Abstract
In this paper a novel approach to development of a Web-based threat information system for citizens is presented. The method assumes a significant role of a domain ontology and Description Logics (DL) reasoning. In order to test this approach a prototype ontology-driven application has been developed. The main objective of the application is to provide real time information for users about threats represented with 2D GIS system. The system integrates a database and an ontology for storing and inferring desired information. While the abstract of traffic danger domain is described by the ontology, the location details of traffic conditions are stored in the database. During run-time the ontology is populated with instances stored in a database and used by a DL reasoner to infer required facts. The paper gives an overview of the system design and implementation.
The research presented in this paper is carried out within the EU FP7 INDECT Project: “Intelligent information system supporting observation, searching and detection for security of citizens in urban environment” ( http://indect-project.eu ).
