Abstract(s)
Guiding the occupants of a building to a safe place is an area of research that deserves the attention of researchers. Finding solutions for the problem of guiding the building occupants requires a perfect knowledge of the fire
building evacuation domain. The use of ontologies to model the knowledge of a
domain allows a common and shared understanding of that domain. This paper
presents an ontology that has the purpose to deepen the understanding of that
domain and help develop building evacuation solutions and systems capable of
guiding the occupants during a building evacuation process. The proposed ontology considers the different variables and actors involved in the fire building evacuation process. The ontology development followed the Methontology methodology, and for implementation, the Protégé tool was used. The ontological model
was successfully submitted to a thorough evaluation process and is publicly available on the Web.
