She also emphasised on the importance of methodology – which I’m lacking at the moment.
NTS – Methodology
A theoretical-conceptual survey involves performing conceptual modelling to enable identification, understanding, and monitoring of the development of a particular field of knowledge, raising prospects for future work.
The knowledge identification and classification model provides definitions for project development knowledge, attributes and relationships between each other to achieve knowledge management.
The ontology is divided into three parts: process ontology, object ontology and knowledge ontology.
This ontology reveals the development processes taking place, objects and six types of knowledge together, and lay the foundation for the following knowledge sharing and reuse.
Analysis of my Instagram account followers:
Gender is about half half/ Most of my followers are from South East Asia or Asia/ Most of them ages between 18 -34. Most of my followers are from Seoul, Ho chi minh City and London.
This data should be very helpful at the very early stages of my research, but it’s not too late to summarise and this shows my direction of targeting on women in East Asia was a correct move.
However this Instagram data wouldn’t help much at this stage as I have narrowed down my audiences to Chinese Females.
