Ontology Summit 2022 Planning

Dealing with Disasters

The COVID-19 pandemic as well as other pandemics and disasters have prompted an impressive, worldwide response by governments, industry, and the academic community. Ontologies can play a significant role in search, data description, interoperability and harmonization of the increasingly large data sources that are relevant to disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ontology Summit 2022 examined the overall landscape of disasters and related ontologies. A framework consisting of a set of dimensions was developed to characterize this landscape. The framework was applied to health-related disasters, environmental disasters, as well as aerospace and cyberspace disasters. It was found that there are many cross-domain linkages between different kinds of disasters and that ontologies developed for one kind of disaster can be repurposed for other kinds. A representative sample of projects that have been developing and using ontologies for disaster monitoring and response management is presented to illustrate best practices and lessons learned. The Communiqué ends by presenting the findings and recommendations of the summit.

[12:35] RaviSharma: fires, space debris, another area - janet mentioned.

[12:36] RaviSharma: Cybersecurity - Janet and Ram

[12:37] Gary BC: The KnowWhereGraph (KWG), intend to generalize and broaden a scaffolding for disasters.

They are building an Ontology intended to support some INITIAL Use Cases with respect to

1) assessing wildfire impacts on crops (initially within the USA, and focused on smoke damage) 2) emergency relief responses to disasters, initially involving hurricanes in the SE USA.

This means that they are having to locate and triplify the raw datasets that are relevant to support our highly focused Use Cases

[12:37] RaviSharma: from Doug Miles: https://www.academia.edu/42279929/Compiling_CDC_WHO_etc_COVID_19_Recommendations_into_Interactive_Behavior_Trees_Accessed_Via_Cell_Phone_DRAFT_1

[12:41] Ken Baclawski: Speakers in linguistics

[12:41] RaviSharma: Depending on focus, say atmospheric, we can find more speakers.
