I have been designing an information architecture for my research lately that is an amalgam and maturation of various ideas that I've been developing for many years.

I'm sure it will evolve further, but at present it looks something like this:

Inputs:

• Zotero for bibliographic management
• MediaWiki for text entry

Storage

• MySQL for wiki database
• MySQLite for Zotero database
• Flat files for Spotlight indexing

Outputs:

• http://localhost python scripts
• http://localhost php scripts
• Microsoft Word with my Zotero/Flock integration

I'm so energized about it that I decided to make a prezi of it:
