Decision Support and Reasoning

One of the primary reasons for having structured data is to provide the ability to automate decision-support and reasoning across information models, data types, and the terminology associated with the attributes of each data type. For the ECCF registry to provide maximal value to end-users, it is necessary to support common decision-support functions across the enterprise and to extend that through services to the end-users.
