This paper describes how semantic interoperability can be achieved in emergency management domain where different organizations in different domains should communicate through a number of distinct standards to manage crises and disasters effectively. To achieve this goal, a common ontology is defined as lingua franca and standard content models are mapped one by one to the ontology. Then, information represented in one standard is converted to another according to the mappings and exchanged between parties.

Enhancing content management systems with semantic capabilities
Gönül, Suat; Çiçekli Kesim, Nihan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
Content Management Systems (CMS) generally store data in a way that the content is distributed among several relational database tables or stored in files as a whole without any distinctive characteristics. These storage mechanisms cannot provide the management of semantic information about the data. They lack semantic retrieval, search and browsing of the stored content. To enhance non-semantic CMSes with advanced semantic features, the semantics within the CMS itself and additional semantic information re...
Semantic Annotation of Web Services with Lexicon-Based Alignment
Cantürk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar (2011-07-04)
As the number of available web services published in registries and on web sites increases, web service discovery becomes a challenging task. One solution to the problem is to use distributed web service search system composed of domain specific sub service discoverers. Using ontology is the most common practice to specify domain knowledge. However, an important problem at this point is the lack of semantic annotation for currently available web services. For this reason, there is a strong need for a mechan...
Enhanced semantic operations for web service composition
Kardas, Karani; Karagöz, Pınar (2007-11-09)
In service composition, service discovery and combining suitable services through determination of interoperability among different services are important operations. Utilizing semantics improves the quality and facilitates automation of these operations. There are several previous approaches for semantic service discovery and service matching. In this work we exploit and extend these semantic approaches in order to make web service composition process more facilitated, less error prone and more automated. ...
Using a Luhmannian perspective for earthquake resilience
Rittersberger, Helga İda (Emerald, 2019-6-3)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to interpret Luhmann's Social Systems Theory to discuss disaster resilience, and use its functional method for creating local organizational inventories to support the trend of integration in Turkey's disaster management system. For this, the authors used a case study from Duzce province in 2013, investigating the organizational aftermath of two major earthquakes in 1999. Design/methodology/approach A purposive sample of local associations in city center of Duzce prov...
Data interoperability through federated semantic metadata registries
Sınacı, Ali Anıl; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
In this study, a unified methodology together with the supporting framework for the problem of data interoperability is introduced which brings together the power of metadata registries and semantic web technologies. A federated architecture of semantic metadata registries which are purely based on ISO/IEC 11179 standard leads to the Linked Open Data integration of data element repositories where each element can be uniquely identified, referenced and processed to enable the syntactic and semantic interoper...
