CONCURRENT A-BOX AND T-BOX GENERATION FOR USE IN WEB ONTOLOGY LANGUAGE (OWL) DATABASE AND KNOWLEDGE BASE CONSTRUCTION

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there are provided mechanisms and methods for implementing concurrent generation of an a-box and a t-box for use in a computing environment comprising a knowledge system. A t-box comprises categories and relationships about the categories and an a-box, comprising assertions of individual instances of the categories of the t-box. With these mechanisms and methods, it is possible to process structured information into a form usable by a knowledge engine.
