According to the above URL,

DIKW> Information... information is data that has been given meaning
DIKW> by way of relational connection. This "meaning" can be useful,
DIKW> but does not have to be. In computer parlance, a relational
DIKW> database makes for information from the data stored within it.

So, the architecture of a relational database is what you would call
an Information Architecture?
