Concept Forge Process

A Concept Forge Process is a collaborative concept extraction process that systematically identifies, defines, and encodes key concepts during live intellectual discussions into structured knowledge representations.

• AKA: Live Concept Extraction Process, Real-Time Ontology Building Process, Synchronous Concept Mining Process, Concept Workshop Process.
• Context:
  • It can typically extract Domain Concepts through structured discussions with domain experts in real-time sessions.
  • It can typically produce Concept Definitions with semantic relationships within session timeframes.
  • It can typically generate Concept Hierarchys through collaborative categorizations with participant consensus.
  • It can often create Concept Relation Maps through relationship identifications during discussion flows.
  • It can often output Knowledge Base Entrys through systematic encodings into formal representations.
  • It can utilize Whiteboard Captures through visual mappings of concept networks.
  • It can employ Role Assignments through dedicated documentarians for capture accuracy.
  • It can range from being a Simple Term Listing to being a Full Ontology Construction, depending on its extraction depth.
  • It can range from being a Ad-Hoc Capture Process to being a Systematic Documentation Process, depending on its formalization level.
  • It can range from being a Single-Person Extraction to being a Group Synthesis Process, depending on its participation mode.
  • It can range from being a Paper-Based Recording to being a Digital Knowledge Base Entry, depending on its capture medium.
  • It can integrate with Knowledge Base Systems for permanent storage.
  • It can support Ontology Development Tasks through incremental construction.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Salon-Based Concept Forges, such as:
    • Belvedere Salon Concept Forge for beauty-intelligence concepts.
    • Academic Workshop Concept Forge for research domain concepts.
    • Philosophy Seminar Concept Forge for philosophical distinctions.
  • Corporate Concept Forges, such as:
    • Strategy Session Concept Extraction for business model concepts.
    • Product Design Concept Mining for feature taxonomy.
    • Innovation Workshop Concept Forge for opportunity mapping.
  • Educational Concept Forges, such as:
    • Curriculum Development Concept Mapping for learning objectives.
    • Textbook Writing Concept Extraction for knowledge structures.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Post-Hoc Concept Analysis, which lacks real-time extraction.
  • Automated Concept Mining, which lacks human collaborative elements.
  • Unstructured Brainstorming, which lacks systematic encoding.
