The Sahana project has been around for some time and it seems to be
the best Open Source Disaster Management Software available out there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahana_FOSS_Disaster_Management_System
They recently moved a from PHP to Python/web2py and renamed it SahanaPy.
I do not know much more but the guy in charge of development is Fran
Boon <[email protected]>.
A student of mine worked on the linked data extension for web2py but
that has not yet been integrated with SahanaPy although it would be
trivial (it just requires annotation of the tables in RDF) but I do
not know if there are specific ontologies for this kind of data.

Oh.
Who put this up?
I am impressed by ( and thankful of ) the amount of efforts we are
not aware of!
Now. The issue is quickly starting to become: data integration.
( I am sure someone has been saying this for eons. He's big, darK...
can't remember his name though ;).
I will fwd this to people on the team. If you have any idea, the list
of developers coordinating this is:

Thanks!
It is based on web2py and it would be trivial to add RDF tags since
web2py
has native support for linked data :
http://web2py.com/semantic
OK cool.
Now, just to be clear: semantic is not really a requirement. We just
need to make things better.
Thanks!
( Leo: I copy you directly cuz you're the python man here )
Currently the database schema of Sahanapy has not yet been tagged
but they
alway look for volunteers

Hi,
As many of you probably know, we just had a mega quake here in
Chile.
This next week will be critical in terms of logistics, finding lost
people... and as you probably know it is all about information in
the
end.
In a scenario like this, everything is chaotic.
We will soon have a SPARQL endpoint available with all the data we
can
find, hoping that people around the world can extract some insights.
In the meantime, I would love to hear any kind of ideas.
They needn't be high tech. Sometimes simple ideas go a long way!
Thanks!
