Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for identifying and evaluating hypothetical ontological links in an ontology and outputting intelligence information. An ontology is received that comprises a plurality of information concept objects and one or more actual links between the information concept objects. An indication of a selected information concept object for which a hypothetical ontological link is to be evaluated is received. One or more natural language questions are generated for processing by a Question Answering (QA) system pipeline based on at least an identification of a type of the selected information concept object. The one or more natural language questions are processed to generate answer results and a score for the hypothetical ontological link is calculated based on the answer results. Intelligence information associated with the hypothetical ontological link is output based on the score for the hypothetical ontological link.
