Abstract
The requirements and an initial architecture for supporting the analysis of social media contents in emergency management tools are discussed. The use of social media to improve emergency maps and to support early warning is discussed, and the emerging requirements are outlined. The proposed architecture is designed to support enhanced Emergency Copernicus services, as proposed in the European project E2mC (Evolution of Emergency Copernicus services). In the project a Witness component is going to be developed, to support social media monitoring and analysis and federated crowdsourcing.
This work is partially based on the E2mC project proposal. The authors acknowledge the contribution of all partners, and in particular of e-GEOS SpA.
