This book looks at relationships between the organisation of
physical objects in space and the organisation of ideas.
Historical, philosophical, psychological and architectural
knowledge are united to develop an understanding of the
relationship between information and its representation. Despite
its potential to break the mould, digital information has relied on
metaphors from a pre-digital era. In particular, architectural
ideas have pervaded discussions of digital information, from the
urbanisation of cyberspace in science fiction, through to the
adoption of spatial visualisations in the design of graphical user
interfaces. This book tackles: * the historical importance of
physical places to the organisation and expression of knowledge *
the limitations of using the physical organisation of objects as
the basis for systems of categorisation and taxonomy * the
emergence of digital technologies and the 20th century new
conceptual understandings of knowledge and its organisation * the
concept of disconnecting storage of information objects from their
presentation and retrieval * ideas surrounding semantic space' *
the realities of the types of user interface which now dominate
modern computing.
