Azamat,    (01)

Contrary to your statement, "...classification/sorting/categorization is hardly 
among a basic mental operation," those are actually basic mental operations.     (02)

They are how we understand the world, and how we revise our understanding when 
presented with new and conflicting information.    (03)

They are also the motivators for much of our artificial intelligence research 
like ontology development, because we are looking for external assistance for 
those mental activities.    (04)

"So the knowledge creation process might be thought of as the steps: 
attention, connection, exchange, filtration, integration, new knowledge."
Here is the strong side of WordNet: knowledge is the result of interacting of 
two cognitive processes: basic mental processes ( as attention, perception, 
memory, representation, classification, and learning) and higher operations (as 
search, thinking, implication, deciding, knowing and language).
Although, classification/sorting/categorization is hardly among a basic mental 
operation.
