Abstract

This chapter analyzes the definition, origins, and evolution of Information Architecture (IA), discusses IA principles, the need to understand IA, the problems that can be solved by IA, and IA in practice. It also discusses the characteristic patterns of IA to comprehensively understand IA from five aspects, such as core concepts, research objects, disciplinary viewpoint, effects, and the human’s role in IA. In terms of implementing IA, the chapter analyzes two guiding theoretic principles and the common process of IA and summarizes and concludes with tools, methods, and measures of IA.
