6. Ontology-based innovation
In the previous sections of this article, we have illustrated different incremental steps as to how an
existing knowledge base can be built and developed. Each step has added something new to the
existing one. We claim that each step is required to be able to build collective understanding of our
world and its state, and also on what we should do now. The incremental knowledge base that we are
building in these examples enables us to innovate using the new incremental knowledge pieces and
the combination they create with existing knowledge pieces on the same level. Figure 7 illustrates the
increments. Table 2 attempts to describe the levels and scope of innovation they enable.
