Terms information architects, librarians, and botanists love:
-Labels (terms, systems and physical objects used to catalog the garden, online, etc)
-Concordance/s
-Glossary/Lexicon
-Taxonomy/Ontology (species, genus, etc.)
-Field Guides
-Tools to Measure/Predict (Divining Stick, Weathervain, Thermometer...)
-Documentation
Information Design Challenges:
-Documenting Scale (show egg or hand in a photo to indicate its scale)
-Consistency in Nomenclature & Categorization
-Multi-lingual/internationalization
-Iconography
Hot Topics: Frontlines
-"Dashboards"
-All things eco (urban homesteading,...)
-Water conservation and the coming apocalypse
-Iconic indicators (=signage?)
-Literary terms (word of the day, the word that means a microcosm representing the larger topic)
