Ontology Structure of Elements for Web-Based Natural Disaster Management Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent natural disasters have brought forth the need for disaster preparedness, planning, and management. Hurricane Katrina demonstrated the usefulness of websites in dealing with a natural disaster. However, little is known about the necessary contents and structures of web-based information management for natural disaster preparation. In this paper, we focus on developing the ontology structure of elements for web-based disaster management systems. We provide a comprehensive review of the existing semi-structured data representation technologies and select the appropriate set for developing and representing the ontology structure. Web elements are identified based on the grounded theory approach using an inventory of 100 non-profit disaster websites and their numerous webpages. The selected technologies are used to organize the ontology structure and the results are coded into a web-based system tool (WB-OS) that makes the ontology structure accessible on the web. Such ontology structure of web elements is utilized to evaluate the quality and completeness of current websites

Introduction: To cope with natural and unnatural critical events such as air crashes, car accidents, chemicals and earthquakes or floods needs powerful resource management. Some of these critical events are tiny and by using local and available resources management could be resolved, but some cover extended geographical areas and so need a massive, vast resources and high level management for e...

Manual data collection and entry is one of the bottlenecks in conventional disaster management information systems. Time is a critical factor in emergency situations and timely data collection and processing may help in saving several lives. An effective disaster management system needs to collect data from World Wide Web automatically. A prerequisite for data collection process is document cla...

Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...
