Overview

Increasingly huge and unstructured information flow leads to overload and loss of control, and little attention has been paid to the broader issues of coherence and co-ordination of information. This book addresses these broader issues, which are the driving force behind the development of information architecture (IA). It starts from the perception that information systems and sources need to be designed within a framework, an architecture, which requires a detailed understanding of the function of information and the tools required to manipulate it within the organization. This involves undertaking continuous monitoring of developments in ICT.
