1.   A  strategy  for  integraCng  &  organizing  knowledge  in  a  domain  of  interest  in  mulC-­‐sector,  and  internaConal  terms;  

 2      A  method  to  represent  this  knowledge  by  a  plurality  of  interrelated  

concepts,  and  interrelaConships  that  are  organized  in  internally  consistent  and  hierarchical  form  

3  A  set  of  selecCon  and  retrieval  funcConaliCes  consisCng  of  search  engines  and  browsers  which  operate  over  the  system’s  quality-­‐controlled  knowledge  base;  

 4.   Enhanced  capabiliCes  enabling  alternaCve  mulC-­‐lingual  knowledge  

provision,  search,  &  navigaCon  capabiliCes;
