Abstract
Disaster management requires that various geospatial data producers and users collaborate in an ad hoc manner, despite their different backgrounds and contexts. While semantic interoperability is meant to support meaningful sharing of geospatial data, semantic interoperability approaches that were designed for static and closed environments, or that do not address the particularities of geospatial data, are not suitable for supporting disaster management. In this paper, we present the Real-Time-CPAR prototype for enabling real time semantic interoperability in ad hoc network of geospatial databases that can answer the needs of disaster management. The prototype comprises four main services for discovering coalitions of geospatial databases; semantic enrichment; semantic reconciliation of heterogeneous databases and propagation of geospatial queries. We demonstrate how this tool can contribute to disaster management.
