| Zusammenfassung |
| Emergency management becomes more challenging in international crisis
episodes because of cultural, semantic and linguistic differences between all
stakeholders, especially first responders. Misunderstandings between first
responders makes decision making slower and more difficult. However, spread
and development of networks and IT-based emergency management systems (EMSs)
have improved emergency responses, which have become more coordinated. Despite
improvements made in recent years, EMSs have not still solved problems related
to cultural, semantic and linguistic differences which are the real cause of
slower decision making. In addition, from a technical perspective, the
consolidation of current EMSs and the different formats used to exchange
information offers another problem to be solved in any solution proposed for
information interoperability between heterogeneous EMSs in
different contexts. To overcome these problems, we present a software solution
based on semantic and mediation technologies. EMERGency ELements (EMERGEL)
(Fundacion CTIC and AntwortING Ingenieurbüro PartG, 2013), a common and
modular ontology shared by all the stakeholders, has been defined. It offers
the best solution to gather all stakeholders' knowledge in a unique and
flexible data model, taking into account different countries' cultural and
linguistic issues. To deal with the diversity of data protocols and formats,
we have designed a service-oriented architecture for data interoperability
(named DISASTER: Data Interoperability Solution At STakeholders Emergency Reaction) providing a flexible extensible solution to solve the
mediation issues. Web services have been adopted as specific technology to
implement this paradigm that has the most significant academic and industrial
visibility and attraction. Contributions of this work have been validated
through the design and development of a cross-border realistic prototype
scenario, actively involving both emergency managers and emergency-first
responders: the Netherlands–Germany border fire. |
