5. Information architecture (IA) is the structural design of shared information environments; the art
and science of organizing and labelling websites, intranets, online communities and software to
support usability and findability; and an emerging community of practice focused on bringing
principles of design, architecture and information science to the digital landscape.
Typically, it involves a model or concept of information that is used and applied to activities
which require explicit details of complex information systems. These activities include library
systems and database development.
