Earthquake is one of the three earthquake work systems in China, already achieving good results in some earthquake situations. Earthquake plans and emergency command systems are among the most important research and operations components of emergency . These components commonly come with challenges, such as the pertinence of emergency commands and the operability of the countermeasures to be improved. The promise for solving this problem resides with applying knowledge that aids intelligence creation for decision-making. In this paper, we put forward a conceptual model of knowledge for earthquake disaster emergency response (EDER); compositions of EDER knowledge are introduced within architecture. A modeling method incorporating geo-ontology is used to build basic modeling primitives. Geo-ontology serves to represent geospatial characteristics of the EDER knowledge and addresses a for semantic in the modeling process. A decision problem framework and a case study have been used as theoretical framework and an application test, respectively, to evaluate the EDER knowledge architecture and models. The EDER knowledge model provides a foundation for intelligent emergency response that helps solve knowledge problems to improve earthquake disaster response.

Summary

A decision problem framework and a case study have been used as theoretical framework and an application test, respectively, to evaluate the EDER knowledge architecture and models.Together, they provide an of the knowledge architecture and corresponding models, including whether and how the architecture and models can be used for the EDER representation.Our case study example ‘Estimation of earthquake influence area and possible heavy area’ focuses on a complex decision problem as mentioned in Table 1.
