A discrete Choquet integral can be used for the aggregation of attribute values in decision problems in the presence of interaction among attributes. The main drawback is the non-existence of a clear interpretation of what a given fuzzy measure means in terms of behavior in decision making. This paper presents an equivalent representation: the logical representation of the discrete Choquet integral. This logical representation enables expressing what a given fuzzy measure means in terms of behavior in decision making and/or enables a consistent explanation of a decision maker's preference structure in the presence of interaction among attributes.
