Summary
The notion of metrizable ordinal proximity measure is a suitable tool to represent the perceptions about the proximities between the linguistic terms of a qualitative scale in an ordinal way. This notion has been applied to several multi-criteria decision-making problems. Individuals show their opinions on a set of alternatives regarding different criteria, each one under a specific qualitative scale equipped with a metrizable ordinal proximity measure. A ranking on the set of alternatives is obtained through a normalization procedure and an aggregation process.
