1. A method for automating integration of terminological information into a knowledge base, said method comprising the steps of: receiving input terminology information comprising a plurality of input terms and information that specifies relationships among at least two of said input terms; storing a knowledge base comprising a plurality of nodes, which represent terminology, arranged to depict relationships among said terminology; parsing said input terminology information to generate a logical structure that depicts linguistic relationships among said input terms in a format compatible with said knowledge base; determining whether at least one input term exists as a node in said knowledge base; generating an independent ontology comprising said logical structure if none of said input terms exist as nodes in said knowledge base; and extending said knowledge base by logically coupling said logical structure to a node that matches an input term.
