Sottintendendone il genitive "information", ma può anche dire if single sourcing or, in the country and the dell'informazione outside the strategies of the purchasing offices that use a single supplier, single source publishing or even modular writing.
Already there had dimesticato cognitive psychology with the notion of chunking , the acquisition of discrete information that unity ( chunk, in fact, that a "quantity", a "block", a "tot" ) that has become so familiar that it can enter almost effortlessly in our memory in the short or long term, for example, the whistle for the smash hit of the summer (short term) or the ability to ride a bicycle (long-term ). He had taken nothing
unless William James in 1890 theorized the two types of memory, but it was only in the Fifties George Miller was able to measure the amount of information that the short-term memory can be considered.
Later the concept of chunk has expanded to mean, more generally, a "structured set of information stored at a time when knowledge is gained" ( Clayton Lewis, 1978) intending to explain the mechanism by who, learned chunk on a behavior, any responses to stress similar happens in ever shorter time. With the progress acquisition of knowledge, chunk become increasingly complex, rising from only declarative knowledge ("I know that you do so) to procedural knowledge ('I do').
Now, it is the chunking to be the basis of mapping information, ie, activity that is to shred and label information to facilitate understanding, use and recall.
The method, developed in the late Eighties by Robert E. Horn, Professor of Political Science and founder of Information Mapping Inc. and has identified more than two hundred chunk from which derive different types of information mapping (as Procedure, Process, Principle, Concept, Fact, and Structure) , is now almost universally used in the structuring of texts ( structured writing) intended for technical communication: exactly the craft of "documentary" in the U.S. endeavors to exploit a single document as a source for a variety of more complex outcomes, such as user manuals or help online.
Why rewrite the same text or different destinations and formats, also known as: how to reuse the information available? That is: how to transform information in a linear form so that it can be assembled and re-assembled? And most importantly, it can be done automatically? (For some time we feel like desktop publisher or Adobe FrameMaker Apache Forrest or Altova StyleVision ). But the job of
this type of retriever is applied to other activities, such as those who see the modern webmaster committed to defining the minimum unit granularity of information needed in a specific area, as a single text ( but also an audio-visual), which carries a single idea (up to the limit, just one idea for every web page) to be distributed within the architecture more effective than a website. Or, everything that we said to the voice Chains cognitive in the previous issue of the "Library."
What goes beyond the webmastering and can touch the design and optimization of the flow of documents for the purpose of knowledge management . For example, it was applied single sourcing in a non-usual 's abandoned project "Clear!" Department of Public for the simplification of administrative language: compounds in anti-bureaucratic forms can assemble for various procedural requirements.
