Popis: Participatory Budget (PB) is a process that distributes part of the city budgets among projects submitted and selected by the dwellers. The key challenge for IT-supported e-PB is the projects’ comparison and ranking. This paper focuses on an empirical test of a hybrid method for comparing BP projects. In this study, we investigate two difficult to measure dimensions: beneficiaries and categories. We use ontology to describe and map distances between concept and then generate ranking based on the fuzzy TOPSIS method. The method is validated through experiments with annotators and working methods. The results surpass semantic measure, but also show the space for further development.
