There are  no absolutes
There’s no perfect system,  Only  reduction of disorder
There’s no definition, only  individual perception
There’s no final result,  only stages in an  ongoing process
There’s no truth, only lack of  sufficient information
Why should this matter to you?
 
 
ITALIA INSULA EST? You are Italian! You are European!

European IA-manifesto
I We are people who  practice, research or educate in the field of information architecture within an European context .
II We define Europe as a  geographical, historical, political, social, and cultural entity,  north of Africa, east of the Americas and west of Asia.
III   We share the mutual identity and value system  with people living and working in Europe, because of our historical, political, social, and cultural similarities and despite of the same differences - as we all  consider the transfer of information, knowledge and wisdom as the backbone of our civilization.
IV  We intend to facilitate, nurture and further develop the continuous and  free exchange of information across all boundaries  in Europe, as well as in the rest of the world.
V   We respect and value  the local, regional, national and international communities of information architecture and related fields.
VI  We cherish freedom of speech and access to free, non-censored information , as we submit ourselves to all national, European and international laws and fully underwrite the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
VII  We contribute to the European dimension of information architecture in theory, practice, research and education , by focusing on all contextual aspects of individuals and groups interacting with information in their personal life, their work, and play.
The future is  here... ...what are you waiting for?
