I personally found the thesis a lot more interesting than the website. They have a very good chapter about creativity.
P6 - The six creative stages by Linneweh:
- Information
- Pondering
- Speculation
- Maturing
- Insight
- Testing
Barriers: negatively influence the creative process (consciously or unconsciously).
P8. [...] often we reject ideas based on a subconscious reason, rather than conscious reasoning. Because of this they limit our thoughts and prevent us from developing new ideas
P21. [...] five abilities which describe a highly creative person: high problem awareness, widespread knowledge, mental flexibility, critical judgment and strong perseverance (LINNEWEH, 1994, P. 40).
P21. Computer as colleague [...] involves a real partnership, in which humans and computer work hand in hand.
P23. [...] Shneiderman (2005) recommends that future tools support exploratory search and guide users to discover previous and related work.
P23. (about Knowledge Management) DIKW: Data -> Information -> Knowledge -> Wisdom
P47. (about how external content can be integrated):
- Preview
- External Editing
- Internal Editing (complete or partial)
- History
- Search
- Real time Collaboration
- Variable Output (variable input seems also interesting)
- Conversion (e.g from Audio -> Text (transcript))
