While wondering what has happened with the long-awaited second edition of famous first IA book Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, I came across an interview with them on IA website Boxes and Arrows.
      Here is their definition of Information Architecture.
  1. The combination of organization, labeling, and navigation schemes within an information system.
  2. The structural design of an information space to facilitate task completion and intuitive access to content.
  3. The art and science of structuring and classifying web sites and intranets to help people find and manage information.
  4. An emerging discipline and community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.
No, I am not unaware that the second edition was published earlier this year in the United States. It is just that I have not seen a copy in any of the local bookstores on any of my regular sorties since publication in August. In fact very, very few O'Reilly & Associates books turn up here at all. I wonder why? They do some fantastic books on essential subjects.
