Once we talk about Document or Content Management System, the Information Architecture identifies the links and relationships between documents and content, specifies document requirements and attributes, and defines the structure of content in a document or content management system.
Information Architecture plays vital role and it is the process of creating structure for a body of information or content. It includes the following components:
- Controlled Vocabularies
- Taxonomies and Ontologies
- Navigation Maps
- Metadata Maps
- Search Functionality Specifications
- Use Cases
- User Flows
The information architecture and the content strategy together describe the “What” – what content will be managed in a system. The design phases describe “How” the content management strategy will be implemented.
