| Summary: | Disasters, whether natural or human-made, leave
a lasting impact on human lives and require mitigation measures.
In the past, millions of human beings lost their lives and
properties in disasters. Information and Communication
Technology provides many solutions. The issue of so far
developed disaster management systems is their inefficiency in
semantics that causes failure in producing dynamic inferences.
Here comes the role of semantic web technology that helps to
retrieve useful information. Semantic web-based intelligent and
self-administered framework utilizes XML, RDF, and ontologies
for a semantic presentation of data. The ontology establishes
fundamental rules for data searching from the unstructured
world, i.e., the World Wide Web. Afterward, these rules are
utilized for data extraction and reasoning purposes. Many
disaster-related ontologies have been studied; however, none
conceptualizes the domain comprehensively. Some of the domain
ontologies intend for the precise end goal like the disaster plans.
Others have been developed for the emergency operation center
or the recognition and characterization of the objects in a
calamity scene. A few ontologies depend on upper ontologies that
are excessively abstract and are exceptionally difficult to grasp
by the individuals who are not conversant with theories of the
upper ontologies. The present developed semantic web-based
disaster trail management ontology almost covers all vital facets
of disasters like disaster type, disaster location, disaster time,
misfortunes including the causalities and the infrastructure loss,
services, service providers, relief items, and so forth. The
objectives of this research were to identify the requirements of a
disaster ontology, to construct the ontology, and to evaluate the
ontology developed for Disaster Trail Management. The ontology
was assessed efficaciously via competency questions; externally
by the domain experts and internally with the help of SPARQL
queries. |
