor) of the 7-volume, 5,742-page (print and online) Third Edition of the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Sciences (Taylor & Francis, 2010).[1][2] The encyclopedia addresses ten information disciplines: LIS, archival science, museum studies, knowledge management, informatics, information systems, records management, bibliography, document and genre studies, and social studies of information.

    @lucarosati #euroia Principle of Least Effort [intertia?]. Thus being aware is most common info seeking strategy, searching least (1%)

    @resmini #euroia Tieing in the idea of the living city with human resilience: we should shift from working top down (trad IA) to bottom-up.

    @resmini #euroia Map and wayfinding systems are top-down, desire paths are a bottom up (and common) strategy + result of least effort.

    @resmini #euroia Twitter is a good comparison — a bottom-up, "stupid" tech, that has been adapted over time.

    @resmini #euroia IA is not a silo, it's a layer.
