Peter Merholz is offering his take on defining IA and user experience design.  I need to let it gel a little more.  I tend to agree with Peter in large, but have some different shades as I look at IA a little broader than most.  I look at IA as a step in the development of information applications (this includes Web pages, Intranets, mobile access to information, etc).  The IA helps define the information and set the structure of the information.
