Information architecture

Information architecture is the structural design of shared information environments, in particular the organisation of websites and software to support usability and findability.

The term information architecture was coined by Richard Saul Wurman. Since its inception, information architecture has become an emerging community of practice focused on applying principles of design, architecture and information science in digital spaces.

Typically, a model or concept of information is used and applied to activities which require explicit details of complex information systems. These activities include library systems and database development.
