How public-appsdesignlab and informationarchitecture Community Groups of the W3C Meet: Reading J.N. Robbins'"Learning Web Design..." (O'Reilly, 2018

Dear publicappsdesignlab &
public-informationarchitecture




"Architecture": art and science of building (Oxford English Dictionary
(Green-Yellow Edition)): The Website is architectural: designing the Web
which is architectural:

These are how public-appsdesignlab and informationarchitecture Community
Groups of the W3C meet according to J.N. Robbins'"Learning Web Design..."
(O'Reilly, 2018)

"IT TAKES A VILLAGE
(WEBSITE CREATION ROLES)
When I look at a site, I see the multitude of decisions and areas of
expertise
that went into building it...".
p.4

More about the Web there is a linkage between Information Architecture and
Design:

"...  the various disciplines that contribute
to the creation of a site, including roles related to content, design, and
code....

*) Content Wrangling
Anyone who uses the title “web designer” needs to be aware that everything
we do supports the process of getting the content, message, or functionality
to our users.

... two content-related specialists in modern web development: the
Information Architect (IA) and the Content Strategist.

1) Information architecture
An Information Architect (also called an Information Designer) organizes
the content logically and for ease of findability. They may be responsible
for search functionality, site diagrams, and how the content and data are
organized on the server. Information architecture is inevitably entwined
with
UX and UI design (defined shortly) as well as content management. If you
like organizing or are gaga for taxonomies, information architecture may be
the job for you. The definitive text for this field as it relates to the
web is
Information Architecture: For the Web and Beyond, by Louis Rosenfeld and
Peter Morville (O’Reilly).

2) Content strategy
A Content Strategist makes sure that every bit of text on a site, from long
explanatory
text down to the labels on buttons, supports the brand identity and mar-
keting goals of the organization. Content strategy may also extend to data
modeling and content management on a large and ongoing scale, such as
planning for content reuse and update schedules. Their responsibilities may
also include how the organization’s voice is represented on social media. A
good place to learn more is the book Content Strategy for the Web, 2nd
Edition,
by Kristina Halvorson and Melissa Rich (New Riders).
...

**) All Manner of Design
Ah, design! It sounds fairly straightforward, but even this simple
requirement
has been divided into a number of specializations when it comes to creating
sites.

- User Experience, Interaction, and User Interface design
... (User research and testing reports, Wireframe diagrams, Site diagram,
Storyboards and user flow charts) ...
- Visual (graphic) design


***) Code Slinging
- Frontend development (Authoring/markup (HTML), Styling (CSS), JavaScript
and DOM scripting)
- Backend development

****) Other Roles
- Product manager
- Project manager
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization) specialist
- Multimedia producers

p.4-13 (J.N.Robbins, "Learning Web Design"...)

It reminds me on T. Berners-Lee's "Design Issues: Architectural and
Philosophical Points"

"Architectural and philosophical points
These statements of architectural principle explain the thinking behind the
specifications. These are personal notes by Tim Berners-Lee: they are not
endorsed by W3C. They are aimed at the technical community, to explain
reasons, provide a framework to provide consistency for for future
developments, and avoid repetition of discussions once resolved".

and on "Caught in a Web (Awake)" · Dream Theater (1994)

There are at least --as I could not catch the words clearly

"Caught in a web, looked from the (world!?). Hanging out by threads ..."

A musical composition is also architectural: "architecture" is about
"framing":

"The situation of music seems no different and perhaps em-
bodies the frame even more powerfully. Yet it is said that
sound has no frame. But compounds of sensation, sonorous
blocs, equally possess sections or framing fonns each of
which must join together to secure a certain closing-off...".
