Abstract

Crisis situations influencing human lives require fast and faultless solutions. Decision making during emergency incidents is burdened with high uncertainty, complexity and risks. These situations can be effectively solved on the basis of complex knowledge that is received during education, training and experience. Non-professional rescuers often have a problem to decide which steps in which order have to be done in case of injured persons. Education of non-professionals is crucial and inevitable because of saving human lives. The main aim of the paper is to present the OWL ontology-based education support prototype using SWRL rules suggesting suitable solutions for particular emergency incident.
