Intertwining Theory and PracticeInformation Architect Programme
MethodologySet of concepts, theories and methods adapted from contemporary Information Science
Basical professional ideasIA focus: to facilitate usefulness of digital information and communication milieus for people in different situationsIA-design/re-design: often a continuous process to combine pieces of existing information
Basic educational ideasSpecialized curriculum planned together with potential employers Students work with projects addressing IA-issues related to real-life context in partner organizationContinuous feedback from partners on the content of the program

Goals and Challenges
Building on a strong tradition in linguistics + communication
A faceted approach to IA
Cross-cultural and multidisciplinary
Cross-contextual: from digital to physical and viceversa
faceted (as ias like cheese)

Chapter III
Where a Disconcerting Thread Comes to Light
“Dress formally, roll up the sleeves and perform”“Do not wash your hands”
“We face a new danger for the country's morals and for public safety”
(Monsieur Malgaigne, Hopital Saint Louis)
Gaspare Traversi, Die Operation. Staatsgalerie Stuttgart
Surgery. Was an Art, not a Science.
“This is the end of the art of surgery.”
(Monsieur Mailgagne again)
Monsieur Mailgagne was talking about anesthesia and the first antiseptics
Art. Science. Discipline. Hmm.
Lady Scarlet, aka Dorte Madsen, Copenhagen Business School (DK)
Defining a DisciplineInformation Management Programme
We ascribe identity to disciplines based on the problems that their members seek to solve.
To the extent these problems are not pursued elsewhere in other discliplines, the discipline's self-identity is likely to be strong. Similarly, to the extent these problems simply mirror problems studied in other disciplines, the discipline's self-identity is weakened.
R. Weber, 2003
what constitutes a discipline
basic concepts
modes of inquiry
what counts as a problem
representation techniques
standards of proof
types of explanation
building a body of knowledge
assumptions and worldviews
leading theories
leading thinkers
leading practitioners
seminal texts and books
leading academic journals
official professional and academic associations
division of labor
Professional community of
practice
Academic community of
practice
Chapter IV
Where in the Pursue of Truth We Ask Some Tricky Questions and Get Troublesome Answers
“What is the Understanding of Information Architecture on
Which These Higher IA Education Programmes are Established?”
Does the IA Community at Large Really Need a Scientific Discipline?
How to Ensure that the Rapid Development in the Professional Field is Reflected in Education?
And How Do you Intend to Have Research Fuel the Profession?
