摘要：The view of the information architect¡¯s challenge as a tsunami of data fails to capture the
full impact of the rapidly rising flood of information. Recognizing stages of growth and
maturity in information domains, information architects can plan for and accommodate
differences in size and complexity by using one of three strategies. A single domain
strategy serves knowledge environments that are discreet and disconnected, operating
independently of others, like sand bags against a rising tide. A multi-domain strategy is a
short-term solution, like the temporary protection of boots. It supports connections
between different constructs in a subject domain by using a single taxonomy or underlying
model. The best long-term solution is a cross-domain strategy that, like a boat, links the
disparate frameworks of unique domains, creating a single, integrated construct.With the
cross-domain model, domains are self sufficient, but they share an information
organization approach and support conceptual relationships between domains. A strategic
approach to information architecture serves domains at each stage of maturity and sets
the stage for future evolution.
