Abstract :
DRCS, a design rationale capture system that provides an integrated and generic framework for capturing rationale in team contexts, is discussed. Its underlying rationale language is based both on previous work in decision-rationale capture and on a generic model of design reasoning. The language is designed to capture all important aspects of design decisions and their interrelationships in a natural way. DRCS itself explores how to enhance design systems so that they will support collaborative editing of designs and their rationale.<>
