Towards a technology of trust: Decisional DNA and Reflexive Ontologies

Abstract

In this article, we introduce the necessary elements that must integrate a decisional technology that can offer trust and use them for the implementation of decisional trust systems. Thus, we refer to these elements as Decisional Trust, which can be achieved through the use of elements such as the Decisional DNA and the reflexive ontologies. Decisional Trust operates in two fronts: (i) the construction of Reflexive Ontologies as descriptions of concepts and relations with a set of self contained queries in a domain of study; and (ii) the construction of Decisional DNA as a knowledge structure capable of collecting organizationspsila decisional fingerprints. Our approach extends the use of Reflexive Ontologies and Decisional DNA with the aim of offering trustable decisions, and introduces elements for the exploitation of embedded trustable decisional knowledge. Fully developed, it would advance the notion of administering trustable knowledge in the current decision making environment.
