ABSTRACT:
A system and method for storing conceptual information. The system stores concepts as a single object. The object includes all information relating to the concept. Therefore, the object is a self-defining object. A request for any information included in the concept may retrieve the entire object. The object may store the information as a hierarchy. The hierarchy may be navigated in a plurality of directions. The concept may be a color.
