1. A method for operationalizing a goal, comprising: receiving the goal and a plurality of execution rules associated with the goal, each execution rule corresponding to an execution system operable to initiate execution of the execution rule; representing the goal in a representation language comprising a set of operations; applying an operation of the set of operations to the goal to partition the goal into a plurality of subgoals; for each subgoal, applying an operation of the set of operations to the subgoal to derive and configure an execution rule associated with the subgoal; and recording the goals, the applied operations, the subgoals, and the execution rules as operationalized knowledge to operationalize the goal.
