Abstract
Representation of knowledge is used to store and retrieve informational data in a machine. Since meaning cannot be directly stored in the computer; this work proposes a series of levels of representation. The meaning of the data is transformed to a format that the machine can use to store and retrieve knowledge. These levels are designed to transform the knowledge from an abstract definition to a machine representation without loosing any meaning.
