New ontology aims to unify crisis management knowledge representation

Researchers have developed the European Crisis Management Ontology (ECMO), a modular OWL-based ontology designed for cross-sectoral crisis management and disaster risk reduction. ECMO-CORE establishes fundamental concepts like hazard, impact, and response, while domain-specific modules, such as one for public health aligned with SNOMED CT and ICD-11, are also included. The ontology was used to represent data from the Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources system, demonstrating its capability to support consistent knowledge representation and integration for crisis response. AI

IMPACT This ontology could improve the integration and consistency of data for crisis management systems.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains a research paper detailing a new ontology. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=0.4]
