EMO: An Ontology for Supporting the Management of Epidemic

In order to improve the coverage of concepts in epidemic management, this paper constructs an epidemic management ontology EMO to help manage and analyse epidemic data. First, based on the ISO/lEC 5087 city data model series of standards and TOVE method, EMO is constructed using Protégé. Secondly, the data types and their relationships required in the epidemic management use cases are defined. Finally, the instance data help to verify the ability of EMO to represent the city epidemic management data. Results show that EMO provides a clear, accurate and unified definition of epidemic management data, improves the efficiency of data sharing and integration, and reduces the difficulty of developing epidemic management tools.
