Information architecture


Information architecture is the art and science of expressing a model or concept for information. Information Architecture is utilized in web development, user interactions, database development, programming, technical writing, enterprise architecture, and other activities that require expressions of complex systems. Information architecture has somewhat different meanings in these different branches of what might be called IS and/or IT architecture. Most definitions have common qualities: a structural design of shared environments, methods of organizing and labeling Web sites, intranets, and online communities, and ways of bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.
