Profile Compiler: Ontology-Based Multilingual Online Services to Support Collaborative Decision Making

In industries, ontologies and the modern semantic technologies are offered as the potential solutions to support mutual understanding in the collaborative settings. Currently, organizations are unable to cope with collaborative decision making in the Human Resource Management (HRM) domain. Mastering competencies and sharing decision rules is a complex yet important issue. Therefore, we developed an online multilingual knowledge platform, the PROFILE COMPILER, which allows small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to retrieve and personalize existing competence profiles, design and share their decision rules (e.g. recruitment rules). Semantic Decision Tables (SDT) is mainly used (1) to elaborate concepts of the competency ontologies within a decision group, (2) to gather semantic grounded decision rules and (3) to provide tabular reports to the users. In this paper, we focus on the underlying system design, the knowledge extraction methodologies, SDT integration and the result: the PROFILE COMPILER web applications. Ontologies, Terminology and SDT are at the heart of the design.
