The invention features a business method that takes advantage of the ability to convert unorganized information in the form of paper documents, document images, and electronic documents and converts the information to an organized electronic form referred to as Knowledge Objects. The invention further encompasses forming electronic Business Objects, such as documents and data sets, useful for business decision making and information exchange. The methods of the invention may utilize computerized storage and computerized decision-making systems to enable making more rapid critical business decisions.

The AKOS (Artificial Knowledge Object System) of the invention is a software processing engine that relates incoming information to pre-existing stored knowledge in the form of a world model and, through a process analogous to human learning and comprehension, updates or extends the knowledge contained in the model, based on the content of the new information. Incoming information can come from sensors, computer to computer communication, or natural human language in the form of text messages. The software creates as an output. Intelligent action is defined as an output to the real-world accompanied by an alteration to the internal world model which accurately reflects an expected, specified outcome from the action. These actions may be control signals across any standard electronic computer interface or may be direct communications to a human in natural language.

A multidimensional dynamic local knowledge map is composed of a resource layer, a meta-knowledge layer, a logic analysis layer and a presentation layer, the resource layer provides resource and data support for the meta-knowledge layer, the meta-knowledge layer uniformly describes the resources and data and provides required knowledge for the logic analysis layer, the logic analysis layer obtains the knowledge required by the user from the meta-knowledge layer and sets up an incidence relation of knowledge points, and the presentation layer converts the knowledge points and the incidence relation into graphic elements and presents the graphic elements for the user. A constructing method of the multidimensional dynamic local knowledge map comprises the six steps of 1, collecting and clearing up various kinds of information, 2, constructing a body for the collected knowledge, 3, packaging the knowledge, 4, utilizing meta data for describing a knowledge object, 5, setting up the incidence relation of the knowledge units to form a knowledge relevance link, and 6, utilizing a visualization technology for conducting multidimensional presentation on the knowledge nodes and the relevance of the knowledge map.

A novel system for automated metadata generation of learning and knowledge Objects are presented. Such system automates the processes of adding descriptive and contextual information to digital learning content, digital documents, and other objects used in learning and knowledge management. It also automates the process of creating associations among higher level objects and classifications systems used to organize content, and it does so in a way that improves the functionality of existing technologies, that can be tuned to meet the needs of a particular organization or community of practice, and that can be extended and refined to take advantage of new information retrieval technologies. It includes methods that handle aggregate digital objects composed of a plurality of other objects and that improves efficiency by caching data and recognizing the relationships among aggregate objects and their components.

The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems and methods in which a point management system packages worker thought-processes and supporting reference materials with the point or conclusion being made, enabling rapid review and verification by a decision-maker. The point management system includes a literal object database, snip object database and point object database, wherein each snip object is derived from a literal object and linked to the location from which it was derived. The system further includes a point authoring module that enables users to link snip objects within the point object, and a snip verification engine that enables a reviewer of the point object to verify the supporting snip objects and literal objects, their relationships to each other and to the points being made in the point object, and the team collaboration that has transpired at both the snip object level and point object level.
