Abstract: The implementation architecture of a knowledge representation server as a class library in an object-oriented language is described. The graphic editing tools developed to support ease of interactive editing of the objects in the knowledge representation system are illustrated. It is shown that object-oriented paradigms are effective in knowledge representation for organizational modeling and problem solving. They allow system architectures to be developed that combine centralized repositories and distributed heterogeneous subsystems to support new forms of organizational integration.
