[font color="#0033CC">关于《WWW信息体系结构（影印版）》的部分评论[/font>[/a>
[font color="#FF6600">“当Web设计师们都读过本书之后，这世界会变得更好。本书睿智、风趣，并且充满了艺术性，是作者们多年专业知识的结晶。WWW信息体系结构要解决政策性和机构性的难题，包括内容、结构和用户界面。这不仅是设计，而是艺术的更高级表现。本书指明了未来几年内的竞争方向。”Bonnie Nardi，《Information Ecologies：Using Technology with Heart》一书的合著者 [/font>
如今的网站和互联网已经变得比以前越来越大、越来越有价值，而且越来越复杂，同时其用户也变得更忙，也更加不能容忍错误的发生。数目庞大的信息、快速的变化、新兴的技术和公司策略是设计师、信息体系结构构建师和网站管理员必须面对的事情，而这些已经让某些网站看起来像是个快速增长却规划很差的城市--到处都是路，却无法导航。规划精良的信息体系结构当前正是最关键性的。 本书介绍的是如何使用美学和机械学的理念创建与众不同的、有吸引力的网站。关于网站开发方面的大多数书籍都侧重于图形图像方面，或者侧重于网站的技术角度。而本书则把焦点放在包含这两者的网站框架方面。 应用了这本经典书籍中所介绍的原理后，就能够构建出可缩放、可维护、易于导航且具有吸引力的网站。 使用本书中所提供的范例和案例学习，将能够： ·为站点开发出强烈的、具有吸引力的视觉效果，使站点易于使用并且与众不同。 ·按照对用户最有利的方式组织站点的层次结构，减少重新设计的需要。 ·创建不会让用户迷路或厌倦的站点导航系统。 ·精确标记站点内容。 ·按照支持特定项目搜索和模糊搜索的方式来组织站点内容。 ·配置搜索系统，以便用户的查询能够得到有用的结果。 ·管理信息体系结构的开发过程，从形成概念到调查研究，从概念性设计到规划和生产。

前言
Those things that hurt, instruct.
-Ben Franklin
In late 1999, when this book had been out for a year and a half, our editor told us to get cracking on the second edition. The folks at O'Reilly are fully aware that it takes eighteen months for authors to forget the pain of writing, not to mention our vows to never do it again. Suitably forgetful, we agreed. Now it's summer of 2002, and we're just finishing. Why did it take us two and a half years?
Well, a lot happened in that intervening period. Remember, we were all running on Internet time. Investors were throwing money at all things Web. Companies were building web sites at a frenetic pace. "Information architect" suddenly became a hot job title, and demand for information architecture expertise soared.
New people brought fresh perspectives to the field. Information architects began to connect with one another. A host of web sites, discussion lists, professional conferences, local cocktail hours, and other trappings of a healthy new community emerged.
In those heady times, we were actively growing our information architecture consulting company, Argus Associates. When we wrote the first edition, there were five Argonauts, all librarians by training. By late 2000, Argus was a professionally managed firm with a staff of forty. We had built an interdisciplinary information architecture practice, hiring specialists with expertise in usability engineering, thesaurus design, ethnography, information retrieval, and technology evaluation. But we weren't about to slow down. We had ambitious plans, one of which was to write the second edition.
But as many Greek and Roman tragedies forewarn, mortals plan and the gods laugh. In other words, the Web bubble burst, corporate spending took a dive, and it became difficult to justify investments in consulting, especially in new and intangible services like information architecture. Suddenly Argus was out of business. And for many new entrants to the field, getting a job as an information architect became nearly impossible. Things were bad all over.
Life rarely works according to plan, but often there's a silver lining. For us, the demise of Argus granted the time, perspective, and motivation to finally write the second edition. After all, failure can be a better teacher than success. We've had our share of both, and we've tempered our enthusiasm for information architecture with an appreciation for the realities of the marketplace.
We've tried to address these realities in this book by explaining how to make the case for information architecture in unsupportive environments, and how to deal with political and cultural issues while trying to get your work done. We also describe a richer, more mature methodology that draws from many disciplines.
We are tremendously excited by the diversity, creativity, compassion, and resilience of the information architecture community. In the grand scheme of things, we are small in number. But as architects, designers, and teachers in these formative years of cyberspace, we have the opportunity to make a big impact. Let's get cracking!
What's New in the Second Edition
As you can tell by this book's length--more than double that of the first edition--much has changed. In fact, we've almost written an entirely new book.
We've updated the chapters on organization, labeling, navigation, and searching, and illustrated the interconnectedness of these systems in a new chapter on thesauri, controlled vocabularies, and metadata. And we've expanded the methodology chapters to include a more interdisciplinary collection of tools and techniques. We've complemented the top-down strategies of the first edition with bottom-up approaches that enable distributed, emergent solutions.
A whole new section addresses the opportunities and challenges of practicing information architecture, while another section discusses how that work impacts and is influenced by the broader organizational context. New case studies provide models for creating enterprise intranet portals and online communities. Finally, we've referenced a wealth of essential information architecture resources, many of which did not exist a few years ago.
Organization of This Book
This book is divided into six sections and twenty-one chapters, progressing from fundamentals to advanced topics. It breaks down as follows.
Part I, Introducing Information Architecture, provides an overview of information architecture for those new to the field and experienced practitioners alike, and comprises the following chapters:
Chapter 1, Defining Information Architecture
This chapter offers definitions and analogies, shows how information architecture relates to other fields, and explains why it matters at all.
Chapter 2, Practicing Information Architecture
