GOALS AND MINERVA LOUVRE.FR



An analysis of the site of the Louvre in the light of the objectives of Minerva.


An example of a very high level of European museum, which offers online access everything that has physical location is in the Louvre (www.louvre.fr ).
In what follows I will present an analysis of the site following the grid quality objectives Minerva.
(See http://qualitywebsites.blogspot.com/2005/11/gli-obiettivi-minerva-per-la-qualita.html )
Under each category defined by a goal, I will indicate the section and the links corresponding site of the Louvre. This analysis, however accurate, does not purport to be comprehensive nor complete.
may seem like a series of links a bit 'dry. The idea is that of an analysis of a site in the light of the 12 targets Minerva. Navigating the site of the Louvre in its various sections you can check the consistency with those goals. So a category Minerva -> links to the site. In so doing, the intent is to submit material of any use to understand both the site (in that section is structured) and the cultural subject (task and purpose).
As you can see almost all the objectives are achieved by the Minerva site, which thus conforms almost completely to 12 quality goals. Only
objective 5, about the rules and industry standards, is not explicitly covered, it is essentially a target (secondary) of transparency on the workings of cultural subject. Moreover the transparency is clearly a quality that is particularly dear to the establishment of the Louvre. In fact, the quality of transparency in its work is largely satisfied by the site of the Louvre, as evidenced by sections of the site that I linked in the "areas" described by other objectives.

collaborative filtering


What is collaborative filtering?

What follows is a reflection on "collaborative filtering". The content of this reflection is essentially a paraphrase of the pages 143 to 148 of Chapter 6 - Slugs, Ants and Amazon.com - by Andy Clark (2003): Natural-Born Cyborgs , Oxford University Press.

Browsing the Web leave tracks.
The electronic traces we leave when we access data, when we use a search engine, when we make a purchase online, when we communicate, can be tracked, analyzed, grouped together with traces of other Web surfers, and ultimately, exploited to generate new knowledge.
A special use of this new knowledge generated by the interaction of the traces left on the net is what make sites like http://www.amazon.com , one of the biggest and most popular commercial sites. Amazon.com uses tracks electronic leave users who visit your site for information and customize the report maintains that with its customers.
Amazon.com is the prime example of how it can be harnessed "knowledge" that we allow the network to develop a quality site that can customize the information that it transmits.

me give an example. We intend to buy a CD of Peter Tosh through Amazon. While we buy that cd we are informed: 'People who bought this album also bought ...'. We are informed that a series of CDs has been purchased by buyers of the same cd of Peter Tosh. This process is commercially very effective. In fact often happens that a person will find interesting cd did not know, and that match your tastes, following the trails of other purchasers of the same cd that is likely to have the same interests.
The IT architecture of Amazon, using the traces left by its customers, is based on dynamic knowledge structures, capable of self-organization (self organizing knowledge structures).
More specifically, the technique used to suggest a CD to a user of the Amazon depends on a system of collaborative filtering ( collaborative filtering). Collaborative filtering systems to propose a custom tips through the computation similarities between our preferences and those of other people.
As mentioned above, each share of a buyer leaves traces in the Amazon. After a sufficient number of shares similar patterns emerge in the web of choices shared by multiple buyers. Suppose that I, the buyer of the CD of Peter Tosh, also includes two other CD. One of the CD is a gift for a friend with musical tastes are very different from mine, the second is another CD I buy for myself. Likely choices from the second cd will be not much different from the choices of other fans of Peter Tosh who buy CDs in the Amazon. In this case, the electronic traces, organized according to the technique of collaborative filtering, will lead other buyers of the CD by Peter Tosh to products that meet their taste in music.

The simple tactic to ensure that the buyer's online activities leave electronic traces that can be followed by other buyers reveals a powerful type of cognitive structure. One such procedure is powerful because it allows the action patterns of buyers' speak for itself "and will signify in the space of Web paths immediate and municipalities. These collective paths have the advantage of delineating categories are not ordinary. These categories emerge automatically deviate from the categories we use to routinely rank our choices. The category, in this case, the activity is created directly Buyers Online: It is a type of category planning, emerges from collective choices and thus so flexible as the choices of buyers.
Another advantage of a system based on collaborative filtering. Imagine a system that not only keeps track of what different people have chosen, but also the temporal sequence of choices. Such a system could develop common pattern of evolution of the choices and thus offer useful advice on what to try to choose in the future.

What Does Hiv Feces Look Like

affordance AND AMAZON.COM AND WEBSITES


What the affordances of a web site?


One of the most interesting concepts developed by Donald Norman in the context of cognitive ergonomics is to affordance.
The cognitive ergonomics studies the interaction man-machine-environment factors come into play cognitive and emotional, related to the dynamics of perception, learning, memory and problem solving skills. That are studied ways by which a user builds a mental model of the product that you are using, and creates certain expectations about its operation.
L ' affordance is a property that an object with its very form suggests how to be used. Introduced by the psychologist James Gibson, that term describes a relationship between an agent and a surrounding environment is an invitation that the environment has to be used in a certain way.
Think of a handle, or a remote control, which by their form invite to be used in a certain direction. The affordance of a handle of a door is such that we understand at a glance that the handle rests the whole hand and press down.
But think also, as an example of non-affordances, those gates and it is not clear which side should be pushed to be opened. Note that the affordance is a product of culture, not a given "natural" object. A native of Australia might not know how to use a remote control and maybe we would not know how to use a harpoon fishing Inuit fitted with a propeller but a spear and its engine are just two pieces of wood. It is no coincidence that Norman Nielsen, and have founded a company that offers services in strategies that enhance the user experience. In fact, the affordance is a key ingredient for usability, and consequently the quality of a site. Ergonomics and usability
imply a way of designing a site that user centered design, user-centered design.
In simpler words, if I create a quality website, I have made so that it is adequate for its target audience, as if it produces a remote control it must have sizes and shapes such that the hands of human beings can grasp it. In short we must ensure that objects in one site behave as their appearance suggests ( call functional objects ). The user of a website should be able to understand how to use something just looking at it ( visibility ), establishing correspondences between conceptual commands and functions ( natural mapping). Visibility
, invitations and natural functional mapping are three characters in a usable site.
Some examples.
Visibility: a blue underlined word suggests the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing in the presence of a link to another page, where the emphasis is colored purple it means that the link has already been clicked. Invitations
functional: a button '→' ('forward') suggests the action of being pressed and not to be selected.
Natural mapping: the structure of a model for conducting research suggests that you should enter your search text in a certain field and then press the 'send'.

broadened our perspective. When we navigate a website, mainly because we do seek information, and we believe that the information we seek is transmitted in a reliable manner. According Origgi the affordances of the Internet are just a mnemonic (Calls to be used as a repository of information) and a relational (internet interpret in terms of intentions, beliefs and desires), and these affordances explain the success of certain content and 'failure of other
(See http://webphilosophy.blogspot.com/2005/10/internet-come-artefatto-cognitivo.html ).
A typical case, reported by Origgi, sites that exploit both of these affordances of the internet sites of community where people with similar interests meet to discuss a certain problem sharing a database of information.
Another example of a virtual space that leverages the affordances of the Internet is both the forum . The forum is a virtual space that many sites make available to its users to exchange views on a particular topic. Messages addressed to the forum are displayed on a web page for the second sequential organization date or in a tree structure, for esmpio brings together all the answers to a given intervention.

Ultimately the web designer to build a quality site, and therefore usable, must design objects in web pages so that we send clear messages about their possible use, on their actions and their duties.
must also reflect the two main affordances of the Internet, described by Origgi: the mnemonic for the internet which invites us to use it as a repository of information, and relational, for which we expect that the information that we are in the web is communicated in a reliable form for us, satisfying and relevant, just like a human agent to which we ask information.
