Information Architecture Explained Groups of 3 Watch this prezi, What’s the three most important points? http://prezi.com/aafmvya6bk7t/understanding-information-architecture/
How do we (info people) get our hands around anything? What is it? What is in it? How is it different?
let’s make it simple A la English • Information: The common forms of knowledge artifacts we find around us • Architecture: The art and science of designing structures. • Information Architecture: The art and science of designing information structures.
What’s in it? • Defining • Users, content, systems • Organizing • Indexes, taxonomies, associations, sequences, thesauri. • Naming (Labeling ) • Controls, areas, navigation
How’s it different than • Software development: Implements the structures that an IA creates • X management systems • Content, asset, record, document, data, knowledge, etc. • Web sites • The Web is what made IA so hot, but it is only the first stop. • Libraries and information science • IA came from library science but has moved on to embrace a world of other stuff.
How to sum it all up? IA is about info: • Representation • What “types” of info do we have? • What are the “attributes” of each type? • Organization • How do we amass items of each type? • How do items relate to each other? • Presentation • How should we show an item of info? • How should people get to the item they want?
Some important IA-ish stuff we will not cover • Content Strategy • Analytics • SEO
