Editing Information architecture (section)

=== Debate ===
The difficulty in establishing a common definition for "information architecture" arises partly from the term's existence in multiple fields.  In the field of [[systems design]], for example, information architecture is a component of [[enterprise architecture]] that deals with the information component when describing the structure of an enterprise.

While the definition of information architecture is relatively well-established in the field of systems design, it is much more debatable within the context of online information (i.e., websites). Andrew Dillon refers to the latter as the "big IA–little IA debate".<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Dillon | first = A | year = 2002 | title = Information Architecture in JASIST: Just where did we come from? | journal = Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology | volume = 53 | pages = 821–23 | issue = 10 | doi = 10.1002/asi.10090 }}.</ref> In the little IA view, information architecture is essentially the application of [[information science]] to [[web design]] which considers, for example, issues of classification and information retrieval. In the big IA view, information architecture involves more than just the organization of a website; it also factors in [[user experience]], thereby considering [[usability]] issues of [[information design]].
