-Note that the difference between Create and Update is a function of the modularity of the KB. In a highly modular architecture,​ a new table/​knowledgebase-module may be created when a law is passed, when an investigation is opened, etc.. In a less modular architecture,​ these actions may be Updates rather than Creates. +
