Performance Measurement Systems-Related Ontologies

Abstract

The semantic representation of organizations' performance measurement systems is critical in limiting problems arising from the increasing complexity of enterprises. Ontologies offer unambiguous semantics, which allows better information management and facilitates automated reasoning. In this work, a documentary analysis was done to summarize the most commonly cited performance measurement systems in the literature. The article also shows the contribution of using ontological models to support these systems and presents some examples of related work.
