Many groups have done this type of practitioner survey. I am currently involved in one such effort here in the US, and I imagine similar international work has been done in the past. I think it would be more valuable to do a comprehensive review the existing work and tease out of that the information infrastructure required to interoperate with semantic web technologies. I would start with the OASIS Emergency Management TC's work: https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=emergency --- Raj The OGC: Making location count. http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/organization/staff/rsingh On Apr 25, at 12:32 PM, Carsten Kessler <carsten.kessler@hunter.cuny.edu> wrote: > Hi Bart, > > I think this is a great idea.
