Abstract

Knowledge sharing is presumed to be better facilitated through knowledge gardening metaphor. Nonetheless, there is a research gap in the metaphor application, where there is yet a formal elicitation undertaken towards it. This paper intends to answer three questions: How does knowledge gardening metaphor supports knowledge sharing within a user interface? What properties should the overall user interface have to support user-oriented environment? How can the knowledge gardening metaphor be elicited? Henceforth, a description on the user interface design incorporating knowledge gardening metaphor is discussed. Steps undertaken in a metaphor elicitation are also provided.
