資訊技術發展的迅速,促使政府積極推動數位典藏計畫,將有特色文物進行數位化,典藏內容包含藝術、人文、社會、自然等豐富內容。由於數位典藏擁有許多寶貴資料,許多設計者透過數位典藏檢索系統進行創意發想與文化加值服務。目前數位典藏檢索系統多以文字圖表呈現給使用者,較難達到輔助設計者進行創意聯想的需求,使用者較難透過檢索系統從龐大資料中理解檢索結果之關聯性,進而激發創意與文化加值。因此如何藉由數位典藏檢索系統以視覺化方式呈現,輔助設計者檢索結果之關聯性已成為重要課題。 有鑑於此,本研究以創意方法中視覺化導向的心智圖法為概念,以放射性思考的優點為基礎,根據視覺化設計原則,透過網路視覺化呈現數位典藏檢索內容。現有心智圖工具缺乏知識推導功能,為了幫助設計者快速的由檢索文物推導聯想,與達到心智圖創意發想的特色。本研究設計關聯推導模組,提供使用者檢索文物關鍵詞,推導出相互關聯的文物,將龐大資料過濾後經由網路視覺化呈現,輔助設計者檢索瀏覽。 根據本研究評估,使用者操作本研究系統繪製心智圖,能夠提供多元角度思考,輔助創意聯想與激發靈感,並給予友善直覺的系統操作經驗。經由訪談得知,使用者缺乏有效的創意聯想工具輔助指導新進工作者,本系統則可做為創意聯想工具之一。
Digital archives are collected valuable digital information of physical archives related to arts, humanity, social or natural domains. The creation and value-added services from many designers are often originated from these digital archives. However, current search results from these digital archives are mainly displayed in the form of tables or lists sequentially. It is a hard work for the designer to find the relevance or importance among the retrieved results. The purpose of this research is to develop a network-based information visualization system to display the searched results from digital archives based on the concept of mind map. Current tools for creating mind maps lack the support of knowledge inference. The visual features of mind map are included in the proposed system to aid the designer user for stimulating ideas and creativity. Relational inference models are implemented to provide archival search and browse. After interviewing the users of our prototype mind map tool, it is discovered that our tool can stimulate their creativity and associative thinking with friendly interface. It is also helpful for experienced creative designers to transfer their experience and know-how to new designers.
