Ontology-Based Rescue Operation Management

  • Conference paper
Mobile Response (Mobile Response 2008)

Abstract

The focus of this paper is ontology-based knowledge management in the framework of a mobile communication and information system for rescue operation management. We present a novel ontology data service, combining prior domain knowledge about large-scale rescue operations with dynamic information about a developing operation. We also discuss the integration of such a data service into a service-oriented application framework to reach high performance and accessibility, and offer examples of SHARE applications to demonstrate the practical benefits of the approach chosen.
