[Sigia-l] The Heart of IA

[david_fiorito at Vanguard.com]

Cool.  Did you happen to catch the presentation that Richard Dalton and I 
put together for the IA Summit?  In that presentation we explored the 
interplay of content and navigation, and how navigation manifests the 
relationships between content elements on a site.  It sounds like some of 
your thinking and our presentation agree rather nicely.

I will re-read your blog post but it would seem our thinking on this 
matter is very similar.

Cheers,

Dave

I agree. Admittedly, it's hard to put your finger on it. I think I 
addressed the issue of the semantics of navigation design in my latest 
post on peterme.com

It ends:
"Navigation design isn't just about finding things -- it imbues meaning 
based on the contexts it provides."
