Organizing Information
Rob Adams writes about Info Design's LATCH:

During the last week of CDF on information design, our instructor, Bob Swineheart, remarked that there were five ways of organizing information items. The mnemonic is "LATCH":

  1. Location
  2. Alphabetical
  3. Time
  4. Category
  5. Hierarchy

I've been thinking it over, and so far I haven't come up with organization scheme that doesn't in some way fit into one of the above. Thoughts?

This is an interesting list.  I'd like to learning more about Swineheart's theory..



Of course from an architecture astronaut point of view I might try to generalize further and say, in a strictly topological sense, they're all about location. ;)
