Abstract
This paper describes an investigation of user-centred design methodologies intended to apply to
metadata or information architecture evaluation and deployment. The primary focus of this work
is investigation of user conceptual models and comparison with formally architected models. We
describe related work, primarily from the domain of information architecture, such as free-listing,
contextual enquiry, card-sorting and evaluation, and then describes the design, initial evaluation
and practical use of a multi-stage prototyping method designed for elicitation of user knowledge
and concepts of a domain, common conceptual models in that domain and the objects, collections
and relations between objects considered relevant by users. A simple approach to the analysis of
results is described.
