Abstract

In the era of World Wide Web, dependency has been increasing on real-time response, communication, disaster preparedness, and analysis by our society, experts from different areas including paramedics, risk management team, police, and firefighters. To ensure real-time response, appropriate information retrieval, expediting undertaking and response preparation and handling communiqué with all involved parties, there is a requirement of digitizing the resources, concepts semantically along with exploiting the information embedded in multimedia content. We also know that ontology has been proven the excellent mean of digitization. So through this paper, we propose a multimedia-driven disaster management ontology, featuring a different representation scheme integrating the multimedia content. This will offer semantic analysis and interoperability across heterogeneous multimedia data sources, hence facilitating in real-time disaster management.
