Ontology Based Analysis of Violent Events

cover
In this paper we describe ongoing work to construct a knowledge base of politically motivated violent events consisting of a domain ontology and of instance data. The instance data is semi-automatically extracted from news articles gathered by the online news monitoring system of the European Commission (EMM). There are important interrelations in violent events recorded in online news articles. Since the news articles are scattered through the Web, these interrelations are not obvious. However, this information can essentially be rediscovered by gathering and mapping it to a well defined, logical model. This knowledge base, which stores the information, can then deploy an inference mechanism that results in the discovery of hidden relationships and facts. Information discovered in this way can support threat assessment and perhaps discover scenarios for possible future violent events.
