Most of you have started to think about what you will do for the project. Remember that each team needs to present the project proposal on October 17 or 18. To help you focus more on the idea and the creative process, rather than on the proposal writing, I have written up a template for your proposal presentation and write-up. The template outlines the main issues and key questions that you need to address when you present your project proposal. You are free to add more if you consider it appropriate.
Subject of Interest
- Describe the subject of your interest.
- Overview the nature and the amount of information.
- Outline how to obtain the information.
Overview on Information Entity
- Define clearly the choice of information entity.
- Describe the basic attributes of each information entity.
- Do you need to narrow down the choice of information entities?
- Estimate the total number of information entities you need to obtain.
First Level Categorization
- Describe how to categorize the information entities.
- Estimate total number of categories.
- Give the name of each category that you would use.
Further Characterization
- Describe the principle of tagging each information entity.
- Determine the possible tags that you would use.
- Estimate the total number of tags.
- Estimate the pattern of tags distribution.
Information Presentation
For each type of the single pages, the category pages, the tag pages, and the front page, address the following two questions.
- What information will be shown in those pages?
- What extra information will you include in those pages?
Present the UI wireframe for each type of pages.
For the front page presentation, think about how to give the big picture of the subject of interest.
Conclusions
- How do you perceive the values of the final product?
- Express your expectation on the product.
- Other concluding remarks

In the first tutorial, you will register for this course weblog so that you can leave your comments and discuss with others.
I will then give you a demonstration of the tools, platform and programs that you may use to do your project.
Finally, you will introduce yourself to the class, and also share with the class a great computer program you ever did in your study or your work.
