A computer-implementable method for managing a cognitive graph comprising: receiving data from a plurality of data sources; processing the data from the plurality of data sources, the processing the data from the plurality of data sources identifying a plurality of knowledge elements; and, storing the knowledge elements within the cognitive graph as a collection of knowledge elements, the storing universally representing knowledge obtained from the data.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A computer-implementable method for managing a cognitive graph comprising: receiving data from a plurality of data sources; processing the data from the plurality of data sources, the processing the data from the plurality of data sources identifying a plurality of knowledge elements; and, storing the knowledge elements within the cognitive graph as a collection of knowledge elements, the storing universally representing knowledge obtained from the data. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating a cognitive insight based upon the collection of knowledge elements stored within the cognitive graph. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying at least some knowledge elements within the collection of knowledge elements as at least one of facts, opinions, descriptions, and skills. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying at least some knowledge elements within the collection of knowledge elements as at least one of statements, assertions, beliefs, perceptions, preferences, sentiments, attitudes and opinions and associating at least some knowledge elements with an entity responsible for generating the at least one of statements, assertions, beliefs, perceptions, preferences, sentiments, attitudes and opinions. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein: the cognitive graph comprises an entailment graph, the entailment graph modeling knowledge through inheritance. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein: the knowledge elements are stored within the cognitive graph as nodes; and, subsets of nodes are related via edges.
