# Information architecture | | **Information architecture** (IA) is the structural design of shared information environments; the art and science of organizing and labelling websites, intranets, online communities and software to support usability and findability; and an emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design, architecture and information science to the digital landscape. Typically, it involves a model or concept of information that is used and applied to activities which require explicit details of complex information systems. These activities include library systems and database development. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Information architecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_architecture) | [[Data]] [[Information theory]]
