As concurrent design has changed the landscape of design project management, knowledge management method is introduced in this field to enhance learning in an organization. However, new challenges arise for knowledge management in concurrent design projects: knowledge has changed from domain expert knowledge to organizational cooperative knowledge; simple knowledge conceptualization is not sufficient to represent interactions between concepts. Therefore, aims for these challenges, a new cooperative knowledge discovery method based on semantic networks by classification on concept interactions is proposed.
