Abstract. In this paper we describe a domain independent architecture
to help in the design of knowledge intensive CBR systems. It is based on
the knowledge incorporation from a library of application-independent
ontologies and the use of an ontology with the common CBR terminology
that guides the case representation and allows the description of flexible,
generic and homogeneous CBR processes based on classification.
