Emergency Case Ontology Model and its Application in Earthquake Disaster

Abstract:

In the field of emergency decision support, emergency cases play an important role. Cases’ formal expression is the premise of case application. In this reason, this article mainly researched the construction of emergency case-base, and brings up an emergency case ontology model based on procedure description. Used three-level ontology structure to describe the cases’ attributes information. Otherwise, this model can record and describe the emergency’s procedures completely by adding the descriptions of development process and response process. Finally, we used the 2009 Yaoan Canton Yunnan Province earthquake response case to verify the model.
