Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for exploring knowledge. The mechanism receives a set of known facts. The mechanism traverses paths in an ontology for a domain of knowledge from known facts in the set of known facts to one or more hypotheses. The ontology includes a plurality of entity types and a plurality of relationships between the entity types. The mechanism presents one or more hypotheses to a user.
