This invention concerns a generic knowledge software agent, or kuark, existing within a knowledge environment. The kuark comprises: a defined domain of discourse within the environment which determines a source context of information detectable by the kuark, and a destination context of information identifiable by the kuark. The kuark has a defined source region, or pattern, within the source context and a mapping between that source region and a defined destination region, or pattern, within the destination context. The kuark detects all environmental parameters compatible with the source region and source context so that when the source region is satisfied the mapping fires to determine the destination region in the destination context and makes it available to the environment where it can be observed by a user. It also concerns systems or kitems, made up of kuarks and a process for constructing them. It also concerns mult-kitem systems and searching processes for those systems. Finally it also concerns software agents and a knowledge management system comprising kitems.
