Subject Terms:	Information resources, Students, *Teachers, Information sharing, Taxonomy
Abstract:	Architectural web resources are scattered around the web and hardly accessible by professionals, educators or students. This article presents a European project (MACE*), which aims at integrating those resources through metadata in order to contribute to the creation and sharing of information among the architectural community. The research is based on use cases and scenarios that have contributed to the designing of taxonomies about the domain knowledge, which will constitute the basis for the creation of metadata. They will be the information structure which will allow the system to search and browse through the various repositories in an efficient and intelligent way. This instrument will support Architecture teaching and learning in blended e-learning environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
