Accessing implicit knowledge of textiles and design - a smart, living archive for a heritage industry.

获取纺织品和设计的隐性知识——遗产产业的智能、活的档案（Williams等人）摘要数字技术提供了使“丢失的知识”（如设计人工制品、纺织品和其他物品）可用的机会，这些知识可能在全国不同的地方未被利用。本研究旨在评估智能生活档案的可行性和潜在影响，以支持不同纺织设计界的知识获取和共享。目的:1。开发一种基于自组织数字档案的创新数字方法的小规模演示，以创建和访问纺织品设计知识。2 .使用演示器作为理解和改进所需流程的工具，使提供者和用户能够为不断发展的动态数字收藏做出贡献；探索这样一个系统的潜力，为学术和商业设计师、从业者和学术研究人员以及更广泛的社区提供更灵活、互动和协作的参与，满足各种搜索方法的需求，包括非正式的和结构化的。4 .确定该系统的潜在效益，以满足实践中的一系列研究需要（例如设计师、文物机构、趋势分析人士）和学术学科（例如艺术与设计、文化史等）了解数字资源对设计师和制造商的潜在影响和价值，因为他们拥有与纺织品设计和生产相关的未开发知识。该项目解决了与纺织设计领域的知识翻译主题相关的问题。研究还包括共同创造、合作、包容性、真实性、传承、排他性、跨学科以及纺织品特定的物质文化等普遍问题。该项目旨在开发一个智能的、有生命的纺织品档案馆，该档案馆将：-整理从合作伙伴Johnstons of Elgin的当代和历史收藏品中选择的各种知识对象（例如设计，人工制品，叙述）；-使社区以用户的身份为档案作出贡献：建议的示范人员将利用数据挖掘工具来学习标签和组织设计，以实现一个基于用户反应和标准不断发展的活档案，建立和完善知识对象之间的联系。-透过设有智能查册和浏览设施的入门网站，提供一系列的查册方法，并采用创新的方法来标记知识对象，以改善检索、提供建议和建议，并迎合更有条理的查询。虽然目前确实存在一些纺织品档案馆，可以提供对一系列收藏品的访问，但它们不能为本文提出的更广泛的基于知识的流程提供支持。通过开发一个智能的、有生命的纺织品档案的示范，拟议的小规模研究将为解决与使用数字技术相关的问题提供基础，以满足更广泛的艺术和人文学科研究中认识到的关键需求。该研究还将为发展对更广泛的基于知识的过程的理解奠定基础：这是一个未被充分研究的领域，尚未被认为是英国纺织工业，并且一直专注于商业和组织背景，而不是对更广泛的纺织社区共享知识发展中固有的过程的更广泛理解。

Accessing implicit knowledge of textiles and design - a smart, living archive for a heritage industry (Williams et al)SummaryDigital technologies provide opportunities to make available 'lost knowledge' (such as design artefacts, textiles and other objects) which may lie unutilized in disparate locations across the country. This research aims to assess the feasibility and potential impact of a smart, living archive to support knowledge access and sharing within the diverse textile design community. Objectives:1. to develop a small-scale demonstrator of an innovative digital approach to creating and accessing textile design knowledge, based on a self-organising digital archive 2. to use the demonstrator as a vehicle for understanding and refining the processes required to enable providers and users to contribute to an evolving living digital collection;3. to probe the potential of such a system to provide more flexible, interactive and collaborative engagement by and between academic and commercial designers, practitioner and academic researchers, as well as the wider community, catering for a range of search approaches, informal as well as structured4. to identify the potential benefits of such a system to meet a range of research needs in practice (e.g. designers, heritage organisations, trend analysts) and academic disciplines (e.g. art and design, cultural history, etc)5. to develop understanding of the potential impact and value of the digital resource for designers and manufacturers as holders of untapped knowledge related to textile design and production.The project addresses issues related to the Translating Knowledge theme within the field of textile design. The research also encompasses universal issues such as co-creation, collaboration, inclusivity, authenticity, heritage, exclusivity, interdisciplinarity as well as the specific material culture of textiles. This project aims to develop a demonstrator of a smart, living textile archive which would:- collate a varied range of knowledge objects (e.g. designs, artefacts, narratives), selected from the contemporary and historical collections of the partner company, Johnstons of Elgin;- enable the community to contribute to the archive as users: the proposed demonstrator would utilise data-mining tools to learn tags and organize the designs to enable a living archive which would continuously evolve based on user responses and criteria, making and refining connections between knowledge objects. - offer a range of search approaches via a portal with smart search and browsing facilities, incorporating innovative approaches to tagging knowledge objects which will improve retrieval, offer suggestions and recommendations, and cater for more structured enquiry. Although a number of textile archives do currently exist which offer access to a range of collections, they do not offer the level of support for wider knowledge-based processes being proposed here .By developing a demonstrator of a smart, living textile archive the proposed small-scale study would offer a foundation to address questions related to the use of digital technologies to meet key needs recognized by previous research in the arts and humanities more broadly. The study would also lay a foundation for developing understanding of the wider knowledge-based processes: an under-researched area which has not been considered the UK textile industry and has been focused within a business and organizational context rather than a wider understanding of the processes inherent in the shared development of knowledge across the wider textile community.
