摘要：Have you ever wondered how long it takes for a field of practitioners to produce the understanding that enables the flowing rivers of discipline – long enough for academic enlightenment? How does an industry actually achieve the longevity and relevancy seen in science and law; in dentistry and medicine; in masonry or carpentry? Even music and the theatrical and fine arts possess histories of understanding that have been taught and passed on throughout generations. All of these examples are well known institutions of discipline that are centuries in the making – if not longer. But, for the field of information architecture for the web – one that was given a name only 10 years ago and has only been probing for less than 20 years – the expectation to render a discipline is upon it.
