1. A computer-implemented system for parsing and exporting data from one or more multi-relational ontologies, the system comprising:
- one or more master multi-relational ontologies including a plurality of individual assertions, wherein an individual assertion comprises a first concept, a second concept, and a relationship between the first concept and the second concept, wherein at least one concept in a first assertion of the plurality of individual assertions is a concept in at least a second assertion of the plurality of assertions, wherein one or more relationships in the plurality of individual assertions comprise relationships unconstrained by any hierarchical arrangement of concepts, and wherein each of individual assertions of the one or more master multi-relational ontologies is associated with a confidence weight that is an indication of the confidence in the truth of the assertion;
an export module that;
receives a selection of two or more concepts from the plurality of assertions of the one of the one or more master multi-relational ontologies,applies one or more path-finding constraints to the two or more concepts to yield a subset of individual assertions from the plurality of assertions, wherein the path finding constraints identify one or more individual assertions from the plurality of individual assertions of the one or more master multi-relational ontologies that connect, directly or indirectly, the two or more concepts,receives a selection of a starting concept from the subset of individual assertions, andapplies one or more expansion parameters to the starting concept to yield a redacted subset of assertions from the subset of individual assertions, wherein the one or more expansion parameters include one or more selectable characteristics of the subset of individual assertions, and wherein the redacted subset of assertions includes at least one assertion that includes the starting concept; and
a storage device that stores the redacted subset of assertions as individual assertions,wherein the export module outputs the redacted subset of assertions to a predetermined location in a predetermined format.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for parsing and/or exporting one or more multi-relational ontologies. The system may apply a set of export constraints to one or more master ontologies to produce a redacted data subset. The redacted data subset may then be exported to a specified location or application.
