“…In the same way, we also reviewed the literature to acquire relevant knowledge and to get a broader view of the needs and requirements for the creation of an ontology (i.e., SBEO). In particular, the studies reported in: [58,15,28,40,10,32,7,2,37], represent the systems and/or models for indoor route recommendation during emergency evacuation; [1,55,11], depict crowd management and grouping during hazardous situations using simulated environments; [25], discuss indoor routing for people with special needs; [29], describes building geometry using an ontology; [65,63], define the smart spaces, together with its requirements, and [34,16], discuss some case studies related to the user behaviour during an emergency evacuation in a smart indoor environment.…”

Semantically rich depiction of the concepts for context-aware indoor routing brings appealing benefits for the safety of occupants of smart spaces in emergency evacuation. In this paper, we propose Smart Building Evacuation Ontology (SBEO3), a reusable ontology for indoor spaces, based on three different data models: user, building, and context. We provide a common representation of indoor routing and navigation, describe users? characteristics and preferences, grouping of individuals and their role in a specific context, hazards, and emergency evacuation. Among other characteristics, we consider abilities of individuals, safety and accessibility of spaces related to each person, intensity, impact, and severity of an emergency event or activity. SBEO is flexible and compatible with other ontologies of its domain, including SEAS, SSN/SOSA, SEMA4A, and empathi. We evaluate SBEO based on several metrics demonstrating that it addresses the information needs for the context-aware route recommendation system for emergency evacuation in indoor spaces. In the end, a simulation-based application example exploits SBEO using Context-Aware Emergency Evacuation Software (CAREE).
