English abstract

Information architecture is currently emerging as a discipline that concerns itself with the development of systematic approaches to the organization and presentation of online information. It has emerged rapidly as a developing professional practice – more rapidly than university curricula have been able, for the most part, to develop coherent approaches to the theory and practice of IA and to the professional needs of practitioners. An ‘architecture’ analogy is appropriate for information architecture since it provides methods and models for education and professional development.
