[Sigia-l] Taxonomy/Classification IA and Enterprise IA

[Chung, Hedahne]

Chiara, 

I would agree with you regarding your observation about Enterprise IA, and I
think that the future will demand much more of that...at least from the
in-house IA perspective (that's me). 
As for the "site map+interactivity" type IAs, to be honest, I see that sort
of understanding being rolled out as part of a broader range of
understanding by creative and business roles. I agree that someone needs to
own that role and the documentation and leadership associated with it, but
alot of visual designers, flash developers, front end QA, business analysts,
content managers and the like also have the mindset/ aptitude for
respecting, understanding and integrating the tasks/understandings
associated with that particular type of IA.

I wonder how many taxonomy/classification/LIS IAs are innies and not
outies? That's where I landed after Argus.

Also, what about Enterprise IA? We don't talk much about that around here.
I see the taxonomy/classification type of IA feeding into Enterprise IA
rather easily.

What do others think?
