INTERACTIVE KNOWLEDGE DATABASE SYSTEM FOR AIDING STRUCTURING AND VISUALIZING KNOWLEDGE BY INTERACTION IN THINKING PROCESS TO SHARE STRUCTURED KNOWLEDGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide mechanisms for aiding structuring and visualizing knowledge by interaction in an interactive knowledge database system and improving easiness of understanding and logical quality of the generated knowledge: (1) a data structure of knowledge for structuring and expressing a purpose of the knowledge and a scenario for achieving the purpose; (2) a mechanism for visualizing the structured knowledge with a computer to be easily understood; and (3) a mechanism of interaction with which a user can refer to and edit the whole knowledge connected to each other.SOLUTION: An interactive knowledge database system is configured to execute the steps of (1) hierarchically expressing internally or externally structured information with knowledge split into a plurality of types of knowledge components and constitutional units thereof, (2) expressing knowledge contents of the knowledge components and the constitutional units using a plurality of types of visual formats, and (3) generating copies of the knowledge components from a model in which common minimum component units are combined with each other to edit structured information and the knowledge contents alternatively via independent screens such that they are made similar to desired data.
