“…Among them, pavement, street furniture and buildings were broken down into various attributes with different impact on the visual quality of the urban environment (Cullen, 1995). Four attributes basic to the design process (Johnson, 1992;Wong, 1993) were selected: pattern, color, style and texture. The three visual elements times four attributes generated twelve items.…”

“…The semantic relationships are the associations that exist between the meanings of words and are applied in many design activities, such as analogy and metaphor methods ( Goel 1997 ; Johnson 1992 ). For design creativity, Sarica et al ( 2019 ) built a large-scale comprehensive semantic network of technology-related data for engineering knowledge discovery (TechNet).…”

Data-driven design is a process to reuse data sources and provide valuable information to provoke creative ideas in the stages of design. However, existing semantic networks for design creativity are built on data sources restricted to technological and scientific information. Existing studies build the edges of a semantic network on statistical or semantic relationships, which are less likely to make full use of the benefits from both types of relationships and discover implicit knowledge for design creativity. Therefore, to overcome the gaps, we constructed WikiLink, a semantic network based on Wikipedia, which is an integrated source of general knowledge and specific knowledge, with broad coverage of disciplines. The weight in WikiLink fuses both the statistic and semantic weights between concepts instead of simply one type of weight, and four algorithms are developed for inspiring new ideas. Evaluation experiments are undertaken, and the results show that the network is characterised by high coverage of terms, relationships and disciplines, which demonstrates and supports the network’s effectiveness and usefulness. A demonstration and case study results indicate that WikiLink can serve as an idea generation tool for creativity in conceptual design. The source code of WikiLink and the backend data are provided open-source for more users to explore and develop.
