  Title Emergency information Synthesis and awareness using E-SOS Type Conference Article
  Year 2008 Publication Proceedings of ISCRAM 2008 – 5th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2008  
  Volume Issue Pages 618-623  
  Keywords Human computer interaction; Information management; Information science; Information systems; Web services; Websites; Awareness tool; Cognitive overload; Emergency Response Information Systems; Information synthesis; Information visualization; User centered designs; Systems engineering  
  Abstract In an emergency, people need to be able to report and find relevant information quickly. Fulfilling these information needs is the design goal of E-SOS: Emergency Situation Overview and Synthesis, a research project in progress. E-SOS will consist of (1) a website where users can report information, (2) web services that find and synthesize related information from multiple sources, and (3) interface tools that visualize and display links to this information. In this paper we describe three of these services and tools: the topic, geographic, and information space awareness tools. When a user writes a report, the topic awareness tool will execute a federated search and display links to related information. The information space awareness tool will highlight these links in a visualization of the information space. If the user refers to a location, the geographic awareness tool will focus a map on this location and display topic-related icons.

  Title Using architectures for semantic interoperability to create journal clubs for emergency response Type Conference Article
  Year 2009 Publication ISCRAM 2009 – 6th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management: Boundary Spanning Initiatives and New Perspectives Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2009  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Digital libraries; Information systems; Interoperability; Xml; Emergency response; Journal clubs; Rdf/Xml; Resource description framework; Semantic information; Semantic interoperability; Emergency services  
  Abstract In certain types of “slow burn” emergencies, careful accumulation and evaluation of information can offer a crucial advantage. The SARS outbreak in the first decade of the 21st century was such an event, and ad hoc journal clubs played a critical role in assisting scientific and technical responders in identifying and developing various strategies for halting what could have become a dangerous pandemic. This research-in-progress paper describes a process for leveraging emerging semantic web and digital library architectures and standards to (1) create a focused collection of bibliographic metadata, (2) extract semantic information, (3) convert it to the Resource Description Framework /Extensible Markup Language (RDF/XML), and (4) integrate it so that scientific and technical responders can share and explore critical information in the collections.

  Title Reducing information overload in emergencies by detecting themes in web content Type Conference Article
  Year 2008 Publication Proceedings of ISCRAM 2008 – 5th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2008  
  Volume Issue Pages 101-107  
  Keywords Information retrieval; Information retrieval systems; Information systems; Internet; Knowledge management; Disaster response; Emergency information; Information overloads; Unstructured texts; Web content; Web crawl; Websites  
  Abstract Information on the Web has become increasingly important in disaster response. Yet much of this information is redundant. We are creating a suite of electronic knowledge management (eKM) tools that can be used to reduce by an order of magnitude the information that people need to read in order to gain and maintain awareness of web content during emergencies. In this paper, we describe research-in-progress on developing these tools and applying them to web content from organizations' websites and individuals' blogs. Results so far indicate that organizations' websites and individuals' blogs provide redundant coverage of general issues and that each provides additional information about specific issues. By using the tools we are developing, responders and victims will be able to quickly gather an overview of general issues derived from many websites, then learn more about specific issues by navigating to a few websites.
