Information architecture (IA) is about systemising and categorising information resources. We work with IA on the basis of definitions given by Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville (definitions from "Information Architecture for the World Wide Web"):
-
The structural design of shared information environments
-
The combination of organisation, labeling, search, and navigation systems within web sites and intranets
-
The art and science of shaping information products and experiences to support usability and findability
-
An emerging discipline and community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape
