Guiding the building occupants under fire emergency to a safe place is an open research problem, and finding solutions to address the problem requires a perfect knowledge of the fire building evacuation domain. The use of ontologies to model knowledge of a domain allows a common and shared understanding of that domain, between people and heterogeneous systems. This paper presents an ontology that aims to build a knowledge model to understand the referred domain better and help develop more capable building evacuation solutions and systems. The herein proposed ontology considers the different variables and actors involved in the fire building evacuation process. We followed the Methontology methodology for its developing, and we present all the development steps, from the specification to its implementation with the Protégé tool.

“…Concerning the expected use of ontology, the ontological model proposed here inherits from [2] the ability to strengthen and consolidate knowledge about building evacuation under fire emergencies. In addition, however, it adds the knowledge needed to support the development of evacuation solutions capable of guiding the occupants of a building in a fire emergency, such as the one we are developing and studying in the context of our PhD research work [1].…”

“…However, developing those solutions requires a deep knowledge of the building evacuation domain, which we can achieve by developing an ontological model. The motivation for this research work falls within the scope of our ongoing PhD thesis, which aims to propose and evaluate a multi-agent recommender system for real-time guiding the occupants to a safe place [1]. The system supports its development on an ontological model that considers the interoperability between the different actors involved in an evacuation route recommendation process, allowing a thorough knowledge of the domain.…”

Guiding the occupants of a building to a safe place is an area of research that deserves the attention of researchers. Finding solutions for the problem of guiding the building occupants requires a perfect knowledge of the fire building evacuation domain. The use of ontologies to model the knowledge of a domain allows a common and shared understanding of that domain. This paper presents an ontology that has the purpose to deepen the understanding of that domain and help develop building evacuation solutions and systems capable of guiding the occupants during a building evacuation process. The proposed ontology considers the different variables and actors involved in the fire building evacuation process. The ontology development followed the Methontology methodology, and for implementation, the Protégé tool was used. The ontological model was successfully submitted to a thorough evaluation process and is publicly available on the Web.
