Presented at IA Summit March 2017 From the IA Summit site: Imagine an information system that can support pathways driven entirely by current context. Pathways that are directed by human actors, determined by the arrangement of data and the relationships between objects, and dynamically created at the moment of interaction. A system that creates meaning through the application of acquired knowledge. An intelligent guide. How might we architect systems that supports this free-roaming? How do we think about transient information architectures and containers for experiences that are only defined in the moment? Considering informations systems and theory, the worlds we create, inhabit and navigate, and a case study looking at commercial application, this session will explore our interactions within those systems, how we manage transience through data and information architectures and how we might effectively design those systems - to create experiences based on the relationship between context and content.

65. @TIMCAYNES
THE SYSTEM SHOULD
CREATE PATHWAYS

69. @TIMCAYNES
OBJECTS ONLY BECOME
MEANINGFUL WHEN THE
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
THEMSELVES AND OTHER
OBJECTS ARE DEFINED

70. @TIMCAYNES
DATA ONLY BECOMES
INFORMATION
WHEN YOU ASK IT TO
ARRANGE ITSELF

71. @TIMCAYNES
THE DEFINITION OF
CONTEXT AND QUERY
IS WHAT GIVES DATA
