document: Information architecture without internal theory : an inductive design process This article suggests that Information Architecture -LRB- IA -RRB- design is primarily an inductive process . Although top-level goals , user attributes and available content are periodically considered , the process involves bottom-up design activities . IA is inductive partly because it lacks internal theory , and partly because it is an activity that supports emergent phenomena -LRB- user experiences -RRB- from basic design components . The nature of IA design is well described by Constructive Induction -LRB- CI -RRB- , a design process that involves locating the best representational framework for the design problem , identifying a solution within that framework and translating it back to the design problem at hand . The future of IA , if it remains inductive or develops a body of theory -LRB- or both -RRB- , is considered
