RE: Digest Number 99

Hi all,

I'm Alex Wright, an IA/UX consultant in San Francisco, currently working
under contract with Yahoo!  I have an M.S. in library science, and
worked as an academic librarian for 6 years before switching gears to
doing Web work back in 1995.

Although I've worked on a couple of basic facet mapping exercises for
past clients, I consider myself mostly a beginner with this topic.  I'm
looking forward to following the discussion, and hopefully to
contributing at some point down the line.

regards,
alex

Subject: New year introductions


Since our last round of introductions, quite a lot of interesting people
have joined the group (I know, I have to approve them all).

If you are new, please take a moment to write a short introduction to
yourself: who you are, where to find out more, why you're interested in
an obscure topic like faceted classification.

And welcome to all the new people! Who goes first?

Cheers,
Peter

Hello,

here is Jürgen Schiel from Stuttgart, Germany student in the field of
informationdesign. At that time I am on an internship at Fraunhofer
Institute for research. I am interested in faceted classification in
conjunction with my research.

I wish all on this list a Happy New Year!

regards Jürgen Schiel

I'm Matt Mower, I work at Evectors software (http://www.evectors.com/) 
where we are developing new tools and methodologies for collecting, 
organising, and making sense of knowledge.  When I find the time I also 
write a weblog http://matt.blogs.it/

A little over a year ago I wrote a personal topic mapping tool for 
weblogs called liveTopics which was able to export XFML maps of weblog 
posts (among other things).  More recently I am a co-developer of 
K-Collector which is an enterprise knowledge organisation tool.

K-Collector uses faceted topic maps as a central part of the sense 
making framework.  I use the term 'faceted' in the XFML sense of 
"mutually exclusive containers that contain hierarchies of topics."

We have a public portal available at http://w4.evectors.it/

Regards,

Matt
