Development of a topic-oriented document model based on Systems Thinking: An application example for inventive theory TRIZ

Abstract

As the internet network develops, the progress of technology has promoted the growth of large amount of information volume. How to find and access the information effectively is most important for user, especially for those companies based on skill-oriented. Enabling reuse of creative knowledge in engineering domain becomes our driving force to develop the topic-oriented document model. This paper is based on concepts of Systems Thinking to analyze the relationships among diverse technical documents founded in knowledge organizations. A topic-oriented model is presented to show up the interaction process between interrelated topics. Further, as for applied example of TRIZ matrix, it says some benefits from Topic Maps-based applications in engineering knowledge management domain.
