AB  - Decision making for the management of water resources is a complex and difficult task. This is due to the complex socio-economic system that involves a large number of interest groups pursuing multiple and conflicting objectives, within an often-intricate legislative framework. Several Decision Support Systems have been developed but very few have indeed proved to be effective and truly operational. The ontology explicates relevant constructs and presents a vocabulary for a decision support system and emphasizes the need to cover environmental and contextual variables as an integral part of decision support system development and evaluation methodologies. These results help the system developers to take the system`s context into account through the set of defined variables that are linked to the application domain. This implies that domain and application characteristics, as well as knowledge creation and sharing aspects, are considered at every phase of development. With these extensions the focus in decision support systems development shifts from task ontology towards domain ontology. This extended ontology gives better support for development because from it follows that a more thorough problem analysis will be performed.
