multiple categories, multiple approaches
digital information often belongs in more than one category
this is difficult to represent visually
it’s hard to get a sense of “where” information is
what can we do about this?
we could try to make an exhaustive hierarchy
-this is hard and still doesn’t convey multiple locations very well
we could tag everything and see what structure emerges
-promising but labor intensive and still potentially overwhelming
we could focus on important kinds of relationships and design around those
-promising but suggests that different angles are useful in different contexts
we could identify several key angles and group around those
-promising but doesn’t give a sense of place
we could think of place as a cluster of tags
