Information architecture part 1-5
Grouping those objects into categories, creating the right context for the users
Organizing
Labeling
Structuring
Figure out what to call categories, and the navigation structure.
Structuring
Labeling
Organizing
Find-ability is a critical success-factor for usability.
Researching and gathering quantitative and qualitative data

UX is the process to design something that makes the user to not have to think.
Indiscriminate drift netting
Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, Hierarchy
IA must balance the needs of the user with the goals of the business
There is a bid difference between how an android user and a Mac user navigate. This is why it’s hard for users to change to a different OS
There is only a certain amount of information the user is able to take in at one time and process
The Perfect catch
Information is the bridge that brings them together
Determining the level of granularity in the information and how to relate them to each other.
Organizing

Labeling
What is correct for IA?
Making information findable and understandable
Is invisible
Practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape
Shaping information products and experiences to support usability, find-ability and understanding
The synthesis of organization, labeling, search and navigation systems with digital, physical and cross-channel ecosystems
Data is meant to be taken in and being processed to knowledge

What is correct for context?
Document, datatypes, content objects, volume, existing structures
Business goals, funding, culture, technology, resources constraints
Goals, cultures, mission e.g. Are unique to each organization. Ia must be uniquely matched to all context
There is no clear answer, must be studied in the field
What is correct for content?
They are all people with different information needs, knowledge and behaviors to translate the data.
Document, datatypes, content objects, volume, existing structures
The stuff” that makes your app/website

What factors are the content built of:
Ownership: who creates and owns the content? How much is produced by the users? This is things that affects the level of control on your platform.
Format: the type of the documents. Databases, pdf’s, products, catalogues e.g.
Guides: Links to related subjects
Headings: Labels that describe the content and establish a hierarchy within the content through font size, font color etc.
Contextual links: Hyperlinks to chunks of info. E.g. Related products, articles
Structure: All documents are not created equal, e.g. Manuals vs memos. (different structure for different content)
Metadata: Metadata describes the content and/or the structure of it. To what extent has the metadata been created? Is it tagged manually or automatically? Are you starting from scratch? E.g. tags
Volume: How much content is there?
Dynamism: How much new data will be added and how much will the content grow?
The too simple model:
The Too-simple model is the most common but also the most problematic
It rarely happens this way because most of the time when we search for something we don’t know exactly what we want. Users usually poke around on websites, not sure what to find.
The Perfect catch
Known item seeking
Exploratory seeking
Exhaustive research
Need it again
The right thing”
A few good things”
Everything”

The user is looking for the right answer: ”how many people lives in Stockholm?” *search-click* ”the answer is: 789 024”. The perfect catch is applicable with the too-simple model

The user don’t really know what he is looking for. Searching for useful items and where to learn more. The user is not looking for ”the perfects catch” because he would not know if he had found it or not when seeking it. Searching for good hotels, restaurants
