ABSTRACT:
A system for knowledge representation in a computer has the ability to automatically transform information in the knowledge representation into a multitude of documents or other human interpretable displays in a plurality of different formats or views. User interaction with the knowledge representation through the view documents is achievable through a multitude of various possible formats. The Knowledge Representation system defines a novel database engine constituting a method for modeling knowledge as a network of concepts and a plurality of relationships between the concepts comprising the network. Each concept is represented as a record in the database which is identified by a unique record reference number. The unique record reference numbers are stored within the records comprising the database to record the plurality of relationships between concepts. System concept records are created which define system concepts as particular relational characteristics between two records in the database. A system concept index is provided so as to designate the records which define system concepts and which can be used as relationship data structures within other records.
