MTK
Metaphorological Tool Kit
The Metaphorological Tool Kit (MTK) as a research platform provides new views and insights to the problems that different domains and disciplines are facing in their research regarding Open Philosophies for Associative Autopoietic Digital Ecosystems (OPAALS), Small and Medium Size Enterprise (SME) and Digital Ecosystem (DE). Three main directions become visible in this research:
- text analysis (e.g. metaphors, terminological work, methods and tools of natural language processing, corpus linguistics),
- social research of communities (integration of linguistic analysis into qualitative and quantitative research), and
- metaphors in human-computer interfaces: the collaborative research in computer science/engineering domain (e.g. formal representation of information based on linguistic analysis, metaphorical approaches in HCI and visualisation systems).
