Emmanuel is a performance artist. During his most recent show, instead of walking out onto the stage when the curtain came up, he sat in the audience among his fans, scrolling through his phone, unnoticed by any of the audience members. 20 minutes later, when people started getting surly that the show hadn't started yet, Emmanuel walked onto the stage, picked up a sledge hammer, and smashed his phone to pieces. Then he walked off the stage. Suzy, age 4, used finger paint to create a rainbow on her parents' bathroom door. Michelangelo took four years to create the fresco on the wall of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance period.

Consider the following two documents: Doc 1 There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, "Morning, boys, how's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, "What the hell is water?" Doc 2 But one day as the queen was walking by the side of the river, at the bottom of the garden, she saw a poor little fish, that had thrown itself out of the water, and lay gasping and nearly dead on the bank. Then the queen took pity on the little fish, and threw it back again into the river; and before it swam away it lifted its head out of the water and said, 'I know what your wish is, and it shall be fulfilled...' What is the Tf*IDf score for each document, for the query "fish water"? Based on these scores, which document should be ranked first?

Doc 1 Tf*IDf: 5/2 = 2.5 Doc 2 Tf*IDf: 4/2 = 2 Doc 1 ranks first.

Congratulations! You've been hired as the information architect for Dirt Cheap Airlines. Your first week on the job, you sketch an awesome mock-up of a new section for the Web site that will help potential customers figure out the complicated pricing structure of Dirt Cheap Airlines. Bursting with pride, you bring the sketches to your boss.

Thinking in terms of the IA ecology model, you created the mock-ups because you were thinking about __(users / content / context)______. Your boss's reaction made you realize that _____ (users / content / context)_______ is also an important consideration in developing a Web site.
