Ontologies provide semantic representation of knowledge bases together with automated reasoning capabilities. These two approaches, combined with the use of concept maps, provide an integrated approach which can be used to understand complex and ill-structured problem domains and to aid in business modelling, strategy and scenario development and finally, decision-making.

Morphological Analysis and ontological constructs are applied in terms of an integrated Morphological Ontology Design Engineering methodology (MODE), which is based on Design Science.

This paper presents a complex fused model for national energy sufficiency in New Zealand. The approach can be used to address other ill-structured complex societal problems.AbstractenEnergy sufficiencyMorphological analysis modelMorphological ontology design engineeringOntologiesConference PresentationRoodt, J., Leenen, L., Van Vuuren, J., & Dawood, Z.
