Semantic Web Tools and Decision-Making

Conference paper
Part of the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing book series (LNBIP, volume 180)

Abstract

Semantic Web technologies are intertwined with decision-making processes. In this paper the general objectives of the semantic web tools are reviewed and characterized, as well as the categories of decision support tools, in order to establish an intersection of utility and use. We also elaborate on actual and foreseen possibilities for a deeper integration, considering the actual implementation, opportunities and constraints in the decision-making context.
