Abstract

It is argued that taxonomies differ in such fundamental ways from classifications and thesauri that the approach to their design, construction and implementation require a managerial dimension in addition to the technical. This synoptic approach, which takes into account a more detailed consideration of organisational structure, processes, tools and people; and the interactions between them is called Information Architecture. This term is defined and exemplified by discussion of these four generic components as they relate to usability and findability at the computer/human interface
