Organizing Information: Collections, Sidebar and NavigationThis section covers the basic 'laws of physics' in Chandler, having to do with 'collections' of items. It attempts to provide a coherent model that answers end-user mental model questions including: What are the discrete units of information in Chandler? How do they relate to one another? What are the different ways in which these units can be grouped? How do these groupings behave? The answers to all of these questions are driven by real-world interviews with users and analysis of their everyday use cases and workflow patterns. The conceptual model or 'Information Architecture' in turn, determines the tangible design for the navigation affordances you see in Chandler (ie. Application Bar, Sidebar, etc). The links on this page are selected from over three years of work. More time and more patience would probably yield a more coherent picture, but barring such a miracl, the material available should give you some sense of where we are today, how we arrived there and where we're headed. Happy reading.Related Journal notes and historical ArchiveMimiYinNotes: For write-ups and notes organized by time.
