On the Use of Semantic Web Technologies for Forest Fire Emergencies in Resilient Societies

This short paper presents work in progress for the semantic representation and integration of information in the SAFERS framework. More specifically, SAFERS is an H2020 project that aims to support intelligent decision making of wildfire scenarios, intervening at critical points in the emergency management cycle. Semantic Web technologies, such as OWL 2, are extensively employed in the framework to semantically represent the available information and best practices in crisis management, fostering advanced linking and interpretation mechanisms for decision-making solutions to support human operators and authorities.
