1. A computer implemented method for automating integration of terminological information into a knowledge base, said method comprising the steps of: receiving, into a computer, input terminology information comprising a plurality of input terms and information that specifies ontological relationships among at least two of said input terms; storing, in said computer, a knowledge base comprising a plurality of ontologies, each one of said ontologies comprising a plurality of nodes hierarchically arranged to depict ontological relationships among said nodes, each node representing a term; parsing said input terminology information to generate a logical structure that depicts ontological relationships among said input terms in a format compatible with said knowledge base; determining whether at least one input term matches a node in said knowledge base; if not, generating a new and independent ontology for said knowledge base comprising said logical structure of said ontological relationships; and if so, extending said knowledge base by storing data that logically couples said logical structure of said ontological relationships to a node that matches an input term.
