Knowledge representation systems and methods incorporating customization

An apparatus for modifying an elemental computer data structure, the elemental computer data structure including a universal kernel and a plurality of customized modules, the plurality of customized modules corresponding to a respective plurality of data consumers, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more computer-readable media capable of storing the elemental computer data structure;
• and
• an analysis engine configured to:
• obtain an indicator regarding an elemental component based on data associated with one or more of the plurality of customized modules;
• determine whether the indicator satisfies a criterion for performing a modification operation on the elemental computer data structure;
• and
• based on the indicator satisfying the criterion, perform the modification operation on the elemental computer data structure,
• wherein a result provided by the elemental computer data structure for a first of the plurality of data consumers depends on the universal kernel and is customized for the first data consumer based on a first of the plurality of customized modules,
• wherein the elemental computer data structure further includes a domain-specific customized module, and performing the modification operation on the elemental computer data structure comprises modifying an elemental component of, adding an elemental component to, or removing an elemental component from the domain-specific customized module based on the data associated with the one or more of the plurality of customized modules.
