Hierarchical interface environment

A system for an interface environment, comprising:

• computational equipment including a processor for generating a data representation of a document for display on a screen, the data representation including a plurality of contextual objects corresponding to information objects within the document, wherein each contextual object is based on a mapping of a definition in a domain specific knowledge;
• and
• a screen for presenting at least a portion of the data representation that corresponds to a continuous portion of the document;
• wherein
• the computational equipment processes a selection for a selected contextual object of the contextual objects in the data representation, wherein the display further presents a plurality of selectable contents defined in the domain specific knowledge for the selected contextual object, wherein
• the computational equipment further processes a second selection for one content of the selectable contents, wherein
• the display further presents a change of a content of the selected contextual object based on the one content, wherein
• the selected contextual object comprises contextual text that corresponds to a text of the document, and wherein
• the content of one or more contextual objects comprises one or more hierarchical levels, and wherein the changed content of one level of the hierarchical levels affects the mapped contents to the domain specific knowledge of one or more other levels of the hierarchical levels.

A method of presenting and capturing information in an interface environment, comprising:

• generating, using computational equipment including a processor, a data representation of a document for display on a screen, the data representation including a plurality of contextual objects corresponding to information objects within the document, wherein each contextual object is based on a mapping of a definition in a domain specific knowledge;
• presenting at least a portion of the data representation that corresponds to a continuous portion of the document on the screen;
• responsive to an input of for selecting a selected contextual object of the contextual objects in the data representation, presenting a plurality of selectable contents defined in the domain specific knowledge for the contextual object;
• responsive to a selection input of for selecting one of the selectable contents, changing a content of the selected contextual object and at least one of adding to and removing from the document one or more other contextual objects in accordance with the content of the selected contextual object mapped to a relational definition in the domain specific knowledge for the selected contextual object and the one or more other contextual objects;
• and
• storing at least one of the document and the contextual objects to a database, wherein
• the selected contextual object comprises contextual text that corresponds to a text of the document, and wherein
• the content of the selected contextual object comprises one or more hierarchical levels, and wherein the changed content of one level of the hierarchical levels affects the mapped contents to the domain specific knowledge of one or more other levels of the hierarchical levels.
