Abstract
First responder communities must identify technologies that are effective in performing duties ranging from law enforcement to emergency medical to fire fighting. We aimed to create tools that gather and assist in quickly understanding responders' requirements using semantic technologies and social network analysis. We describe the design and prototyping of a set of semantically-enabled interactive tools that provide a "dashboard" for visualizing and interacting with aggregated data to perform focused social network analysis and community identification.
