Grant, your English background shines wonderfully through in this thoughtful story. I often get burned out from reading so much of “the literature,” but I was able to sail through your article. I am an IA wannabe that simply does not have the time to get involved (“there’s more to read, more to write, more to think about, and more to solve, than you could ever possibly manage in your lifespan” [amen]).

I especially appreciate your notion that there must be be apoint at which a curriculum of study can be developed for a discipline. We IA voyeurs need the “informationarti” to let us know what do do without us having to go through the pain you have already experienced. I, for one, am ready to learn from the historical tale of our IA forefolks.

Thanks for the experience.

I realize that this article is dated, but I need to know if software exists that will permit us to use an index-term markup language that we created. We need it to crawl our site, find the coding, harvest terminology and index level of the term, grab the URL and return the info to a database where the terms can be aggregated for multiple references to the same term for multiple links.
