System and method for managing knowledge

This invention describes a computer system designed to gather and make sense of large amounts of raw, unorganized information, especially for intelligence analysis. It works by collecting data from many sources, converting it into a standardized format using a specialized language and a structured knowledge map (ontology), and then storing and allowing users to query this organized information. The claims specifically describe a method using a network of servers to collect and process this data, managed through a visual programming environment.

Why it matters: Filed before modern cloud infrastructure and advanced AI/NLP models made processing diverse unstructured data streams and building dynamic ontologies significantly more feasible and automated. The core challenge of converting raw data into structured intelligence is now much more tractable.

Status: In forceA lapse was cured by a late fee and protection was reinstated.
How hard to build: SpecializedDistributed software system, custom data processing logic
