Article Idea:
Search & IA - relationship
suggested by subbiah ramalingam on 2007/01/09
Good Information design leads to optimum information retrieval which is nothing but good search results
•
A very simple explanation between good search engine optimization and IA is : -
IA = Taxonomy, metadata, Thesauri, labels, Document types + Navigation
Search = Relevant search results + related search information + grouping + data type + search results navigation/display
A graphical illustration of the above is available at “http://iaindia.blog.com/”

IA is the organization of information according to Taxonomy, metadata, Thesauri… Taxonomy, metadata and thesuari also require organization.
The use of taxonomy metadata and thesauri in search is required for contextualized results and the basis of parametric and faceted search.
As IAs we tend to recommend these as foundation for organizing information…. Why to find it, and trust it, and share it, and reuse it….
