27. A method employed in a knowledge base system of adding a collection of entities obtained from a data base system to the knowledge base system comprising the steps of: translating a query used to obtain the collection of entities from the data base system into compositional descriptions of the entities; and integrating the compositional descriptions for the entities into the knowledge base system without classifying the compositional description for each entity individually.
