Time Analysis Model in Semantic Context of Emergency Management

Abstract

In the context of emergency management, where information comes from heterogeneous, complex and dynamic sources, decision making is required to be assertive and within a timely interval of time. Time has great relevance, being fundamental in the domain of this context, because it is creating a timeline, that is to say during it, the perception and comprehension of all the characteristics of a situation becomes viable. The quality of information becomes indispensable in the context of emergency management, mainly by dynamic and complex factors. This work aims to improve the informational processes of information retrieval through the creation of a model of temporal analysis in the semantic context. The nature of this work is qualitative, of theoretical-applied purpose and exploratory, and its methodology involving fire emergency situations, in which it was possible to evaluate the behavior of information quality and infer new temporal knowledge that may serve as inputs for making more assertive decisions.
