Generating Derived Links

A system, method, computer program product and computer program for evaluating links between objects are provided. A receive ontology component receives an ontology and an identify component identifies, from the ontology, semantic feature types within the ontology that can be used to measure the links between the objects. A data receive component receives instance information and maps the instance information into an ontological form of the instance information. An analyze component analyzes the ontological form to generate an ontological mapping of the instance information. A match component analyzes the mapping to identify matches with semantic patterns. A strength component analyzes the associated semantic features associated with the objects of the matches to determine weightings for the links of the matches. An alert component provides the links and associated weightings.
