== Information Architecture ==

Information architecture best practices and principles remain consistent, but their focus must accommodate the needs of a business service and business capability orientation.  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. C<u>ollection, use and management of personal information requires adherence to the principles and requirements of GC privacy legislation and its related policies.</u>

Information architecture best practices and principles aim to support the needs of a business service and business capability orientation. To facilitate effective sharing of data and information across Government, information architectures should be designed to reflect a consistent approach to data, such as the adoption of federal and international standards. Information architecture should also reflect responsible data management, information management and governance practices, including the source, quality, interoperability, and associated legal and policy obligations related to the data assets. Information architectures should also distinguish between personal and non-personal data and information. For example, the collection, use, sharing (disclosure), and management of personal information must respect the requirements of the ''Privacy Act'' and its related policies.
