An Integrated Model for User Innovation Knowledge Based on Super-network (1905.09923v1)

Abstract: Online user innovation communities are becoming a promising source of user innovation knowledge and creative users. With the purpose of identifying valuable innovation knowledge and users, this study constructs an integrated super-network model, i.e., User Innovation Knowledge Super-Network (UIKSN), to integrate fragmented knowledge, knowledge fields, users and posts in an online community knowledge system. Based on the UIKSN, the core innovation knowledge, core innovation knowledge fields, core creative users, and the knowledge structure of individual users were identified specifically. The findings help capture the innovation trends of products, popular innovations and creative users, and makes contributions on mining, and integrating and analyzing innovation knowledge in community based innovation theory.
