Abstract: What is disclosed is a method for processing data structures with the aid of networked semantic units, which comprises the steps of acquiring a data structure; and generating, modifying, deleting and/or storing semantic structure units and/or networking them on the basis of the acquired data structure while using a knowledge base comprised of a network of semantic knowledge units. Herein semantic structure units and/or their network are classified in iterative steps, and based on this classification a specific processing may be activated which modifies a respective semantic structure unit and/or a particular partial network.
