Arguments that support decisions in e-cognocracy: A quantitative approach based on priorities intensity

Abstract

This paper deals with the identification of the arguments that support the decisions made within the context of e-cognocracy. To this end, on the basis of a discussion carried out through communication media, more specifically a forum, we present different decisional tools oriented to the identification of the outstanding comments from the quantitative values corresponding to the decision makers’ preferences. The arguments that support the decisions made by the different actors involved in the resolution process will be obtained from these comments by using text-mining techniques.
