Victim Management Ontology

Active Shooter Events

Ontology Notes1. What is the ontology for?

This ontology is for the development of a Victim Management System for Active Shooter Events.

2. Who will use it?I will use it to develop the system and hopefully it can be expanded to include other types of mass casualty events. The system has the potential to be used by responding agencies during extreme events

3. What are the relevant bodies of data?There are industry standards that are being incorporated into the ontology (SMART Triage, NIMS standards, etc)

4. Are there existing ontologies covering the same, or similar, ground?There are some… Mostly just outside the scope of this proposal.
