title = {Creating a Taxonomy of Earthquake Disaster Response and Recovery for Online Earthquake Information Management},
year = {2019},
note = {The goal of this study is to develop a taxonomy of earthquake response
and recovery using online information resources for organizing and
sharing earthquake-related online information resources. A
constructivist/interpretivist research paradigm was used in the study.
A combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches was used to build
the taxonomy. Facet analysis of disaster management, the timeframe of
disaster management, and modular design were performed when designing
the taxonomy. Two case studies were done to demonstrate the usefulness
of the taxonomy for organizing and sharing information. The
facet-based taxonomy can be used to organize online information for
browsing and navigation. It can also be used to index and tag online
information resources to support searching. It creates a common
language for earthquake management stakeholders to share knowledge.
The top three level categories of the taxonomy can be applied to the
management of other types of disasters. The taxonomy has implications
for earthquake online information management, knowledge management and
disaster management. The approach can be used to build taxonomies for
managing online information resources on other topics (including
various types of time-sensitive disaster responses). We propose a
common language for sharing information on disasters, which has great
social relevance.},
