Information Design definition

What is information Design? 
It has very wide sense I assume.

“Information design is the integrator that brings other disciplines together to create excellent information solutions (Knemeyer.D, 2003*).”
"information design is the defining, planning, and shaping of the contents of a message and the environments in which it is presented, with the intention to satisfy the information needs of the intended recipients (IIID, 2000**)”


Since information technology developed dramatically, the amount of information considerably increased. These days, it is not too much to say that having good information is biggest advantage.
However, quality of information got worse, because everyone can send message to the world thank to internet and computer. Hence, consumer need to judge the information, as well as information provider has to be careful to send a message to be received as what they are supposed to mean.
So I think Information design is to sort out and arrange the information for both sender and receiver's sake.
