Ever since there were two languages for communication. ;-) Rather than attempting to choose (or force) a choice of an ontology, I would suggest creating a topic map to provide an integration layer over diverse data. That allows users to work with systems most familiar to them, which should allow them to get underway more quickly as well as more accurately. While allowing for integration of diverse sources. Besides, as the relief effort evolves, things not contemplated at the outset are going arise. Topic maps can easily adapt to include such information. Hope you are having a great day!
