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.
