interesting article on conflation of terms across creative and technical disciplines. i think the best way to avoid it is to not use an ambiguous words like architecture/design alone. visual design, user experience design, information architecture, system design, systems architecture all come in handy.

heh, i remember back in 1995 when i was quite a bit of internet based research for a nanotechnology research paper, which was not very common. I remember having to track down the MLA standards on citing web sources, using the examples they had for SIRS and gopher servers. now it seems that internet research has all but taken over.
