Rational Requirement Composer

Wondering if somebody on the list is familiar with IBM's Rational
Requirement Composer software and how it compares to Visio and Axure.
Thanks in advance for the input.

Time period in navigation

Hi,

I am working on solution for a books-focused site, which publicate lots of
announcements (50-100 new books per day).

The problem is how to design filtering announcements by time period
(supposing that subject-filtering is already done): user may be interested
in books published on specific day, week, month and lots of combinations
(e.g. "books published in last month or announced for next two weeks").

Which solution would you suggest? Simple inputs/calendars?
GoogleAnalytics-like calendars? Timeline with two sliders*?

Examples of tags as dominant navigation?

Hello peers,

I'm working on a high-volume video site that covers an enormous number of
topics that is growing by 2-5 topics/subtopics per month. Our search is
great btu we need to improve wayfinding and browseability. We had an
overblown hierarchical structure before that was difficult to manage on the
editorial side. Our biggest problems to solve now:

1) Hierarchical structure is problematic because each video can easily fit
in multiple categories.

"Help! Is there a Cardiothoracic Surgeon in theroom?"

"In our training institutions, we don't have an equivalent notion to
resident rotation, where those new to the field get to experience the
entire thing, then choose their specialty."

That may be true; I didn't go to school for UX. But I'd argue that
start-ups provide this type of skills rotation.
