Knowledge modelling framework

This paper presents a conceptual knowledge modelling framework that aims at facilitating the decision support functions in the emergency management domain. The EDXL-based group of standards is the most complete approach to address emergency information sharing and data exchange across various actors involved in the process of disaster management. Therefore, it is selected as the central basis of knowledge models to utilise and extend with semantic information models towards enhanced knowledge-level interoperability and more efficient decision making.
