15. An apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a set of evidential data specifying a plurality of information concept entities; analyze an ontological data structure associated with the set of evidential data to identify potential ontological relationships between information concept entities in the plurality of information concept entities; automatically generate a hypothetical link between at least two information concept entities in the plurality of information concept entities based on results of the analysis, wherein the hypothetical link represents a scenario involving the at least two information concept entities; retrieve a set of questions corresponding to the hypothetical link between the at least two information concept entities; prune the set of questions into a subset of questions based on at least one of characteristics of the hypothetical link or characteristics of the at least two information concept entities; process the pruned set of questions based on a corpus of evidence to thereby generate a measure of support for or against the hypothetical link being an actual link between the at least two information concept entities; and output an validity indication for the hypothetical link indicating whether or not the hypothetical link is an actual link between the at least two information concept entities.
16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the set of questions are associated with a general scenario type associated with the hypothetical link, and wherein the pruned set of questions are specific to the particular scenario of the hypothetical link.
