A framework to describe biological entities for bioinspiration
Designers need knowledge about biological entities for inspiration and solving problems. Most designers face difficulties in extracting knowledge about biological information. A well compiled and developed knowledge representation of biological entity can help designers and organizations to understand complex biological entity and develop concepts based on that knowledge. At present, such knowledge frameworks are unavailable. For filling this gap, a 6W framework has been developed based on the hierarchical top-down approach. This standard framework has been proposed for capturing and representing information about natural entities. This framework extracts information using formal 6W questions about function, form, behavior, structure, location and nature’s intent hierarchy part wise for the natural entity. A case example (Lotus leaf) has been modeled and demonstrated using 6W framework. It has been concluded that 6W framework can capture knowledge and provide bioinspiration. A comparative SBF model has been discussed to understand the capabilities and limitations of the 6W framework.
