Abstract

Taxonomies are often thought to play a niche role within content-oriented knowledge management projects. They are thought to be 'nice to have' but not essential. In this ground-breaking book, Patrick Lambe shows how they play an integral role in helping organizations coordinate and communicate effectively. Through a series of case studies, he demonstrates the range of ways in which taxonomies can help organizations to leverage and articulate their knowledge. A step-by-step guide in the book to running a taxonomy project is full of practical advice for knowledge managers and business owners ali

Abstract

The window has a long and fascinating history. It has evolved in response to the availability of resources, developments in design and technology, and the demands of those who use them. At once functional and aesthetic, the window must keep out the weather, provide ventilation, prevent intruders and buffer sound. Windows are also integral to the appearance of buildings, reflecting the practice and taste of particular regions or periods. The window cannot be seen in isolation from the building fabric in which it is set. This book presents, for the first time, a comprehensive treatment of the history and conservation of windows. Bringing together the practical experience of conservation practitioners with the knowledge of leading historians in the field, it offers a unique understanding of the window structure. Part 1 covers the history of the window including the development in glass technology. It also provides an illustrated glossary of window types. Part 2 reviews the changes in policy and legislation and discusses structural issues, decay mechanisms and the current stringent performance standards and how they affect historic windows. Part 3 focuses on the materials used in the construction of windows and the craft of leaded glazing. It details the appropriate techniques for repair and conservation.

Abstract

Die Studie rekonstruiert die Geschichte, wie sich gelehrte Autoren des Späthumanismus mit ihren in Texten artikulierten Ideen an einem Problem abarbeiten: dem Problem, wie man die beschleunigt anwachsende Menge der Bücher und des Wissens ordnen und kanalisieren kann. In vierfacher Hinsicht schließt die Arbeit eine Forschungslücke: Erstens rekonstruiert sie den Zeitraum von 1580 bis 1630 als zentrale Periode der Geschichte imaginierter Bibliotheken. Zweitens zeigt sie so, inwiefern die Konzeption imaginierter Bibliotheken eine zentrale Rolle für die Konstruktion von Ordnungen des Wissens in der Frühen Neuzeit spielt. Drittens argumentiert die Studie dafür, dass die Geschichte von Bibliotheken in Literatur als Geschichte von Ideen gelesen werden muss, mit denen Autoren auf Probleme reagieren. Viertens macht sie deutlich, dass der Vorstellungsraum imaginierter Bibliotheken in der untersuchten Periode im Hinblick auf eine Reihe zentraler Aspekte textsortenübergreifend große Homogenität aufweist, dass es aber textsortenintern starke Traditionslinien gibt, die sich untereinander beträchtlich unterscheiden.

Abstract

Trotz der eminenten Bedeutung, die der Historia literaria als Medium der Gelehrtenkultur und als Instrument einer neuordnung des Wissens in der zweiten Hälfte des 17. und während des gesamten 18. Jahrhunderts ohne Zweifel zukam, ist die Gelehrsamkeitsgeschichte bisher nur vereinzelt Gegenstand des wissenschaftlichen Interesses gewesen. Dieser Band bildet die erste Monographie zum Thema. Er soll Auskunft geben über Konzepte und Programme der Historia literaria, einzelne Praktiken und Publikationsformen vorstellen, Nachbargattungen und Alternativen erörtern. Beschlossen wird die Monographie durch eine Wortmeldung, in der U. J. Schneider die Historia literaria einerseits, ihre historiographische Erforschung andererseits in einem Zusammenhang bringt und einer wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen und forschungsstrategischen Reflexion unterwirft.

Abstract

Architectural work on existing structures has become enormously important in recent years. For the majority of architects, this is where future market opportunities will lie. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field and is thus addressed to all practitioners, students, and building sponsors whose interest goes beyond an initial encounter with this wideranging field of activity. Contradicting the conventional view that creative design work is the exclusive province of new building design, the authors offer a nuanced account of active and creative strategies for planning, design, and execution. Subjects considered range from town planning issues through the overall project cycle and its individual phases all the way to building management. Special focuses are the grammar of design as well as the issues arising through collaboration of different experts. In order to illuminate this broad and complex spectrum of topics, the book incorporates thirty examples of projects from Europe and North America, in which buildings from a huge variety of periods - from the Middle Ages to the 1960s - are transferred into the present.
