1. One or more computer-readable storage devices having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that when executed cause operations for facilitating decision support by determining nomenclature linkages between variables in databases that have different ontologies, the operations comprising:
accessing a first set of values from a first document associated with a first record system, the first set of values having a first ontology;
accessing a second set of values from a second document associated with a second record system, the second set of values having a second ontology that is different than the first ontology;
based on the first set of values and the second set of values, generating a set of textmatrices;
applying latent semantic analysis to the set of textmatrices to determine a latent semantic space associated with the first set of values and the second set of values;
determining a measure of similarity between the first set of values and the second set of values associated with the latent semantic space;
based on the measure of similarity being between a first threshold and a second threshold, providing the first set of values and the second set of values for display on a user interface of a user device; and
receiving an indication from the user device confirming that the first set of values and the second set of values are synonymous.
