Patent ID: 8645420

Claim:
A method for mapping a knowledge base into a hierarchical framework to facilitate reusability of task objects between related work domains, the method comprising: defining a set of taxonomies comprising members of a universe of activity objects for a first methodology; organizing a set of task objects of singular granularity into object groups having in common a relation to one member of the taxonomy; and publishing onto an application server for access by a user through an electronic display a plurality of documents having a hierarchical linkage, wherein a highest level document displays the set of taxonomies with links to a set of second level documents, each second level document representing an activity object instantiating a single member of the taxonomy, the second level document having links to a group of third-level documents, each third level document representing a task objects instantiating a single task object of singular granularity; receiving from the user, through the electronic display, a methodology mapping selection for a plurality of methodologies, including the first methodology and a second methodology; and mapping, with the methodology mapping selection, each methodology of the plurality of methodologies to a selection of a set of taxonomies from the user, whereby an instantiation of an activity object from the first methodology may be reused for the second methodology.
