Computerized knowledge representation system with flexible user entry fields
First Claim
1. Fact templates for use in a Knowledge Representation System (KRS) on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising:
- at least one fact-type specific fact template, each fact-type specific fact template accepting one predefined fact type found in predetermined information sources, wherein the template is capable of translating the fact type from one of a text-based, graphical and tabular language into a computational information language of the KRS; and
the at least one fact-type specific fact template having at least one user interface that constrains user data entry to one of a predetermined set of valid user entries that may be inserted into the fact template at the user interface;
wherein the user interface includes a user entry field that permits entry of new information not included in the predetermined set of valid user entries and wherein information entered into the user entry field automatically flags the completed fact template for review.

Abstract
Methods for constructing and maintaining knowledge representation systems (KRS) are disclosed. The KRS is initially organized and populated using knowledge engineers. After initial organization, scientific domain experts digest and structure source texts for direct entry into the KRS using templates. These templates constrain both the form and content of the digested information, allowing it to be entered directly into the KRS. The methods disclosed herein permit the construction and maintenance of a much larger KRS than could be constructed and maintained using known methods. Fact type specific fact templates are completed, accepting predefined fact types found in predetermined information sources. Fact template may comprise a user interface that constrains user entry to one of a predetermined set of valid entries. The user interface may include a user field that permits entry of new information not included in the predetermined set of valid user entries.

4. A frame-based Knowledge Representation System (KRS) on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, populated with facts, the facts having been entered into the system by the step of:
-
completing at least one fact-type specific fact template, each fact-type specific fact template accepting one predefined fact type found in predetermined information sources, wherein the at least one fact-type specific fact template comprises at least one user interface that constrains user data entry to one of a predetermined set of valid user entries that may be inserted into the fact template at the user interface, and wherein the user interface includes a user entry field that permits entry of new information not included in the predetermined set of valid user entries; transferring a plurality of structured facts from completed fact templates into the KRS to form a knowledge base, the structured facts being derived from natural language information sources; wherein the KRS is an ontology having varying levels of abstraction of biological concepts and the structured facts correspond to one or more of the varying levels of abstraction of biological concepts and wherein information entered into the user entry field automatically flags the completed fact template for review. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
