توسعه یک پایگاه دانش برای تجزیه و تحلیل حوادث فرایندی

Background and aims:  One of the most applicable methods in the accident investigation process is utilizing the previously occurred accidents. Usually these data are collected in the databases. The customary databases have some limitations like inability to understand the relations among data. In the current study, it has been considered to provide a sound resource for accident investigation, besides the collecting the domain knowledge. Methods:  Through analyzing the occurred accidents, their associated knowledge was obtained. After that the gathered data were transferred into the protégé framework software. The ontology approach was employed to create the interested knowledge base. Results:  The proposed knowledge base makes it possible to explore and determine the related factors to the process accidents. Also this knowledge base facilitates the semantic search among the main concepts related to the occurred accident. Conclusion:  Utilizing knowledge bases could facilitate and enhance the analyzing process and identifying the related root causes. Also this application would provide a possibility for redesign and implementing the interventions.
