KNOWLEDGE FRAMEWORK ONTOLOGY USING THREE PLANES

A method and apparatus for organizing knowledgebase. The method includes the steps of defining a multi-level knowledgebase framework, the framework comprising a plane one capturing abstract knowledgebase that is universal across at least one of domains and applications, a plane two capturing real world knowledge base describing at least one of domains and applications, and a plane three capturing rules for at least one of recognizing, validating, invalidating and reasoning tasks. Information in different planes is maintained independent of each other. One or more elements may be connected across one or more of planes one, two and three by an information system in accordance with a context derived from an information designation.
