3.1 Deriving the functional entity typology
We can now examine how QA systems can be considered according to these types of
entailment and the organising principles present in the noetica. Since answers are a
collection of “A is B” statements, with a declarative nature only to be found in the
knowledge level, the onus is on the responding system to create such rich collections,
and we can see that posing a question to the noetica, and gaining a meaningful answer, will increase the extent and significance of the vertex that most matches the question
type, enriching the knowledge resources correspondingly.
