Tagging for Intelligent Processing of Design Information

This paper describes how to add tags to extract knowledge from information for intelligent design support. Our project called Universal Abduction Studio (UAS) aims to build a new design support system that supports conceptual design by dynamically integrating various superficially irrelevant knowledge in different design domains. This paper focuses on knowledge description form which can be used to capture knowledge from textbased information and then be used for inference for creative design. We propose so-called design knowledge document in which both human-readable texts and machine-readable knowledge such as propositions and rules.
