Abstract
The aim of this research is the improvement of the knowledge management process for long-lasting product development projects, which repeat themselves in cycles of 3-5 years. To find and propose appropriate ways of "navigated" (suggested) knowledge capturing that would take as less designer's time as possible, this research tries to answer following questions: What kind of design information structures should be captured?, How to organize, structure and index captured information? The main advantage of proposed approach is the usage of the same relational database structure and interfaces both for process of experimental analysis used to develop knowledge indexing taxonomy and for process of future eventual practical usage.
Keywords: knowledge indexing, knowledge requests, design knowledge management
