Abstract

See full text

Method and apparatus are provided for mapping information from a dynamic frame-based semantic network to a static working memory by utilizing a topological sorting algorithm which processes at least one queue of frames. Preferably, the algorithm is utilized with filtering to avoid unnecessary updates. The algorithm makes a marking pass and an updating pass across the queued frames. The marking pass orders a queue of class frames. The updating pass updates working memory elements of the working memory corresponding to the ordered class frames and working memory elements which correspond to instances of the class. After the updating pass, the working memory elements reflect local and inheritable slots and values from the semantic network. Such mapping allows the working memory elements to be further processed such as by matching against rules.
