Management of different format initial data

Abstract

Most available models and tools facilitating cooperative decision making are functional when initial data is presented in the same format. Real life situations however often require incorporation of initial data in f.ex. crisp values, interval values, and text at the same time. In this work we apply many-valued formal concept analysis for answering queries when some of the initial data is available in text form and another part in with crisp values. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
