Abstract

Design rationale (DR) explains why an artifact is designed the way it is, which is well recognized as critical information for designers in design reuse. The existing DR systems largely rely on human effort to capture DR which cannot discover DR from a large amount of archived design documents. Therefore those systems have limited features in helping designers to explore DR information from a holistic view. Our DR system focuses on discovering DR from archived documents (i.e. patent documents) and providing DR search and retrieval based on the proposed ISAL model. In this paper, we report our effort in designing graphical interfaces for our DR search and retrieval system, which provides interactive visualization of holistic view of DRs from a large amount of patents and it enables search & navigation of DR from multiple aspects.
