Information Architecture, like any field in the web industry, can often have different approaches to the same problem - as Donna Spencer and Trent Mankelow’s friendly debate on information categorisation methods and techniques, published in the print edition of New Zealand’s Computerworld magazine last week, goes to show.
The piece highlights that a variety of tools and techniques can be applied to a given problem. Knowing what to use and when really comes from the knowledge and research of an experienced Information Architect.
Donna will be speaking at the Edge of the Web conference and running the introductory workshop Information Architecture: Just the Essentials in November.

When the Sydney Morning Herald was looking for a handful of super-geeks to talk about what’s cool right now for those who live and breathe the internet, one of the people they found was Tim Lucas.
The resulting article - published in the print edition only, it seems, although a large scan is available here available online at the SMH site - features responses from Cheryl Gledhill, Virginia Murdoch, John Allsopp and Lachlan Hardy as well as Tim.
Tim will be speaking at Edge of the Web in November on the challenges of developing applications for devices such as the iPhone, a device which features prominently in his responses to the SMH questions!
