A New Application for Description Logics: Disaster Management.
Martina Grathwohl, François de Bertrand de Beuvron, François Rousselot · 1999
By presenting a description logic model of the high water protection plan of Heidelberg we demonstrate that description logics are an appropriate tool for supporting the management of natural disasters. The model enables testing its consistency, assessing disaster situations by means of realization, and retrieving situation-dependent activities. Finally, we discuss the remaining problems on which we will work in the future.
