Abstract

Multiple-criteria decision analysis methods are widely used as tools supporting a decision problem. The article presents the taxonomy of the methods, which takes into consideration the most essential characteristics. This taxonomy, in the conceptualization process, was written by means of description logic and then it was implemented in the OWL language in the form of ontology representing field knowledge in the scope of MCDA methods. The research also considers the ontology verification prepared with the use of competency questions.
