Semantics in HTML

January 9, 2007 at 1:53 AM

A few minutes after sorting out my Digital Web IA blogging arrangements, I came across an article by John Allsopp. It is not a traditional IA article, but is something I think should be of great interest to IAs.

The article is the first of a series about semantics in HTML. Why do I think this is related to IA?

It is about structure of content (internal content structure as opposed to overall structure of content)
It is about how meaning is conveyed in that structure
It is about how we can use that meaning to build better products
And there's a decent dose of linguistics and philosophy thrown in
