¡Ay, caramba! What’s this all

about?

Angel makes a decision

Sounds like I should not take any

more antioxidant pills!

Need to restate this information

“Must Avoid” doesn’t really

convey a proper sense of reality

Because

Create a new set of representations by connecting the two core concepts and

explaining the connection

Olivia gets bonus points for justifying her assertion.

As a Noun:

A collection of people, information resources, and boundary infrastructures (portals) together with many related boundary objects (user interface widgets, …)

As a Verb:

Topic maps merging without filters

Transparency

Need to know why a merge was performed

Contestability

Need to be able to contest a merge

Need to be able to unwind a merge

User accessibility

Users must be able to

Propose a merge

Debate a merge
