Content Everywhere
“The best we can all do is focus our limited
stock of human care and attention toward
designing systems [...] not obsessing over
individual pages for individual platforms.”
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
Responsive
Information Architecture
An information design strategy that allows for
the expression of specific meaning across
multiple and independent contexts.
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
Rich understanding of the information ecology
Content-driven guidelines for interaction
design choices
Articulated information structures based on
multiple modes of meaning making
Embrace ambiguity as a strategy for negotiating
the connected environment

Modes of Signification
Symbolic
the signifier does not resemble the signified; it is
arbitrary and conventional
Text
= Tree
(signifier)(signified)
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
Modes of Signification
Symbolic
the signifier does not represent the signified; it is
arbitrary and conventional
Indexical
the signifier is directly connected to the signified
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
Smoke signifies fire
Fever signifies infection
A knock signifies a visitor
Handwriting signifies the writer
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
Modes of Signification
Symbolic
the signifier does not represent the signified; it is
arbitrary and conventional
Indexical
the signifier is directly connected to the signified
Iconic
the signifier is perceived as resembling or imitating
the signified
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
- Daniel Chandler. Semiotics
“Iconic signifiers seem to present reality more
directly than symbolic signs.”

THE NATURE OF
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
Ontology
• “Particular meaning”
• “What we mean when we say what we say”
• The argument: how we encourage users to think
about the content or functionality we are
offering
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
Taxonomy
• “Arrangement of the parts”
• “Arrangement of meaning in and across contexts”
• How the pieces of the argument fit together – a
method of arrangement conceived to create a
particular kind of understanding.
#ResponsiveIA @andybywire
• “Rules for interaction among the parts”
• “The appropriate unfolding”
• Must respond to context in order to be effective
