## Summary
Organizing systems are arranged collections of resources that enable interactions across many domains. The Discipline of Organizing defines a unified framework and life cycle: selection, organization, interaction design, and maintenance. Good organizing uses clear principles and trade-offs so resources are easier to find and supports new kinds of collections beyond traditional silos.
