The 1st International Workshop On Ontologies for the Disaster Domain

We invite submissions to the First Workshop On Ontologies for the Disaster Domain – WOODD -

to be held as a part of The Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) 2022 at Jönköping University, Jönköping, Sweden, from August 15 to 19, 2022.

International Journal of Geo-Information
(Paper - Implementation of FAIR Principles for Ontologies
in the Disaster Domain:
A Systematic Literature Review)

The workshop aims to bring together knowledge modeling engineers, domain ontology experts, developers of disaster knowledge graphs to discuss different techniques and rationale for constructing various ontologies in the disaster domain. This will potentially also set the stage for opening the floor for discussion about limitations of existing research, missing pieces, and overall address a key question

“Do we need a domain ontology or a reference ontology for the hazard domain”?

Topics

1) Ontologies that focus on modeling different aspects of the domain (e.g. phases of disaster management life cycle, observational data, spatial-temporal views, such as point, area, or trajectory phenomenon)

2) Ontologies that model causal chains (e.g. for compounding disasters and disaster impacts)

3) Construction and annotation of domain taxonomies or vocabularies using machine learning and other artificial intelligence technologies

4) Ontology integration and ontology alignment in the hazard-disaster domain

5) Ontology modularity in the hazard-disaster domain

6) Ontologies and disaster domain knowledge graphs

Submissions are particularly welcome that address aspects of this theme, but submissions outside of the theme, but maintain the core idea of the workshop are also welcome.

Submissions

We encourage three types of contributions:

1) Full research paper: Submitted papers must not exceed 14 pages excluding the bibliography. Please, note that the minimum length is 10 pages.
Short paper: Submitted papers must not exceed 6 pages excluding the bibliography. Please, note that the minimum length is 5 pages (including the bibliography).

2) Extended abstracts (presentation only) should be 2-4 pages long including the bibliography. Please, note that extended abstracts will not be included in the CEUR proceedings.

Submissions should be made via Easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2022.

a Paper: Hodges' model and mental health nursing in bushfire-affected communities

An email from ResearchGate informed me that a co-authored paper:

Doyle, M., Jones, P. (2013). Hodges’ Health Career Model and its role and potential application in forensic mental health nursing. Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing. 20, 7, 631-640.
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2850.2012.01961.x/abstract

- had been cited in another publication. A check was rewarded. It always feels good to be able to add a  study to the bibliography listing (please see the sidebar). This is an early view, by Brent Hayward in Australia:

Hayward, B.A. (2020), Mental health nursing in bushfire‐affected communities: An autoethnographic insight. Int J Mental Health Nurs. DOI: 10.1111/inm.12765

What stands out to me are Hayward's profession of mental health nursing within a public educational service and disaster response. I'm not sure how many times I have referred to the generic nature of Hodges' model, but this shift from reading a forensic paper to applying h2cm in disaster response is encouraging. While the immediacy of today's media brings home the catastrophic scale and tragedy of bushfires - work like this also reveals the humanistic side.

The research method of autoethnography has definite currency. Since the MRES at Lancaster, I have wondered if there is any autoethnographic merit in this blog? Hayward has clearly seen the value of the model with regard to reflection and self-reflection. Over the past few years - Brexit, climate change, the bushfires (and California) the importance and relevance of the political domain within Hodges' model continues to increase. (The content of many posts should provide evidence of this.)

It also appears that Hodges' model can draw out the distinction between intrapersonal and interpersonal relations and reflexivity. It could be argued that the humanistic-mechanistic axis also demarcates what is intrapersonal and what interpersonal. The latter standing for the (overt) skills so essential to effective mental health nurses. Hence, what are labelled the interpersonal and sociological domains. The combination of autoethnography, gestalt and use of a visual prompt for reflection is also informative and as Hayward notes could provide an avenue for the work of others. ...

"My unsuccessful attempt to locate literature about mental health nursing in bushfire-affected communities caused me to look towards nursing models more broadly. I was drawn to Doyle and Jones’ (2013) paper on the application of Hodges’ Health Career Model in forensic mental health nursing because of its deliberate consideration of political issues. This resonated with me as a public sector employee. Hodges’ model was originally developed in 1983 but has received little attention in the literature. Doyle and Jones’ paper was in response to this deficit, and in this frame, the present study continues this legacy. Hodges’ model is appealing here because of its attention to reflective practice and the theory-practice gap–two purposes which are of particular relevance in the present study." pp.2-3.

"Second is the use of a nursing theory or model to interpret findings. Only Gardner and Lane (2010) used a model, and this was one for clinical supervision rather than mental health nursing practice per se. Mental health nurses who are considering autoethnographic approaches should consider these methodological elements for both rigour and practical purposes. This study has also contributed the second published clinical application of Hodges’ model and its effectiveness here suggests that further exploration of its application would be useful." p.6.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Brent for not only recognising the potential of Hodges' model, but actually applying it in research* and in such a vital context.

Hopefully I can reflect more on what is clearly for Hodges model and the concepts of health career, life chances and global health - a very significant paper.
