Abstract
This paper presents methods to investigate a structure of objects described with qualitative attributes (multicriterial alternatives, textual documents and so on). Proposed algorithms of clustering and ordering are based on the theoretical model of multisets. Techniques take into account qualitative nature of object properties and decision maker preferences.
