Information architecture
Information architecture is the structural design of shared information environments, in particular the organisation of websites and software to support usability and findability.
The term information architecture was coined by Richard Saul Wurman.[citation needed] Since its inception, information architecture has become an emerging community of practice focused on applying principles of design, architecture and information science in digital spaces.
Typically, a model or concept of information is used and applied to activities which require explicit details of complex information systems. These activities include library systems and database development.[citation needed]
The term information architecture has different meanings in different branches of information systems or information technology.
In user experience design, information architecture has been described as the structural design of shared information environments, comprising the study and practice of organising and labelling web sites, intranets, online communities, and software to support user experience, in particular, the findability and usability of information. It has also been described as an emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.
Technically speaking, information architecture comprises the combination of organization, labeling, search and navigation systems within websites and intranets, serving as a navigational aid to the content of information-rich systems.
Information architecture can be described as a subset of data architecture where usable data is constructed, designed, and arranged in a fashion most useful to the users of data.[citation needed]
In the field of systems design, for example, information architecture is a component of enterprise architecture that deals with the information component when describing the structure of an enterprise. Some system design practitioners regard information architecture as strictly the application of information science to web design, which considers such issues as classification and information retrieval, and not factors like user experience and information design.
