Description
Summary:► The paper provides a collaborative platform to support cognitive decision making. ► The platform extends a discrete multicriteria decision making tool (PRIOR-Web). ► It includes new features related to information processing and visualisation. ► Quantitative and qualitative approaches are used for the information processing. ► New graphical tools reflect the patterns of behaviour of decision makers. Two key aspects of the Knowledge Society are the interconnection between the actors involved in the decision making processes and the importance of the human factor, particularly the citizen’s continuous learning and education. This paper presents a new module devoted to knowledge extraction and diffusion that has been incorporated into a previously developed decision making tool concerning the Internet and related with the multicriteria selection of a discrete number of alternatives (PRIOR-Web). Quantitative and qualitative procedures using data and text mining methods have been employed in the extraction of knowledge. Graphical visualisation tools have been incorporated in the diffusion stage of the methodological approach suggested when dealing with decision making in the Knowledge Society. The resulting collaborative platform is being used as the methodological support for the cognitive democracy known as e-cognocracy.
