An example of a website that uses topics is: JR.com , because you can select the department you would like to shop in. An example of a website that is organized by audience and task orientation is: LLBean.com , because at the top you can decide if you want to shop, explore the outdoors, etc. and on the left you can decide (in the shop section) if you want to enter the mens, womens, kids, etc departments. An example of a website that uses a coprorate organizatioanl scheme would be, as Prof. Lawley suggested: RIT - Colleges , because you can browse RIT's different college sites. An example of a website that is organized using a methaphorical scheme is: BBC Brain Map , because you can select different parts of the brain to view and learn about.
