Knowledge management system and process for managing knowledge

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• requesting a document by a knowledge manager;
• communicating the documents to the knowledge manager from a knowledge database;
• requesting a taxonomy by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the taxonomy to the knowledge manager from a taxonomy manager;
• requesting an ecosystem by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the ecosystem to the knowledge manager from an ecosystem manager;
• requesting an annotation by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the annotation to the knowledge manager from an annotation manager with the annotation comprising an algebraic data type for a phrase such that the algebraic data type comprises a leaf that contains a string representing a lexical item:
• a left subtree;
• a right subtree;
• a head field that indicates whether the left subtree or right subtree contains a syntactic head of the phrase, and elements in the algebraic date type contain features that represent linguistic structure including syntactic category, dependency type, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing features;
• and
• communicating a knowledge management data to a knowledge warehouse from the knowledge manager to manage knowledge,
• wherein the knowledge management data comprises the documents, the taxonomy, the ecosystem, and the annotation.

A system comprising:

• one or more computers configured to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• requesting a document by a knowledge manager;
• communicating the documents to the knowledge manager from a knowledge database;
• requesting a taxonomy by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the taxonomy to the knowledge manager from a taxonomy manager;
• requesting an ecosystem by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the ecosystem to the knowledge manager from an ecosystem manager;
• requesting an annotation by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the annotation to the knowledge manager from an annotation manager with the annotation comprising an algebraic data type for a phrase such that the algebraic data type comprises a leaf that contains a string representing a lexical item:
• a left subtree;
• a right subtree;
• a head field that indicates whether the left subtree or right subtree contains a syntactic head of the phrase, and elements in the algebraic date type contain features that represent linguistic structure including syntactic category, dependency type, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing features;
• and
• communicating a knowledge management data to a knowledge warehouse from the knowledge manager to manage knowledge,
• wherein the knowledge management data comprises the documents, the taxonomy, the ecosystem, and the annotation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• requesting a document by a knowledge manager;
• communicating the documents to the knowledge manager from a knowledge database;
• requesting a taxonomy by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the taxonomy to the knowledge manager from a taxonomy manager;
• requesting an ecosystem by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the ecosystem to the knowledge manager from an ecosystem manager;
• requesting an annotation by the knowledge manager;
• communicating the annotation to the knowledge manager from an annotation manager with the annotation comprising an algebraic data type for a phrase such that the algebraic data type comprises a leaf that contains a string representing a lexical item;
• a left subtree;
• a right subtree;
• a head field that indicates whether the left subtree or right subtree contains a syntactic head of the phrase, and elements in the algebraic date type contain features that represent linguistic structure including syntactic category, dependency type, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing features;
• and
• communicating a knowledge management data to a knowledge warehouse from the knowledge manager to manage knowledge,
• wherein the knowledge management data comprises the documents, the taxonomy, the ecosystem, and the annotation.
