An ontology for the identification of the most appropriate risk management methodology

Abstract

Methods and technologies for risk management have been developed and consolidated over time in different sectors and to meet various needs. Recently, ISO organization published a set of documents for risk assessment. These guidelines are not specific to a particular sector, but can be undertaken by any public or private organization and can be applied to any type of risk. This paper presents a research work that aims to realize a knowledge-base for the development of a tool to support the identification of the most appropriate risk management methodology according to the specific characteristics of an organization. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
