data: bits, bytes, numbers, words, etc.
information: data processed into meaningful form.
knowledge: information made actionable, for current and future problem-solving and decision-making.
these building blocks of our information age increasingly require effective information design, which includes:
organization: effective arrangements of data and information that you need to solve problems and make decisions.
navigation: how you know which data, information, and knowledge are most useful to you, your Web site users, and anyone else whom you're concerned about.
complexity reduction: presenting large quantities of information or concepts in easily manageable and understandable "chunks," which facilitates good problem-solving and decision-making.
however, information design has yet another context:
content: on the web, providing useful content is critical.
users: users' reactions make or break Web sites, and are Web sites' raison d'etre.
technology: supports users' experiences of gathering data and information and acquiring knowledge from a Web site.
