Information architecture best practices and principles remain consistent but their focus must accommodate the needs of a business service and business capability orientation.  In particular, in order to share information across Government, information architecture must address the higher standards needed in terms of the awareness of the information handling needs of each piece of data – its source, quality, and associated policy obligations. <u>The collection, use and management of personal information requires adherence to the principles and requirements of GC privacy legislation and its related policies.</u>
