Web-based knowledge database construction method for supporting design

ABSTRACT

Recently, designers have been required solving comprehensive problem becoming greater and more complicated. In relation to this background, we have proposed Universal Abduction Studio (UAS); a computer environment that synthetically supports creative design. However, it is difficult for a designer to manually acquire multiple domain knowledge required for UAS. Therefore, we propose a Web-based knowledge database construction method for supporting design by UAS in this paper.
