Abstract
A data management system (100) including a knowledge container creator module (118) operative to create at least a first data descriptor item (112) and at least a second data descriptor item (114) based upon a raw data item (110). The raw data item (110) is capable of containing data representing raw data that is in one of a plurality of different formats. The knowledge container creator module (118) also operative to link the raw data item (110) to at the least a first data descriptor item (112) and to link the raw data item (110) to the at least a second data descriptor item (114).
