Abstract
Until now, we have focused on group recommendation techniques for choice scenarios, related to explicitly-defined items. However, further choice scenarios exist that differ in the way alternatives are represented and recommendations are determined. We introduce a categorization of these scenarios and discuss knowledge representation and group recommendation aspects on the basis of examples.

Notes
- 1.
We limit our discussions to scenarios with three partitions.
- 2.
For a discussion of the potential impacts of voting strategies, we refer to [16].
- 3.
The aggregation functions used in this and other scenarios are considered as convenient, however, other alternatives might exist.
- 4.
For example, choco-solver.org.
- 5.
In order to reduce evaluation efforts, a user could specify only preferred items and the system would assume negative evaluations for items a user did not evaluate.
