[Sigia-l] Taxonomists vs. information architects

[jean.graef]

One of our members recently asked me whether taxonomists and information
architects (IA's) do the same kind of work. In her experience, taxonomists
develop linguistic tools and IA's apply them to Web sites. But is this true
in other companies? Does the work of taxonomists and IA's overlap, and if so
how? We might also ask where does the enterprise architect or knowledge
base editor fit in?

If you are performing in any of these roles - taxonomist, information
architect, enterprise architect, knowledge base editor - I would like to
hear about what you do and how your work relates to these other jobs. Your
remarks can be "off the record," and you can remain anonymous if we use
anything you say for a future article for the Montague Institute Review.
