Tavanti, Monica and Rankin, Ivan (2010): Memory fragments of the industrial landscape. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 175-182.

“Motivation -- To enhance the awareness of places of a city industrial heritage by exposing in situ its identities and stories through the personal memories of its inhabitants. Research approach -- Analysis followed by an explorative survey based on interviews in which museum visitors are asked to discuss their impressions about an exhibition in which personal memories are reminisced. Findings/Design -- Personal narrative seems to trigger criticism, curiosity, and engage visitors in actively discussing and critically questioning views on places and their past. Based on these findings we propose concepts for possible designs. Research limitations/Implications -- The survey was based on a limited number of participants and entails a single narrative. Originality/Value -- This work contributes to research and debate on interpretation and representation of material and cultural heritage, with particular focus on industrial landscapes and modern vestiges left over by the industry of the 19th century. Take away message -- To tell what we remember, and to keep on telling it, is to keep the past alive in the present (Gruchow, 1995).”

Waern, Yvonne, Hagglund, Sture, Lowgren, Jonas, Rankin, Ivan, Sokolnicki, Tomas and Steinemann, Anne (1992): Communication Knowledge for Knowledge Communication. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 37 (2) pp. 215-239.

“Knowledge systems can be regarded as agents communicating between domain experts and end users. We emphasize the concept of "communication knowledge", distinct from the domain knowledge. Three aspects of communication knowledge are identified and research related to them presented. These are domain-related knowledge, discourse knowledge and mediating knowledge. This frame of reference is applied in the contexts of knowledge acquisition, user interface management in knowledge systems, text generation in expert critiquing systems and tutoring systems. We discuss the implications of the proposed framework in terms of implemented systems and finally suggest a future research agenda emanating from the analyses.”
