Information architecture subdisciplines

Nate Davis discusses the four subdisciplines within information architecture that influence the construction of digital user interfaces. The first subdiscipline is architecture, which involves aligning and resolving intent to create a coherent objective. Design, the second subdiscipline, focuses on solving user needs and designing artifacts such as taxonomies and site maps. Engineering, the third subdiscipline, involves instantiating the design and implementing it without the need for extensive technical coding. Lastly, the operations subdiscipline deals with maintaining and systematizing workflows to ensure the sustainability and durability of the UI structure over time.
