A partir de la importancia que representan actualmente los ambientes informacionales digitales en el acceso y recuperación de la información, se busca evaluar la encontrabilidad de la información en el sitio web del Archivo General de la Nación de Colombia. Para ello, se utilizó un checklist que permite analizar los atributos de encontrabilidad de información en ambientes informacionales. Dicho sitio web cumplió con algunos de los atributos, siendo aún necesario implementar mejoras que se adapten tanto a estos atributos como a los requisitos tecnológicos actuales. Desde una visión menos técnica, se enfatiza la importancia de la participación de los profesionales de las ciencias de la información en el proceso de diseño y desarrollo de ambientes informacionales digitales.

Based on the importance that digital information environments currently represent in accessing and retrieving information, we seek to assess the findability of information on the website of the Archivo General de la Nación de Colombia. For this purpose, a checklist was used to analyze the attributes of information findability in informational environments. The mentioned website satisfied some of the attributes, and it is still necessary to implement improvements that suit both these attributes and the current technological requirements. Based on a less technical view, the importance of the participation of Information Science professionals in the design and development process of digital information environments is emphasized.

The researches of Information Architecture and Semantic Web are increasingly necessary, due to the need to have an understanding of the context of the information, both from the perspective of human users and non-humans/machines users. These two study fields contribute to improving the way informational content is presented and used in digital environments. Thus, this paper identified and analyzed the relationships between Information Architecture systems and Semantic Web resources, presenting how each Information Architecture system can benefit from the incorporation of Semantic Web technologies. For this, a qualitative methodology was used, with a descriptive and exploratory approach, relating the five systems of Information Architecture with the concepts, technologies and applications of the Semantic Web. As results, it was possible to verify that all systems of Information Architecture can be enriched with Semantic Web technologies. In this way, it was concluded that the application of Semantic Web technologies in Information Architecture systems contributes to a semantic structure of digital information environments.

Web accessibility and the availability of digital information content are analyzed from the perspective of Inclusive Digital Information Architecture. This methodology is focused on improving the quality of life of the users with special needs by facilitating their participation in digital information environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Information Architecture (IA) aids in development of digital information environments aiming at facilitating the user-system interaction. Personalization and customization services are presented as modules of information architecture for digital information environments. The proposal is presenting them in a unique structure, as a catalogue of service types. This architecture consists in a table which contains a name for the service and a description of it, as well as observations about the target-public and implantation guidelines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
