As I said, it is applicable to other mediums, but is it in it's most
realized form in the web/internet? The classification systems you mention
were neatly seen to by librarians. Is an IA only a librarian with a fancy
title? What makes an IA not a librarian?

I know it sounds like a duh, but I think it is more complex that that.
