Duane Degler presented on reframing information architecture. He discussed external drivers like evolving user roles, new data environments, linked data, and challenges. Internal drivers included information architecture's relationship to user experience, cross-over with other domains, processes like agile development, and the evolution of the field. The goal was to provide a framework to allow contextual forces to interact transparently and be controlled by the user.

Dynamic IA
Provide a coherent framework for a user’s experience,
allowing many contextual forces to interact with each other
in a way that is transparent, and controlled, by the user.
