PRIOR-W&K: A Collaborative Tool for Decision Making in the Knowledge Society

Abstract

This paper presents a new module devoted to knowledge extraction and diffusion, based on a previously developed decision making tool concerning the Internet and related with the multicriteria selection of a discrete number of alternatives. Quantitative and Qualitative procedures using data and text mining methods have been employed in the extraction of knowledge. The resulting collaborative tool may be considered as the methodological support for the cognitive democracy known as e-cognocracy. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
