Development of an Ontology to Assist the Modeling of Accident Scenarii
  "Application on Railroad Transport "
  In a world where communication and information sharing are at the heart of
our business, the terminology needs are most pressing. It has become imperative
to identify the terms used and defined in a consensual and coherent way while
preserving linguistic diversity. To streamline and strengthen the process of
acquisition, representation and exploitation of scenarii of train accidents, it
is necessary to harmonize and standardize the terminology used by players in
the security field. The research aims to significantly improve analytical
activities and operations of the various safety studies, by tracking the error
in system, hardware, software and human. This paper presents the contribution
of ontology to modeling scenarii for rail accidents through a knowledge model
based on a generic ontology and domain ontology. After a detailed presentation
of the state of the art material, this article presents the first results of
the developed model.
