ISWC 2014 Industry Track iNowit, linked data as key element for innovation in emergency response During the project we not only gained experience with the technical details but also the more organizational problems of creating a centralized terminologies.

Bart van Leeuwen bart@netage.nl / @semanticfire Bart van Leeuwen combines his 15 years firefighting experience with 17 years of netage.nl  ownership. This combination allows him to highlight a new perspective on operational information  delivery. With the ever larger amount of available data and changes in tactical approaches to firefighting new and fresh thinking is needed. As a “outside the box” thinker he helps fire departments to approach  their information problems in a different way. In this process, technology is not the answer, it's an  enabler and should be treated as such. Currently he leads an innovation project where proven information management technology is  combined with new paradigms like semantic web technology to deal with information flows in a  smarter and agile way.
