A collaborative tagging system design framework for supporting affective design

Affective or kansei design engineering is a design approach that can help designers to produce emotionally pleasing products. One of the research challenge of this approach lies in understanding customers' affective needs and how to associate such needs with product design features. Previously, we have proposed a collaborative tagging methodology towards understanding associations between affective needs and product design features through analyzing product reviews. In this paper, we proposed a framework for collaborative tagging system design as an extension of our previous work and actual web-based implementation of our approach. We showcase the design of our web-based system which includes client interface layer, web application layer and back-end application processing layer with detailed elaboration on essential system components and modules. Some potential benefits of implementing such a collaborative platform are also briefly discussed.
