An ontology for cross-sectoral crisis management: core and public health modules

The paper introduces the European Crisis Management Ontology (ECMO), an OWL-based modular ontology designed to serve as a cross‑sectoral reference for disaster risk reduction and response. ECMO-CORE contains core crisis management concepts such as hazard, event, exposure, impact, and response measure, employing ontology design patterns and OWL2 punning to clarify ambiguities. Domain‑specific modules, including a public health module aligned with SNOMED CT and ICD‑11, extend the ontology; a demonstration shows ECMO can transform unstructured epidemiological news into a compliant knowledge graph, illustrating its potential for consistent knowledge integration.

Verifiable Disaster Storylines and Causal Knowledge Graphs: A Citation-Grounded Pipeline from Heterogeneous Humanitarian Sources

The paper introduces a pipeline that merges structured disaster records from EM‑DAT with unstructured documents from ReliefWeb and the European Media Monitor to generate source‑grounded disaster storylines and causal knowledge graphs. Using Retrieval‑Augmented Generation, it produces tabular event profiles covering 17 fields and builds causal graphs enriched with citation‑grounded explanatory narratives, allowing traceability to primary sources. Human evaluation across three crisis cases shows high retrieval precision, strong faithfulness of causal relations, and a clear expert preference for citation‑grounded components over ungrounded ones.

H2: A Dual Hybrid Semantic Data Lake Architecture for Medical Data Harmonization with Human-In-the-Loop verified, LLM Driven Metadata Annotation System

arXiv:2608. 08056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical data, by its nature, exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity on multiple levels ranging from (a) different modalities like images, text and time series, (b) diverse tabular schemata introduced by institutions and (c) completely unstructured textual information data provided by healthcare professionals.

EvoOntology: A Self-Evolving Ontology Layer for Data Agents

EvoOntology introduces a self‑evolving ontology layer for data agents, encapsulating the ontology as an MCP server with schema, content, and tool layers. It enables agents to query and interact with the ontology at runtime, using a builder agent for autonomous construction and a self‑evolution loop that refines the ontology through attribution‑guided edits validated by backbone‑conditional evaluation. Experiments on three data‑agent benchmarks with four LLM backbones show that EvoOntology consistently outperforms strong baselines and existing semantic‑layer approaches, effectively bridging the agent‑data gap for heterogeneous data.

Ontology-supported AI Model and Dataset Management

The paper introduces an ontology-supported platform designed to facilitate the exchange, usage, and analysis of AI models and datasets. It addresses the need for effective management of AI assets in industrial settings by providing a structured framework that reduces semantic gaps. A real‑time critical systems use case demonstrates the platform’s practical utility.

DisCTI: Who Needs to Know Timely? Automated Sector-Aware Cyber Threat Intelligence Dissemination

The paper introduces DisCTI, a system that automatically maps cyber threat intelligence (CTI) events to relevant industry sectors using a multilabel classification approach. By creating a dataset of 872 sector‑labelled CTI events and applying a BERT transformer model, the authors achieve a macro‑averaged F1‑score of 0.89, correctly assigning 94.5% of sector labels. This demonstrates that embedding expert knowledge into machine learning can enable timely, sector‑aware CTI dissemination, improving defensive response.

A Reusable Semantic Web Framework for Evidence-Grounded Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments under the EU AI Act

The paper introduces a reusable Semantic Web framework that aggregates fragmented evidence needed for Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments under the EU AI Act, focusing on high‑risk public sector categories such as employment and worker management and access to essential public services. A curated 150‑record corpus is annotated across four axes and serialized into a SPARQL‑queryable knowledge graph of 1,351 RDF triples, enabling five demonstration scenarios that retrieve 103 records (68.7% coverage). Evaluation against a 69‑record gold standard shows that LLM‑assisted classification in the employment domain yields a low κ of 0.045, highlighting challenges in automated fairness‑related evidence retrieval, while all artefacts are released openly for regulators, authorities, and SMEs.
