The Speed of Information Architecture
From Peter Morville, based on a speech he gave at ASIS Summit 2000. His points about layers of Information Architecture are little golden nuggets, and he references the oft-cited wine.com for pointing out how faceted classification can and will be used to navigate through taxonomies. I especially like the analogy of layers of information architecture to layers in society in relation to how fast each layer changes - “slow layers provide stability, fast layers drive innovation”.
