2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving an indication of at least a selected information concept object for which a hypothetical ontological link is to be evaluated comprises receiving a user selection of an information concept object from the ontology and an input of a hypothetical ontological link type associated with the selected information concept object.
1. A method, in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, for identifying and evaluating hypothetical ontological links in an ontology and outputting information, the method comprising: receiving, by the data processing system, an ontology comprising a plurality of information concept objects and one or more actual links between the information concept objects; receiving, by the data processing system, an indication of at least a selected information concept object for which a hypothetical ontological link is to be evaluated, wherein the hypothetical ontological link is a potential link that is not already present as an actual link in the ontology; automatically generating, by the data processing system, one or more natural language questions for processing by a Question Answering (QA) system pipeline based on at least an identification of a type of the selected information concept object; processing, by the QA system pipeline, the one or more natural language questions to generate answer results; calculating, by the data processing system, a score for the hypothetical ontological link based on the answer results; and outputting, by the data processing system, information associated with the hypothetical ontological link based on the score for the hypothetical ontological link, wherein calculating a score for the hypothetical ontological link comprises: calculating a score for each answer result in the generated answer results; generating a weighted score for each of the answer results; and combining the weighted scores for each of the answer results to generate the score for the hypothetical ontological link.
