User interface for conflict resolution management
First Claim
1. A method for processing a proposed modification to a knowledge entity stored within a knowledge base on a host server, the proposed modification being provided by a client device external from the host server, and the method comprising:
- displaying in a first screen area of a graphical user interface (GUI) a representation of the proposed modification, the first screen area being capable of containing additional representations of other proposed modifications to the knowledge entity;
displaying in a second screen area of the GUI a modified representation of the knowledge entity by graphically applying the proposed modification to the knowledge entity, the second screen area being distinct from the first screen area; and
providing a GUI option that, when selected by a user, stores the proposed modification to the knowledge entity in the knowledge base.

Abstract
One implementation provides a method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows a user to view proposed modifications to a knowledge entity. The method includes displaying to the user a first representation of a first proposed modification to the knowledge entity, and displaying to the user a second representation of a second proposed modification to the knowledge entity, wherein the second representation is positioned in relation to the first representation to indicate whether a conflict exists between the first and second proposed modifications to the knowledge entity. If there is a visual indication of the conflict, the method further includes displaying a modified representation of the knowledge entity by applying either the first or the second proposed modification according to a user-adjustable decision criterion.

28. A computer program product tangibly embodied in an information carrier, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed, perform a method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows a user to view proposed modifications to a knowledge entity, the method comprising:
-
displaying to the user a first representation of a first proposed modification to the knowledge entity;
displaying to the user a second representation of a second proposed modification to the knowledge entity, wherein the second representation is positioned in relation to the first representation to indicate whether a conflict exists between the first and second proposed modifications to the knowledge entity; and
