Collaborative Interpretative Service Assisted Design System Based on Hierarchical Case Based Approach

Museum is the important learning environment, which assists learners to learn directly from objects and living, and its interpretative services play an important role in museums to help learners learn more about the exhibitions. However, the development of intelligent interpretative services is costly, time consuming, and needs many kinds of domain knowledge. How to provide a platform to help experts of different domain work collaboratively to reduce the construction cost of designing an intelligent interpretative service for new requirements is an important issue. Thus, we propose a Collaborative interpretative service assisted design system (CISAD), containing requirement integration process to assist designers to collaboratively determine the requirements of the new service, and intelligent query processor to reuse previous successful application from coarse-grained to fine-grained to improve the reliability and reduce the construction cost of the solution application. Finally, we show an example to describe the construction process of an interpretative service for elder people by CISAD.
