About the navigation on Web sites

While developing my website about web design I gave navigation a lot of thinking. So there is what i wrote down for myself.

Under information architecture is understood as follows:

Information architecture deals with the principles of organizing information and navigating through it to help people more successfully find and treat them with necessary information.

Wikipedia gives the following definition:

Information architecture (often abbreviated as "IA") - a set of methods and techniques of structuring information (knowledge or data). Most often, the term "information architecture" (the IA) is applied vebrazrabotke, but sometimes it can be applied, for example, in the context of programming.

But even these definitions are not final. In the book Information Architecture for the World Wide Web the first chapter is devoted entirely to the problem of the definition of IA.

By the definition of navigation, information architecture on the site and all blurry.

Wikipedia gives only the definition of the concept of navigation, there is a link to an article called navigation information, but the article does not exist yet.

By navigation we mean the following:

Navigation (Latin navigatio, from lat. Navigo - sailing vessel):
1. Sailing, navigation
2. The period of the year, when the local climatic conditions may shipping
3. The main section of navigation, which developed the theoretical foundations and practical techniques of driving the courts

There is a definition of information navigation - the process of driving the user to logically related data, but interpretation of the concept of no.

After wandering on the resources and digging in the books, I found some materials on the topic of navigation on the site.

Here, so far found

There is a built-in navigation on the site, it is of three types

- Global navigation
- Local navigation
- Contextual navigation

Global navigation - will always help to answer the question "Where am I?".

Local Navigation - prompt "What is still around?".

Contextual navigation - will find "What else can you find with the information on the page?".

This article provides the following classification

Types of site navigation
