Intro and Training Offer

There is so little traffic on here, I frequently forget that I had  
signed up months ago.

That said, it doesn't help that I never introduced myself!

I'll start with my organization - As you may be aware, Delphi Group  
has been involved in the Content/Information Management space from a  
consulting, event, and research/advisory standpoint for roughly 16  
years.

As all of this has been adopted, there have been many stumbling  
points in implementation - information remains lost, even once in a  
central location, and even with a central repository, anywhere from  
20-80% of enterprise content is still not within the repository, and  
remains unfindable.

We've been running an event called Delphi's Proving Ground for  
Information Architecture & Taxonomy for nearly 5 years now, and have  
had hundreds of attendees representing organizations across a wide  
variety of industries, from aerospace to pharmaceuticals, financial  
services to gas, power, energy, and more.

If your organization is experiencing pains with findability and in  
connecting your unstructured information systems together as a  
working WHOLE solution, this very project-focused (you MUST bring a  
project related to Information Architecture or Taxonomy), team- 
oriented (teams of 2-12 are quite common, although single attendees  
are welcome) event is specifically built to help break your project  
out of a stuck mode or get your freshly launched project positioned  
for successful implementation.

Re: Intro and Training Offer

Hi

If you have designed any faceted classification
scheme, could you please give a link to the schedules
so that I can have a look at it?

Thanks

Check out the first fully faceted public OPAC at NCSU

Hello,

I haven't seen anyone post a link to the new OPAC at NCSU and 
thought it might be of interest to everyone as it is a rich example 
of the use of facets. 

To get an idea on how well received it is....one student recently 
commented that "The new system is incredible. It would be difficult 
to exaggerate how much better it is than our old online card catalog 
(and therefore that of most other universities). I've found myself 
searching the catalog just for fun, whereas before it was a chore to 
find what I needed."

Link to the new OPAC search:
http://www2.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/?
view=full&Ntt=ranganathan&Ntk=Keyword&N=206305&Nty=1

Guide to the faceted interface:

A few of the blog entries:

If I can be of any help sharing our experiences helping NCSU let me 
know.

Re: Intro and Training Offer

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by the schedules. The next session is march 7-9 in Florida. Info is at
delphigroup.com/pg - including what the agenda looks like.

Just to be clear however, this is not a dedicated session on facets, but IA as a whole.

If that is not what you were asking for - I would be happy to discuss more in depth on the phone.

Cheers,
Dan

Human-buttons


This campaign is about Human beings, Democracy, UNHCR, Refugees, The Iraqis, Islam, Kurds, Human rights,
Respect, Money, Donations, Angelina Jolie, Pavarotti, Giorgio Armani, Donors, Peace, History,
Campaigns and about you if you care about these words.

Hi there,

I am SAM, an Iraqi refugee living in Lebanon at the moment; I have spent the last 10 years of my life as a refugee
registered with the UNHCR in Beirut. The last 4 years, I have spent as an activist for peace and human rights
(especially refugees and asylum seekers) on the Internet; I'm also books author and ebooks publisher. I
have launched many campaigns to improve our situation as refugees in Lebanon and hopefully bring more
understanding to our problems worldwide. I helped make many changes and improvements at the UNHCR office
in Beirut; I used the Internet as the field for my activities (you can read more about that in my free ebook
'MY CAMPAIGNS'). All my ebooks are free and could be download from my sites.

This is my newest campaign, it's about the illegal and humiliating actions of the UNHCR, who using photos of
refugees as banners and human-buttons to collect money. This is an abuse of the dignity and humanity of the
refugees and must stop immediately and a clear public apology present by The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees. My friends, I am talking about the pictures you can see here:

Where you can read the rest of this message as web page.

Also you can read my new campaign 'Urgent, we need smile' here:
http://unhcrlebanon.250free.com/smile.html

 
For more info about UNHCR and life of refugees you can read my free ebooks. I invite you as fellow humans and
members of the world community to support my campaign by reading my article on my site and see the
human-buttons. The campaign is to support and improve the UNHCR http://www.unhcr.ch especially after
