Paper Abstract:
|
As social media services are on the rise, people increasingly share information about emergencies on social media. Sometimes information about disasters even finds its way faster to social media websites than it reaches regular news companies and emergency services. Yet emergency services still have not found a way to put this potential to an effective use. Within our project “EmerGent”, we are developing a system for emergency services to process and analyse information from social media. The aim is to transform the high volume of noisy data into a low volume of rich content that is useful to emergency personnel. To achieve this goal, it is important to understand both, the nature of social media, and emergency services as the target domain. Hence, we decided to design an ontology that covers the fields of social media and emergency management (SMEM). In this paper, we explain the steps we took during the development process of the ontology and the structure of the ontology itself. |
