          Appeal No. 96-3762                                                          
          Application No. 08/245,179                                                  


          claimed representation of the data in the storing means.                    
          However, Loopik's knowledge base is not part of the data base               
          (see Figure 5).  Accordingly, implementing the teachings of                 
          Highland results in the knowledge base, but not the data in                 
          the data base, being represented by relationships between                   
          semantic entities associated with each instruction and between              
          semantic entities and processor resources.  Further, the                    
          examiner has not provided any other explanation as to why it                
          would have been obvious to make the data in the data base be                
          represented by the claimed relationships.  Thus, the examiner               
          has not met all of the elements of the claims, and                          
          consequently has failed to establish a prima facie case of                  
          obviousness.  Therefore, the rejection cannot be sustained.
