Systems and methods for building a vehicle data repository (VDR) are provided. In some embodiments, the VDR is constructed by adding standardized build sheets to it. The standardized build sheets may be constructed by selecting data from various data sources (e.g., original equipment manufacturer (OEM) databases, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) databases, Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) databases, and/or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) databases). Furthermore, a common ontology may be created and applied to the various data sources to aide in the selection of data between the data sources to construct the standardized build sheets.
