Description:
User Experience design is often thought of as distinct or different from taxonomy design. What are good IA practices and how do they influence taxonomy design? In this session you'll hear from three experienced IA's who will share specific examples from their organizations and consulting projects that will illustrate principles that you can apply in your taxonomy projects.
- taxonomy and user experience design strategy, process and tools
- a user experience design effort that combines information architecture and taxonomy approaches for a major financial services client
- specific experiences applying IA with Compaq and HP and "business taxonomies" - taxonomies that live within strict business limitations
