The human process of knowledge-based reasoning is aided by ready access to information that is current, comprehensive and meaningful. Information archives are not, however, structured on a functional architecture that facilitates the natural information seeking and reasoning strategies used in human reasoning. In this paper I outline the fundamentals of a hierarchical structure that encourages a natural, opportunistic reasoning trajectory through a knowledge intensive domain and thereby enhances effectiveness of cognitive reasoning activities such as problem solving, analysis, planning, critical evaluation and understanding.
