Abstract

This paper tries to identify some methodological consideration in building business ontologies for decision support. We treat the problems that business domain poses for knowledge engineers. We also discuss the main semantic web technologies involved in developing ontologies. We consider also the problems that decision support presents for ontologies. From these considerations we identify and discuss some methodological aspects that building ontologies for business decision support must take into considerations.
