Constructing Knowledge Classification Scheme in Industrial Technology via Domain Analysis: An Empirical Study

Abstract

This study combined three approaches of domain analysis such as special classifications, terminological studies, and bibliometrics to construct specialized technological knowledge classification scheme of fishery industry. It also integrated specialized terminologies of industrial technology to do information retrieval. The study requested domain experts to extract technical knowledge according to a knowledge analysis process. Then, with bibliometrics that analyzes global technological development trends of Grouper and Cobia. Follow by analysis from classification scheme to present knowledge gap of the domain. The outcome fulfilled the planned study purpose and the cross-domain team cooperation process and study results were agreed by project sponsors and domain experts. The study submitted following suggestions for further studies, in combined approaches of domain analysis. They are 1) Researchers utilized industrial technological knowledge classification scheme to assist fishery industry domain experts to clarify domain knowledge scope; 2) The combined approaches will be helpful to depict knowledge development and key technology of fishery industry in Taiwan; 3) The applied methods of combined and cross-domain approaches of domain analysis will be valuable for researchers in library and information studies.
