Abstract
Systems, computer-implemented methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are provided for determining related ontological data. The disclosed systems may be configured to receive a first ontology and a second ontology, the first ontology and the second ontology comprising hierarchically organized ontological data. The disclosed systems may also be configured to receive an indication that a first ontological datum in the first ontology is equivalent to a second ontological datum in the second ontology, and a query for ontological data related to a third ontological datum subordinate to the first ontological datum. The disclosed systems may be configured to determine a first semantic distance between the third ontological datum and a fourth ontological datum in the second ontology satisfies a semantic distance criterion, and output the fourth ontological datum based on the determination that the first semantic distance satisfies the semantic distance criterion.
