As an architect you are designing (information) systems for human use. For this system to be build an architect defines rules and constraints. As an architect I seek inspiration from existing software, reading books, discussions with peers, etc. And of course the internet is constant source of inspiration. I am especially interested in the influences of internet concepts and ideas on "traditional" enterprise and government IT architectures.

Some of my sources of inspiration are:

• The ReST architectural style. I believe ReST-like systems will have a profound influence in future enterprise and government IT architectures. The reasons being that ReST-like information systems:

• are simple and easy to understand for users (and developers)
  
• promote serendipitous reuse
• are inherently designed for connectedness
• are focused on resources/information instead of services

• Christopher Alexander and the concepts of patterns and sequences. And I am especially interested in the concept of how an architecture will unfold itself given a set of rules and constraints.
  
  
• Language. I am very much interested in the role of language in an information architecture.
  
  
• Context Orientation. The role of context in an information architecture is very interesting. But, I have not found any good books or websites on this theme.
  

So this is my question: do you know any interesting books or websites about information architecture? Please let me know in the comments below.
