Method, Server, Database and Computer Program for Enriching Comparison Data of a Decision Making Application

摘要

A method, a server, a database and a computer program product by means of which comparison data of decision making applications can be enriched so that they may be utilized in other decision making applications. An application specific default database is first defined by selecting attributes to be assessed; selecting items to be compared; linking the selected attributes to the items by default attribute values and saving the defined default database of the decision making application to a global database. From the saved default attributes of items it is then calculated global attribute values to said items. The global attributes are then saved also to the global database. A second decision making application may be converted from the global attributes by first selecting a sub-group of items from all items of the global database. Then global attributes of items of the sub-group are converted to the local attributes, whereby speeding up creation of the second decision making application.

1. A method for enriching comparison data of decision making applications, by which an application user makes decisions by utilizing at least one evaluation frame, the method comprising:
defining in a development environment a first decision making application by defining an application specific default database by:
selecting attributes to be assessed;selecting items to be compared;linking the attributes to the items by default attribute values; andsaving the defined default database of the first decision making application to a global database; in the global database:
calculating from linked default attribute values of items of decision making applications included in the global database global attribute values to said items; andconverting from the global attributes at least one local attribute to be included in a second decision making application, which has at least one attribute or item linked to an existing attribute or item in the global database whereby speeding up creation of the second decision making application.
