[Wsuug] Information Architecture was:controlled vocabulary

[Andrew Jaswa]

One of the things that people tend to not realize about IA is the
non-UI side of things. IA's is also involved with data structures,
database and code organization and also lots of other little things
here and there. Really anything to do with how information/data is
organized. As far as resources go, I haven't looked too hard for
anything lately. I'll have to dig around tomorrow and see if I can
find anything useful.
