An Ontological Model for Integrating Cognitive and Sociological Data for Personnel Assessment
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the context of digital transformation of organizations and the growing volume of data, there is a demand for more transparent and explainable approaches to employee evaluation. The purpose of the study is to design and validate an ontological model (OWL 2/SHACL) that integrates employees’ cognitive indicators and sociological characteristics into a unified knowledge space to support HR processes. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of a unified semantic model linking data from cognitive tests, questionnaires, work context, and performance indicators; in the formulation of competency questions (CQ) that trigger reasoning mechanisms within the knowledge graph; and in the creation of patterns for predicting competency gaps, identifying the risk of overload/burnout, while ensuring ethics and non-discrimination control. The proposed approach is based on ontology engineering methodologies – METHONTOLOGY and NeOn, semantic web concepts, and psychometric methods.
