520			_a"Knowledge Architectures reviews traditional approaches to managing information and explains why they need to adapt to support twenty-first century information management and discovery. Exploring the rapidly changing environment in which information is being managed and accessed, the book considers how to use knowledge architectures, the basic structures and designs that underlie all of the parts of an effective information system, to best advantage. Drawing on forty years of work with a variety of organizations, Bedford explains that failure to understand the structure behind any given system can be the difference between an effective solution, and a significant and costly failure. Demonstrating that the information user environment has shifted significantly in the past twenty years, the book explains that end users now expect designs and behaviours that are much closer to the way they think, work and act. Acknowledging how important it is that those responsible for developing an information or knowledge management system understand knowledge structures, the book goes beyond a traditional library science perspective and uses case studies to help translate the abstract and theoretical to the practical and concrete. Explaining the structures in a simple and intuitive way and providing examples that clearly illustrate the challenges faced by a range of different organizations, Knowledge Architectures is essential reading for those studying and working in library and information science, data science, systems development, database design and search system architecture and engineering"--
