Forest fires can have devastating effects on the environment, communities, individuals, economy, and climate change in many countries. During a forest fire crisis, massive amounts of data, such as weather patterns and soil conditions, become available. Efficient management, intelligent integration, and processing the available information in order to extract useful insights and knowledge to facilitate advanced whereas and support human operators and authorities in a real operational scenario is a challenge. In this work, we present ONTO-SAFE, an ontology-based framework for wildfire events, adopting Semantic Web technologies for data integration and infusion of domain and background knowledge. More specifically, the framework creates a unified representation of the available assets, taking into account data generated from different sources, such as sensors, weather forecasts, earth observations, etc. To this end, previously existing ontologies and standards are used, such as Empathi and EmergencyFire ontology, to provide the conceptual model and the necessary level of abstraction in the form of interconnected knowledge graphs to satisfy the modeling requirements. On top of the generated knowledge graphs, a declarative framework extracts facts and higher-level inferred knowledge from asserted data to support users in decision making. In addition, the framework supports the generation of recommendations, such as sharing important wildfire information with citizens and professionals, that can be adjusted based on user-defined factors and the current disaster risk management phase.
Participation in the labor market is seen as the most important factor favoring long-term integration of migrants and refugees into society. This paper describes the job recommendation framework of the Integration of Migrants MatchER SErvice (IMMERSE). The proposed framework acts as a matching tool that enables the contexts of individual migrants and refugees, including their expectations, languages, educational background, previous job experience and skills, to be captured in the ontology and facilitate their matching with the job opportunities available in their host country. Profile information and job listings are processed in real time in the back-end, and matches are revealed in the front-end. Moreover, the matching tool considers the activity of the users on the platform to provide recommendations based on the similarity among existing jobs that they already showed interest in and new jobs posted on the platform. Finally, the framework takes into account the location of the users to rank the results and only shows the most relevant location-based recommendations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
