[Sigia-l] informationwhatever - glossary

[Drop, Daniel SIK]

There is another definition of information architecture that comes from
the enterprise architecture discipline
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_architecture).  The definition
of Information Architecture on NIH's web page
(http://enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov/ArchLib/AT) comes from that
angle.
