What information architecture means

Information architecture defines the objects, relationships, labels and routes through which people find information and act in a product.

Why it extends beyond navigation

In workflow software, information architecture is shaped by more than menus or page structure. Objects, roles, states and rules determine where information belongs and what can happen next. A sitemap is one expression of the architecture, not the whole discipline.
