Abstract

In this paper, we describe the motivation, development, features, and evaluation of the Goal-Oriented Design Knowledge Library (GO-DKL) framework. This framework encompasses a model and method for extracting, codifying and storing in a database, relational excerpts of design knowledge from scholarly publications. We also outline a method for analyzing such a knowledge base, which is intended to support information system designers to retrieve, contextualize and evaluate knowledge base contents in relation to their own unique projects. Such a system may help designers build on each others' ideas and support an emerging community of practice. The framework was evaluated by six information system design practitioners during semi-structured interviews. For this project, we codified design knowledge published in academic studies of online deliberation systems.
