Recommendations (6)

R457 Policy & Standards Process & Organization Priority: High

Establish continuous digital-preservation workflows for online content, including cataloguing, migration, and software updating, so that archived information remains accessible rather than merely stored.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Medium → Long
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: Medium-High

R458 Artifact, System & Service Design Methodological Priority: High

Develop digital archives as progressively more visual systems by consolidating and applying a flexible visual lexicon derived from information-visualization structures.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Medium → Long
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: Medium-High

R459 Process & Organization Artifact, System & Service Design Priority: Medium-High

Maintain stable navigation and interface conventions in visual archives so users can build familiarity over time and face a lower learning curve when exploring archived content.

Scope:: Meso
Time Horizon:: Short → Medium
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: High

R460 Artifact, System & Service Design Evaluation, Monitoring & Impact Priority: High

Extend the P3 laboratory archive project into a longer-duration, fully functional model, so that the proposed visual archive can be tested beyond exploratory prototype conditions.

Scope:: Meso
Time Horizon:: Medium
Evidence Strength:: Exploratory
Feasibility:: Medium

R461 Artifact, System & Service Design Theoretical & Conceptual Priority: Medium

Create cross-linked visual archives for design history - connecting authors, themes, dates, and places - so that relationships in design’s intangible heritage become visible and searchable.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Medium → Long
Evidence Strength:: Exploratory
Feasibility:: Medium

R462 Methodological Theoretical & Conceptual Priority: Medium

Advance research at the intersection of big data, thick data, and multifaceted dashboard-like interfaces to support richer visual archives and evolving forms of interpretation.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Long
Evidence Strength:: Exploratory
Feasibility:: Medium
