Presentation
Zen and the Art of Information Architecture
Amongst the various Enterprise Architecture domains (Business, Information, Technology, Data), Information Architecture (IA) occupies a unique position as both a domain of EA, and an end-product of EA. When creating artifacts, in any EA domain, we apply the principle of Information Architecture:  The art and science of expressing models or concepts for information, and designing shared information environments. But IA is also a fully fledged domain in itself, by encapsulating and exposing the flow of information throughout organizations, and creating `knowledge platforms'. In exploring the duality inherent in IA, Carl Reyneke takes a detour via Eastern philosophy. Don't miss this enlightening discourse on Zen and the Art of Information Architecture.
