Emergency Decision of Meteorological Disasters: a Geo-Ontology Based Perspective

Abstract

In view of geographical characteristics of meteorological disaster system, in this paper, we proposed a geo-ontology based model which is supposed to formally conceptualize the domain terms and establish the relationships between those concepts. Resort to the object-oriented analysis and design method, the class hierarchy and relationships between them is implemented finally at top-level, domain-level/task-level, application-level. The multi-level ontological model provides a universal foundation for knowledge representation of emergency management of meteorological disasters, which possesses some characteristics of flexibility, extensibility, compatibility. In future work, we will elaborate and implement the proposed geo-ontology model. This work will underlie the semantic integration among human beings, between heterogeneous systems and between human beings and systems and enable advanced emergency decision.
