“…Among research articles related to risk or emergency management and that advocate using KBs, most rely on the W3C techniques or approach -e.g. the articles of [14] (about ontology-supported rule-based reasoning), of [15] (about ontology-supported access to particular databases) and of [16] (about a small ontology mainly including 38 concept types and 21 subtype relations, about some crisis management procedures). Previous studies into risk/emergency management have not addressed general KS in these domains and are insufficient to address the distributed and large number of potentially useful sources of information for such a management.…”

Many decision-making tasks, including the sustainability-oriented ones and those related to the management of risks or emergencies, must gather, integrate, and analyze an important amount of information of various kinds and origins. Hence, how should information be best organized and shared by agents – people or software – for all and only the pieces of information looked for by these agents to be maximize their retrieval, reuse, organization and analysis by these agents? To that end, various logic-based knowledge representation (KR) and sharing (KS) techniques, and hence KR bases, have been used. However, most KS researchers focus on what this article defines as “restricted KR and KS”, where information providers and consumers can or have to discuss for solving information ambiguities and other problems. The first part of this article highlights the usefulness of “general KR and KS” and, for supporting them, provides a panorama of complementary techniques, and hence, indirectly, best practices or kinds of tools to use for general KS purposes. These techniques collectively answer research questions about how to support Web users in the collaborative building of KR bases. The second part uses the risk/emergency management domain to illustrate the ways different types of information can be represented to support general KS.

“…Many architectures advocated in disaster management related articles, e.g. those of [2] are based on -or related to those of -dis-tributed or federated databases. Extending the classic peer-to-peer protocols by taking into account the ontologies of the component individual KBs is also not scalable: i) this either implies a "database schema based"-like solution (and then the ontologies can hardly be modified) or a centralization mechanism, and ii) this does not address potential implicit redundancies and inconsistencies between KBs.…”

The first part of this article first distinguishes "restricted knowledge representation (KR) and sharing (KS)" and the still seldom researched task of "general KR and KS". This parts then highlights the usefulness of the latter for disaster management, and provides a panorama of complementary techniques supporting it. The research question that these techniques collectively answer is: how to let Web users collaboratively build KBs (KR bases) i) that are not implicitly "partially redundant or inconsistent" internally or with each other, ii) that are complete with respect to certain criteria or subjects, iii) without restricting what the users can enter nor forcing them to agree on terminology or beliefs, and iv) without requiring people to duplicate knowledge in various KBs, or manually search knowledge in various KBs and aggregate knowledge from various KBs? In a second part, this article shows the way various kinds of disaster management related information can be categorized or represented for general KS purposes, e.g. terminologies and information objects (these objects are rarely represented via KRs; examples about Search & Rescue procedures are given).
