A Semantic Mobile Web Application for Radiation Safety in Contaminated Areas
Résumé
After a nuclear disaster, people living in contaminated areas encounter numerous questions concerning the risk they face and how to reduce it. In this paper, we present a mobile web application designed to facilitate knowledge sharing amongst the affected population. The system allows querying and browsing a base of documents gathered both by experts and through crowdsourcing. The information needs are modeled as set of use-cases, starting from existing reports on the long-term radiation safety. A semantic search engine is used to retrieve the resources annotated with a thesaurus of the concepts relevant to long-term radiation safety. The application is part of a larger crisis monitoring and management system, which also includes social media aspect-based emotion and sentiment analysis.
