I was lucky enough to open up the ‘IA Theory and Practice’ stream of the IA Summit this year with a presentation on an enterprise taxonomy project I did for FIFA recently in Zurich. This was my third time speaking at the conference, and as always I came away inspired and with more and more […]
On February 21st, 2015 I had the distinct pleasure of doing a case study for World Information Architecture Day in Zurich. The talk I did was an overview of a large taxonomy project I recently completed for FIFA, the world’s football governance authority, and looks at a few of the exercises, analysis and standards I used […]
Through my love of information architecture and making the world easier to understand with metadata, taxonomy and classification I caught the eye of the masterminds behind the Digital Asset Management (DAM) Guru program, and was asked to answer a few questions for them.

I am very proud to have been invited to speak at World Information Architecture Day (WIAD) in Zurich this coming February 21, 2015.

The quality of the papers presented was very good, and I think everyone who attended took away something new and useful. Here’s a few of the interesting things that I […]
I was lucky enough to be a presenter at EuroIA in Edinburgh, Scotland this past weekend. The entire conference was a good one, with a very broad range of topics covered ranging from natural interfaces to facilitating co-creation workshops to, of course, metadata. My talk was called “Metadata in Cross-Channel Ecosystems” and explores the role […]
At a project kick-off for an enterprise information architecture project we started this summer for the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) we used a useful technique to determine enterprise priorities for classification and taxonomy projects. I call the exercise “Metadata Dot-Mocracy.”
This April I had the pleasure of speaking at the annual Information Architecture Summit in Baltimore, Washington. My talk was called ‘Metadata in the Cross-Channel Ecosystem’, and these are the slides.
