Approaches on how to analyse terms and definitions applied in the domain of crisis and disaster management

摘要: In international crisis and disaster management seamless exchange of information between involved stakeholders is considered as one of the most important requirements. For this purpose, interoperability at different levels needs to be achieved, encompassing semantic interoperability. Mutual understanding of actors is imperative for successful operations. In order to support enhancement of such developments, a CEN Workshop Agreement on Terminologies in Crisis and Disaster Management was started in 2017. This paper presents a methodology developed by this initiative on how to analyse and compare terms and definitions from different terminologies.
