Vocabularies include Thesauruses, Taxonomies, Authority Files and Glossaries. All vocabularies can be maintained in any number of languages. Vocabularies are easily integrated with any other IGP product through the powerful templating system or common forms methods. The integration API also makes it possible to integrate IA2 with authorized third party applications. However IA2 is a component part of all IGP:ECMS Solutions deployments and is not available as a stand-alone solution at this time.

IGP:Information Architect 2 also has the localization service for all IGP:InfoViewer 2 sites and portals.
