When we look at today’s methods for knowledge models and education, we often look at the “Classical Education” method - named after its origins from classical era Greece as a certain conceptualized approach to education. This method led to a three-stage process, referred to in present-day as “Trivium”, that Ancient Greece philosopher Plato had explained in his dialogues regarding early Greek education. A closer look at the trivium reveals an ontological model that includes the 3 elements of a classical educational regiment - grammar, logic, and rhetoric. The trivium comes from the study of structures called “Ontology”, meaning different things in different fields (ironically), but through information science, it means, “a way of studying a structure, and understanding the relationships between its parts”. With structure defined as, “the way in which the parts of something are connected together” With this structure being the trivium, and the parts being grammar, logic, and rhetoric. A more impressive ontological addition towards the trivium has been “Bloom’s Taxonomy”, a hierarchical model written by a committee of educators, chaired by Benjamin Bloom, to take the three elements of the trivium, and divide them each into two simpler elements. “Grammar” turning into “Remember” and “Understand”, “Logic” turning into “Apply” and “Analyze”, and “Rhetoric” turning into “Evaluate” and “Create”.
