Semantic interoperability between topographic data and a flood defence ontology

This paper addresses the problem of integrating a data ontology, exactly describing the database schema of the British national mapping agency, with an application ontology, whose purpose is to identify instances of the concept “Flood Defence”, a term not explicit in the data. We outline some of the compromises necessary to map from a closed-world data model to the openworld OWL-DL data ontolog...

Application of reliability-based flood defence design in the UK

Increasing concern about recent and potential impacts of flooding in the UK are leading to the adoption of risk-based methods for planning, appraisal, design and operation of flood defences. Probabilistic methods for assessment and design of flood defences are relatively well developed in the Netherlands because of the potentially devastating impacts of flooding. This paper describes a test app...
