Organizational Structures

From both readings, all of the organizational structures;

Hierarchical - top down overview, larger and smaller portions are rated amongst importance. One large group, with smaller subgroups that cascade in order of significance.

Hypertext - text displayed with references to other text and a wider variety of information. Sometimes can contain tables, images, or other links with further knowledge.

Relational Database model - Database model based on the first piece of information, this describes all the prerequisites that must be satisfied for the next step to take place.

Bottom Up - Taking smaller pieces and brining them together to produce a database or system from smaller pieces, all the way to the top of the diagram.

Top Down - Involves breaking down the database or system in to smaller more manageable categories to look at the inner components individually.

Taxonomies - revolves around classification, and the manner in which it is conducted in. "taxa" are the units involved in the classification.

Site navigation terms and concepts - open/closed, heterogeneous/homogeneous, Sequences, topical, Chunking - should be easy to find and research information on the website, with a clear and concise goal and supporting facts and sources to back up contents of the web page.

  1. This is nicely done. A bit clearer distinction between schemes and structures would've been nice, but overall good job.
