Episode notes
IA: Beyond Websites
- Information architecture (IA) is the practice of organizing information using controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, and ontologies.
- IA improves findability and discovery, extending beyond website design to encompass backend systems and diverse fields.
IA and AI
- Chatbots and large language models (LLMs) require IA to function effectively.
- They need a map of an organization's unique information structure to understand and classify inputs.
LLM-Generated Taxonomies
- Some try to derive IA from LLMs like ChatGPT, but this often replicates existing structures.
- LLMs lack validation mechanisms for IA components, leading to inconsistencies and mirroring training data biases.
