Ontological analysis of policy-based decision making

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Recently, a proposal has been made for an UFO-based ontology on Decision Making. The current paper builds on this work and aims to extend it by working out the relationship between decisions and policies. Organizational decisions are usually constrained by policies and rules, sometimes up to the point of completely automated decision making. Policies are relational, they exist on multiple levels within the organization and are a manifestation of organizational power. Drawing on and extending the UFO-L ontology on legal positions, we offer a critical analysis of the relationship between policy and policy document and provide ontological models for both.
