As you added XML in the last version, I think you got the point.
I just thought about something else : how the server will decide which 
description from the tree will be send ? For instance, if the stimulus contain 
'human' then the Entity will perceive one of unknown, animal, biped, humanoid, 
and human. There is no rule to make the selection from the perception level.
I suggest to associate a perception level to each no of the tree, except for 
the root.
Ex : human 1
     humanoid 0.5
     biped 0
     animal -1
The Entity must have perceived higher than the perception level to get more 
precise descriptions
Ex :
1.5 => human
0.5 => humanoid
-0.5 => animal
-1.5 => unknown
