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.
Data integration is always the issue.
Ever since there were two languages for communication. ;-)
Rather than attempting to choose (or force) a choice of an ontology, I
would suggest creating a topic map to provide an integration layer over
diverse data. That allows users to work with systems most familiar to
them, which should allow them to get underway more quickly as well as
more accurately. While allowing for integration of diverse sources.
Besides, as the relief effort evolves, things not contemplated at the
outset are going arise. Topic maps can easily adapt to include such
information.
Hope you are having a great day!

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!

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!
