17. Outlook Disaster phenomenon is the combined effect of the natural environment on human kind, the related elements are complex and intricate. The related information almost involves all kind of data, so it is urgent to link open data for disaster research which call for cooperation between multi-discipline agencies. I need help from field expert for the knowledge base building and inference rules of hydrological data & meteorological data as well as socio-economic data. Also welcome suggestions on the inference ontology construction.
