I think that as it's currently practiced and I base most of this on my involvement in the same community that you described, information architecture is a pretty large field. There are far more people doing maybe what you would call hard IAA now or at least more speaking about it. And there's a mix of designers and data modelers or however you want to think about that side. So I think that the field encompasses that entire range of practice. Some people work in the middle where they do both kinds of things. It took me a little while to come to grips with this sort of idea because I don't do interface design or anything like that. But I think my perspective has changed.
Bob Kasenchak is a taxonomist and information architect at Factor. Bob’s background is in music, and this conversation delves into what information architects can learn from studying music. We recorded two conversations on the subject: this one focuses on the structure of music itself, and the second covers how we can make music more findable. Look for that one in an upcoming episode.
