  7. For us, IA is information • Representation • What types of info do we have? • How is each type constructed? • Organization • How are items of the type related • To each other • To the whole base of info • Display • How do we layout the info and it’s org • How do we name (Label) the display • What parts of each type and org belong on each display?

  8. How’s it different than • Software development: Implements the structures that an IA creates • X management systems • Content, asset, record, document, data, knowledge, etc. • Web sites • The Web is what made IA so hot, but it is only the first stop. • Libraries and information science • IA came from library science but has moved on to embrace a world of other stuff.
