Abstract

The concept of risk as the theoretical and methodological basis forinformation- consistent ranking of decision alternatives is centralto safe, sustainable and resilient societal developments. However,due to significant disparities in the understanding of the concept ofrisk in academia, and in its application in governance and industry,we argue that a new paradigm for risk must be established. In asequence of three papers (Part I, Part II and Part III) we take upthis challenge, with the leading objective of providing a coherentfoundation for the further development and transfer of the generalbody of knowledge relevant to governance of risk, resilience and sustainability–through research and education. Part II (the presentpaper) provides a logic for the structuring of the knowledge domainin terms of a domain ontology of the concepts relevant for anintegrated science of risk, resilience and sustainability.
