“…The best examples are the public Wi-Fi stations installed in many café or convenience stores.  Mobile Assistants for Disasters (MAD) [7] or similar VR client applications: these applications may search and retrieve disaster mitigation and response information under the control of TIBS information flow traceability and use accountability services. Functional architecture of virtual repository (VR).…”

“…Users who want to obtain similar information outside of the emergency situations should do so via regular venues. Consequently, among the four components of Weitzner's Information Accountability Framework [7], policy specification and policy reasoning tools shall be rather straightforward to implement: the policy specification should prescribe the space/time limits for legitimate use of disseminated information while the policy reasoning tools should prevent the spread of information beyond those limits. The challenges lie with the detection of off-limit information use and the backtracking of information flow by means of transaction logs in order to hold the culprits accountable for their acts.…”

Availability and timeliness of relevant information is of paramount importance during disaster response. Structural and situational information should be made available lavishly to decision makers, field workers, victims, even the general public provided that it would be possible to track down potential abuses. The trustworthy emergency information brokerage service (TIBS) described in this paper was developed based on such a conviction. This pervasive information flow control system offers information desensitization, flow traceability and use accountability services in two separate phases of disaster management: (1) in the preparatory phase, a prospective P-TIBS subsystem will provide information filtering and fusion tools that can help resource owners to desensitize organizational/structural information and store them in a virtual repository deployed pervasively on many points of service (POS); (2) during the disaster responsive phase, a retrospective R-TIBS subsystem will lease the desensitized information and offer information flow traceability as well as use accountability services according to pre-specified information release and accountability policies. This accountability approach will be more scalable and responsive than the "breakthe-glass" access control overriding mechanism available in many hospital information systems as it alleviates the need to authenticate individual users and authorize their emergency information access. This paper provides an overview of the TIBS system architecture and the enabling technology it employs.

“…These services monitor the authorized information sources where the specified types of alerts and warnings are posted (or published) and notify ADAST when a specified alert is found (or received). Details on the structure, components and operations of ADAST are omitted since they are unimportant to our discussion here and can be found in [9].…”

Despite their commonly acknowledged advantages, adoption of LD and LOD within disaster management IT infrastructures has been slow.…”

Nowadays, developed regions in the world, including Taiwan, have a wealth of data and information, which if made available in time for disaster preparedness and response purposes, can help save lives and minimize damage. With a few exceptions, however, state-of-the-art data management information systems (DMIS) available in most countries do not provide adequate support for search, discovery, access and use of data and information residing in independent sources across institutional boundaries. This paper describes architecture and design of a distributed middleware-level framework, called Virtual Repository (VR), together with functionalities and structures of its key components. By leveraging linked data and related technologies and tools, VR aims to eliminate this limitation. Two applications, Mobile Assistant for Disasters (MAD) and Automatic Disaster Alert System for Tourists (ADAST) are described to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of VR

Systematic Mapping of Open Data Studies: Classification and Trends From a Technological Perspective

The objective of this paper is to classify and analyse all research on open data performed in the scientific community from a technological viewpoint, providing a detailed exploration based on six key facets: publication venue, impact, subject, domain, life-cycle phases and type of research. This paper therefore provides a consolidated overview of the open data arena that allows readers to identify well-established topics, trends, and open research issues. Additionally, we provide an extensive qualitative discussion of the most interesting findings to pave the way for future research. Our first identification phase resulted in 893 relevant peer-reviewed articles, published between 2006 and 2019 in a wide variety of venues. Analysis of the results shows that open data research grew slowly from 2006 but increased significantly as from 2009. In 2019, research interest in open data from a technological perspective overall decreased. This fact could indicate that research is beginning to stabilise, i.e., the open data research hype is over, and the research field is reaching maturity. Main findings are (i) increasing effort in researching on Semantic Web technologies as a mechanism to publish and reuse linked open data, (ii) software systems are proposed to solve open data technical problems; and (iii) considering technological aspects of legislation and standardization is needed to widely introduce open data in society. Finally, we provide complementary insights regarding open data innovation projects, with special emphasis on publication (e.g., open data portals) and consumption (e.g., open data as business enabler) of open data.
