Latch model
"The premise of LATCH is that that nearly all organisational schemes for data can be reduced to five basic dimensions: Location, Alphabet, Time, Category and Hierarchy."
"LATCH works so well because it provides a easy-to-use framework for structuring information. Your choice, writes Mr. Wurman, should be determined by the story you want to tell. “Each way will permit a different understanding of the information—within each are many variations. However, recognizing that the main choices are limited makes the process less intimidating.”"

LATCH – Methods of Organization
- Location
- Alphabet
- Time
- Category
- Hierarchy
Location
Compare information coming from various sources.
Alphabet
Used for very large bodies of information. Not always the best organisation method- forced organisation rather than natural.
Time
Used for events that occur over a fixed duration. Easy to understand, easy to draw comparisons and conclusions.
Category
Well reinforced by colour and placement. Grouped by similar importance- a value judgment.
Hierarchy
Assign value or weight to the information; usually on a scale.
