“…For representing the perdurant part of domain ontology, a set of concepts based on the concepts of speech act can form a useful foundational ontology [38]. However, the general theory of speech acts covers a wide spectrum of phenomena.…”

“…These concepts of the domain are modeled at the conceptual level, using UML notation. Endurant ontology was modeled by UML class diagrams based on the UFO (Unified Foundational Ontology) foundational ontology [12], whereas perdurant ontology was modeled by UML activity diagrams based on the theory of DEMO (Design and Engineering Methodology for Organizations) [13,14], simplified by UML-based DEMO [38]. These conceptual models of the ontology are then transformed to be represented in the ontology implementation languages.…”

Information management and sharing is an essential ingredient, but a difficult and challenging problem for disaster response management. This paper proposes an ontology as a model to organize and structure information in order to improve the information management and sharing in disaster response management. The ontology was designed and developed based on philosophically grounded foundational ontologies. It was also implemented in ontological languages and demonstrated and evaluated in a case study of the flood evacuation process. This paper also provides a systematic approach to develop a well-founded domain ontology that addresses both static and dynamic aspects of a given domain.

“…Colomb and Ahmad [12] discussed the ontological approach from the perdurant or process perspective. It was expected that a perdurant ontology which resides at the upper layer ontology would be stable and invariant in interoperating activities, which is crucial in the disaster management scenario.…”

Flood management has become a national agenda in Malaysia with heavy rainfall throughout the year lead to the frequent occurrences of flood disaster. The current practice of flood management in Malaysia is unable to effectively harness the fragmented knowledge residing within flood related agencies due to lack of coordination and inefficient knowledge sharing. This paper explores the potential of ontology based knowledge integration framework to establish a governing layer in managing flood knowledge thus improve overall performance and preserve semantic consistence through ontological backbone. 

“…To build such a crisis ontology, many authors such as Colomb and Ahmad (2010) and Silva Parreiras and Staab (2010) have suggested (i) using a UML class model to build the meta-model, and (ii) using an OWL representation language to create the ontology on the basis of a previous meta-model. Silva Parreiras and Staab (2010) even proposed an integrated use of both modelling approaches in a coherent framework.…”

“…The second step of the ontology-building phase consists in transforming the previous knowledge into formal models. To do this, as suggested by Colomb and Ahmad (2010) and Silva Parreiras and Staab (2010), UML class diagrams and OWL have been chosen as ontology representation languages. The third step of the ontologybuilding phase consists in populating the obtained architecture with concrete knowledge.…”

To cite this version:Matthieu Lauras, Sébastien Truptil, Frederick Benaben. Towards a better management of complex emergencies through crisis management meta-modelling. Disasters, Wiley, 2015, 39 (4) Finally, an illustrative example concerning a crash between a tanker truck and a train is described.Keywords: crisis management, knowledge-based reasoning, meta-modelling, ontology Introduction and contribution statementsIn a crisis context (such as a natural crisis, crash, conflict, industrial accident), different actors from different organisations (medical units, police, non-governmental organisations) have to work simultaneously and in a hurry. Thus, they need not only to coordinate their objectives and their actions, but also share parts of their resources, information and processes in order to achieve a common goal (according to the people, goods and infrastructures in danger). In this context, the integration of partners is a crucial step to successful crisis reduction. Our aim is to propose a solution to this need of integration of partners by means of knowledge sharing.One main challenge regarding the management of complex emergencies is that it has to adapt to the inevitable changes in the nature of the crisis and remain dedicated to the-possibly changing-group of partners involved in working on the crisis. This raises several issues, such as how to coordinate stakeholders, but above all it requires the definition of a common universe of discourse (in the crisis domain), which is essential to solving the various semantic conflicts that are bound to occur between the participants and their information systems. was to provide partners involved in crisis situations with an information technology interoperability system able to federate their respective heterogeneous and autonomous information systems into a global system of systems acting to reduce the crisis through an adequate collaborative process.In the following pages we first draw up a crisis-ontology state-of-the-art and explore the concepts of ontological engineering. This leads us to propose an original crisis meta-model that extends the limits of previous works and can be used to design and control future response solutions. We then develop an application case to illustrate the dimensions of our proposal and to discuss its advantages and limits.Finally, we present conclusions and discuss opportunities for further research.
