Abstract

Decision making in the corporate environment involves gathering, organizing, de-conflicting, and using fine-grained information from diverse sources and formats to evaluate scenarios and choose courses of action. Though the pertinent information is readily available, and is of human-manageable scale, it is typically not integrated and ready for use. Tools for organizing this information are scarce, in part because the desired structure is often not pre-defined or available in an existing ontology. We believe that superimposed information constructs can provide the means for gathering the necessary information in an on-demand structure, and preserving invested human attention as metadata represented by this structure. In this paper, we introduce a construct called a manifestation, along with the notion of collections of manifestations, to support entity-centric decisions based on the requirements and constraints of a corporate decision making environment.
