This ontology is for modelling decisions and thus the causes for actions or the use or generation of things. It allows for a better understanding of why something might have taken place, have been used or produced than the more generic PROV ontology, on which it is mainly based, does.
The specialised decision modelling elements of this ontology have been derived from the W3C Decisions and Decision-Making Incubator Group's Decision Ontology (DO) which can be found at https://github.com/nicholascar/decision-o. Many DO classes have been aligned with the PROV-O since it is widely recognised that analysing the elements of decisions post hoc is an exercise in provenance.
Unlike the original DO, this ontology cannot be used for normative scenarios: it is only capable of recording decisions that have already been made (so-called data-driven use in the DO). This is because PROV does not have a templating system which can indicate what should occur in future scenarios.
This ontology introduces only one new element for decision modelling over that which was present in the DO: an Agent which allows agency in decision making to be recorded.

Description |
A Decision Input Data is an Entity that in input to (prov:used by) a DecisionMaking. |
Scope Notes |
Do not use this class to represent decision logic: use DecisionLogicExpression for that. |
Super-classes |
prov:Entityc |
URI | http://promsns.org/def/decprov#DecisonLogicExpression |
---|---|
Description |
A Decision Logic Expression is a prov:Plan that instructs a course of decision making action. |
Scope Notes |
Use this class to contain decision logic epxpressions in microformats, such as Decision Modelling Notation's FEEL expressions, or as a container entity to hold collections of semantic objects representing decision logic. |

A recorded answer to a Question |

---|---|
Description |
A temporal event in which decision processes are undertaken, such as initiating sub-questions for the question to be answered, consideration of options etc. |
Super-classes |

A recorded question |

URI | http://promsns.org/def/do#Requirement |
---|---|
Description |
Requirements require something from an OptionSelection Activity. They indicate their requirement with a set (a class) of objects. They are then satisified by the presense of an onject within that class. Multiple Requirements can be intersected to require very specific OptionSelection outcomes. |

Description | Links a Question to an Answer that a DecisionMaking generated for it. |
