Social decision support systems are able to aggregate the local perspectives of a diverse group of individuals into a global social decision. This paper presents a multirelational network ontology and grammar-based particle swarm algorithm capable of aggregating the decisions of millions of individuals. This framework supports a diverse problem space and a broad range of vote aggregation algorithms. These algorithms account for individual expertise and representation across different domains of

Ultimately, via a social decision making algorithm, the system aggregates all the individual votes into a single collective decision.
