[IxDA Discuss] Books on IxDA and RIAs?

[Mark Schraad]

Hi Alan,

The first observation that I have is more in process than in  
designing. The web is becoming much more about activity, task and  
goals than about place. The standard wayfinding methods that were  
used in the initial days if IA are no longer enough. In fact a simple  
site diagram is not enough to accurately scope the complexity of a  
"2.0" site. We now work with dynamic containers that can, not only  
support a wide variety of data, but change interactions and  
functionality. This is much more than a simple template/data  
relationship. So, our sites and site map diagrams appear to have  
become simpler, but require some additional means of communicating  
the complexity - often a verbal presentation, but in some cases use  
case patterns with modal diagrams.
