A Framework for the Data Integration of Earthquake Events

Recently, data integration has attracted increasing interest from different research domains. In most situations, data integration systems are provided for users to access homogeneous data from a set of private databases. However, open and public databases provide access through the internet. To make better use of data, we need to integrate the data from different data sources. This situation is also true in regard to earthquake event data. Thus, to solve such problems, in this paper, we provided a framework that integrates the earthquake-related information published on different websites. The most important aspect is how to determine which disaster events are the same. The main work in this paper consists of identifying the data entities from different data sources. The application is based on the integration of online data on earthquake events from different websites. By integrating the data from different data sources, we can spend less time sorting the data, and we can more quickly complete the next steps faster, such as data analysis and the development of disaster relief strategies.
