ABSTRACT:
A computer system and method of presenting information from a body of knowledge to a user utilize a three-dimensional model to facilitate user comprehension and management of both the specific information in the body of knowledge, as well as the contextual relationship of the information within the body of knowledge as a whole. An abstraction stack is utilized to concurrently display information elements associated with different levels of abstraction for a body of knowledge, with the information elements visually linked with one another in a three dimensional workspace to represent the hierarchical arrangement of the information elements within the scope of the overall body of knowledge. In addition, a computer system and method of authoring a body of knowledge permit a user to input information with the contextual relationship of the information within the overall body of knowledge established in an intuitive and efficient manner. An authoring tool facilitates the creation of a body of knowledge by an author by organizing information into one or more information elements associated with various levels of abstraction. Users are concurrently presented with a plurality of user input elements configured to receive input from a user, with each user input element associated with a particular level of abstraction. Once information is received into a particular user input element, an information element is stored in a computer system and associated with the level of abstraction for the user input element.
