Abstract:

Modern information technology (IT) managerial support systems often utilize visualization as a fundamental form of presenting information. In this context, however, users require easy access and rapid retrieval of not only information, but also knowledge stored by the system. The current trend in research is to identify new methods of graphical presentation that can be used to visualize knowledge. One of the most promising trends in this area is the exploration of the ontological approach to knowledge representation, and the associated semantic network visualization techniques. This paper presents selected aspects of the practical application of semantic network visualization in support of decision-making processes in the narrow context of financial indicators analysis, and in the light of both the rational and the behavioral approach.
