Product Identity Product Identity (32) Decision-Making Transparency (1) description: Ontomatica's Decision-Making Transparency Application integrates relevant ontology rules (items, properties, relationships and constraints) with relevant data sets. The Decision-Making Transparency Application is the electronic specification of critical decisons made when making a product. Background: Transparency, as used in science, engineering, business, the humanities and in other social contexts, implies openness, communication, and accountability. Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. It has been defined simply as "the perceived quality of intentionally shared information from a sender". Transparency is practiced in companies, organizations, administrations, and communities. It guides an organization's decisions and policies on the disclosure of information to its employees and the public, or simply the intended recipient of the information. For example, a cashier making change after a point of sale transaction by offering a record of the items purchased (e.g., a receipt) as well as counting out the customer's change on the counter demonstrates one type of transparency.
