A Conceptual Model of Technology Elements and Their Associations for the Characterization and Description of Technological Innovation Processes
[Purpose/Significance]This paper constructs a conceptual model of technological elements and their associations to solve the problem of effective characterization and description of the technological innova-tion process,and lays the foundation for detecting the technological innovation process and law and predicting the future development trend through text mining.[Method/Process]Firstly,it explained the concepts of techno-logical innovation and technological innovation elements,and then based on the analysis of technological inno-vation mechanism under the technological paradigm and technological track mode,it summarized technological innovation elements and their associations.Then,it focused on the elements directly related to the technology itself,and designed a conceptual model of technological elements and their associations.Finally,it carried out a case study of its application in technological innovation paths.[Result/Conclusion]The conceptual model pro-posed in this study includes four types of technological elements,two types of elemental attributes and six types of elemental association relationships,which supports to analyze the dynamic changes of technological elements and their associations over time,cross-field interactions,and so on,to reveal the technological innovation process at the micro level.In particular,it can support the revelation of the process of technological innovation in frontier interdisciplinary fields,laying the foundation for the discovery of technological convergence opportunities.
