Research on the Extended Product Design Knowledge Classification System within a Distributed Knowledge Resources Environment

Abstract:

Within a distributed knowledge resources environment, the product design activities usually are participated by design entity, resource units and design knowledge resource register center. The appropriate design knowledge classification system is the basis of the product design under this environment. The functional design is an especially important phase for designing the innovational products. In the phase, the main problems are not technical problems but are socio-technical problems. The functional design, most often, requires not only the natural science knowledge, but also social science knowledge. The functional design is completed by many more design experts not only from psychology and other natural science, but also from many social science areas, which increases the difficulty and complexity of product design and design knowledge search within a distributed resources environment. On the basis of analyzing the modern product design, especially the features of functional design, this paper proposes an extended six-dimension design knowledge classification system which mainly extends the discipline, product and application process dimension. Finally, this paper makes brief introduction about the application of this classification system.
