“…Yet there remains no consensus on how best to support a designer's knowledge activities and significant challenges to establishing regular design reuse remain (Busby, 1999;Ball, Lambell, Ormerod, Slavin, & Mariani, 2001). Furthermore there has been little research reporting on the interaction of designers with these systems and importantly the resulting company-wide impact of Knowledge Management activities (Jennex, 2008;Kim, 2006).…”

“…Ball, Lambell, Ormerod, Slavin, & Mariani (2001) proposed that design rationale can provide insights into how best to represent and retrieve design knowledge in order to support innovative design reuse. They developed a design reuse system, Desperado II, to elicit and retrieve design rationale.…”

“…PDM systems sometimes include versioning functionality (Harder et al 2000) and are increasingly web-based (Liu and Xu 2001 Finally, many related research efforts recognize the value of informal design evolution content in understanding design rationale and effectively reusing previously designed artefacts (Carroll et al 1994, Malmqvist 1995, Ball et al 2001). …”

Citation: DEMIAN, P. and FRUCHTER, R., 2009 AbstractImproving and supporting the process of design knowledge reuse can increase productivity, improve the quality of designs and lead to corporate competitive advantage. Whereas internal knowledge reuse (reusing knowledge from one's personal memory or experiences) is very effective, external knowledge reuse (reusing knowledge from an external digital or paper archive) often fails. This paper studies the value of the storytelling paradigm in supporting reuse from an external repository. Based on a formalisation of the internal reuse process from ethnographic studies, a prototype system, CoMem (Corporate Memory) is presented, which supports the reuse process, specifically the steps of finding and understanding reusable items. This paper focuses on the ability of designers to understand designs that are found in corporate repositories. It is argued that in order to understand and reuse a found design, the designer needs to see the evolution of that design during the original design process. An Evolution History Explorer module of the CoMem system is presented that uses a storytelling metaphor and lays out versions visually side-by-side. A formal user evaluation of CoMem supports the hypotheses that (1) exploring the evolution of a design improves the reuse process, and (2) that visual storytelling is an effective paradigm for supporting that exploration.
