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含知识--遗产行业的智能、活生生的档案(Williams等人)摘要数字技术提供了机会，使可能在全国各地不同地点未被利用的“丢失的知识”(如设计文物、纺织品和其他物品)可用。这项研究旨在评估智能、活生生的档案的可行性和潜在影响，以支持不同纺织设计社区内的知识获取和共享。目标：1.在自行组织的数字档案馆的基础上，开发一种创造和获取纺织品设计知识的创新数字方法的小规模示范者；2.利用该示范者作为一种媒介，了解和完善使供应商和用户能够为不断发展的生活数字收藏作出贡献所需的过程；3.探索这种系统的潜力，使学术和商业设计者、从业者和学术研究人员以及更广泛的社区之间以及学术和商业设计者、从业者和学术研究人员以及更广泛的社区之间更灵活、更互动和更协作地参与，满足各种非正式和结构化的搜索方法4。确定此系统的潜在益处，以满足实践中的各种研究需要(例如设计师、遗产组织、趋势分析家)和学术学科(例如艺术与设计、文化史等)5.加深对数码资源的潜在影响和价值的了解，让设计师和制造商了解数码资源的潜在影响和价值，使他们成为与纺织品设计和生产有关的未开发知识的持有者。项目涉及纺织设计领域内与翻译知识主题有关的问题。这项研究还涵盖了共同创作、合作、包容性、真实性、传承性、排他性、跨学科以及特定的纺织品物质文化等普遍问题。该项目旨在开发一个智能的、活生生的纺织品档案的演示程序，它将：-整理从合作伙伴公司Elgin的Johnstons的当代和历史收藏中挑选的各种知识对象(例如设计、文物、叙述)；-使社区能够作为用户为档案做出贡献：拟议的演示程序将利用数据挖掘工具学习标签并组织设计，以实现基于用户反应和标准不断发展的生活档案，建立和完善知识对象之间的联系。-通过具有智能搜索和浏览设施的门户提供一系列搜索方法，纳入标记知识对象的创新方法，这将改善检索，提供建议和建议，并满足更有结构的查询。虽然目前确实有一些纺织档案提供了获取一系列藏品的机会，但它们并没有为这里提出的更广泛的基于知识的过程提供支持。通过开发一个智能的、活的纺织品档案的演示，拟议的小规模研究将提供一个基础，以解决与使用数字技术来满足更广泛的艺术和人文领域先前研究所认识到的关键需求有关的问题。这项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：这是一个研究不足的领域，没有被视为英国纺织业，而且一直侧重于商业和组织背景，而不是更广泛地了解更广泛的纺织界共享知识发展所固有的过程。

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.
