TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've heard it used in a number of different contexts, but know that the
process "information mapping" was actually created by an individual and is
apparently being sold to and used by a number of different companies. Check

I really just seems to be common sense and another way of packaging the
organization of a document, web page, etc.
