The Establishment of Verb Logic and Its Application in Universal Emergency Response Information System Design

Abstract

It is always a challenge to build up a stable and high-level integrated system capable of different types of emergencies. The biggest obstacle is how to build a universal work flow mode for the different events. To solve the problem, our research adopts an unusual way based on the self-evident truth that full text description of phenomena is a whole map of it. Then the system analysis’ subject can be altered from the real emergency response to the text description of it. Therefore semantic annotation which uses the semantic labels in propbank can be employed in the analysis process. The annotation subjects are the documents that each of them described a full emergency response process of different emergency type. After classification and statistic, three linguistic rules are found out. First, every sentence have a predicate verb which indicate an executable action and it belongs to a fixed set, second, each verb coexists with semantic role Arg0(actor), third, all the complement roles of predicate verbs converge into a fixed subset of semantic roles ,these conclusions are named together as verb logic. It is a high abstract semantic model, for it not only contains domains but also tell the relations among domains. Based on verb logic, universal work flow mode is constructed, and a universal emergency response system can be built up. The design of the system is also stated in this paper.
