Utilization of Tags in a Knowledge Bank
(2014) MAMM01 20141Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology
- Abstract
- In this age of information, a person is accustomed to on demand and within seconds retrieve all thinkable information between heaven and earth with the help of a technical device. It’s therefore important that information is stored and presented in such way that a person can embrace it with ease. The IT company Nilex, where this research took place, provides such a storage in the form of a knowledge bank. The premise for this thesis is to investigate how information from a knowledge bank can be displayed and found with the principles of interaction design. A centralized focus of the research was if tagging functionality could be a positive effect for this purpose.

The premise for this thesis is to investigate how information from a knowledge bank can be displayed and found with the principles of interaction design. A centralized focus of the research was if tagging functionality could be a positive effect for this purpose.
This thesis describes the problem identification phase followed by the solution design phase which also includes testing of these proposals. The conclusions drawn from the discussion of each method were essential to move the project forward. The testing was performed in two phases, first without tagging functionality and after with, to try to answer if the hypotheses surrounding tags could be answered. No tests or implementations to a real software were done during the research but conclusion from the tests on the design proposals indicates that tags may have a positive effect which makes it applicated to a real environment.
