Ontology definition and cognitive analysis in ocupational health and security (OHS) environments

“…Data fusion has been defined in [33] as "a multi-level process dealing with the association, correlation, combination of data and information from single and multiple sources to achieve refined position, identify estimates and complete and timely assessments of situations, threats and their significance". Data fusion (DF) and information fusion (IF) has been treated similarly in literature but when talking about data fusion is because it represents raw data, and when referring to information fusion, is because it implies a higher semantic level of fusion.…”

“…Others classifications are proposed: Dasarathy's Functional Model [13] or JDL conceptual model proposed by the American Department of Defense [33]. The JDL classification model consists into five processing levels in the transformation of input signals to decision-ready knowledge.…”

Integration of Diagnostics into Ground Equipment Study. Volume 2

“…The data fusion community has developed a data fusion process model [62], a data fusion lexicon [94], and engineering guidelines for system development [83]. While a significant amount of progress has been made (Hall and Llinas [43], [44]), much work remains to be done.…”

“…The JDL Data Fusion Working Group was established in 1986 to assist in coordinating DoD activities in data fusion, and to improve communications among different DoD research and development groups. Led by Frank White (NOSC), the JDL working group performed a number of activities including; (1) development of a data fusion process model9, (2) creation of a lexicon for data fusion [94], (3) development of engineering guidelines for building data fusion systems [83], and (4) The JDL model is a two layer hierarchical model that identifies fusion processes, processing functions and processing techniques to accomplish the functions. The model was intended for communications among data fusion researchers and implementation engineers, rather than a prescription for implementing a fusion system or an exhaustive enumeration of fusion functions and techniques.…”
