In this view, the goal of designing isto transform a set of requirements and functions into a set of design descriptions (D). Therequirement (R) of a designed object is defined as constraints that come from outside thedesigner, the function (F) of a designed object is defined as its teleology; the behavior (B) of thatobject is either derived from the structure (Bs) or expected (Be) from the structure, wherestructure (S) represents the components of an object and their relationships. This ontology isused to code the recorded utterances of the design experiment participants (Table 1). 1
