Abstract


The aviation industry is one of the most critical industries where access to quick and detailed information is very crucial for saving human lives and preserving the life span of the expensive fleet of aircraft. One of the most important problems with accident and incident reports in the aviation industry is that they are usually manually based or accessed and, in most cases, the outcome is usually based on hardcopy reports or standalone softcopies and are fragmented on the World Wide Web, and this makes logical inference cumbersome. However, documenting accidents and incidents in a database system is a good way to make these reports easily and logically accessible as knowledge for making informed decisions on any potential aspects to take note of, in order to enhance aircraft safety. This paper presents an Ontology-based knowledge representation language to facilitate explicit interpretation of domain resources and data. Coupled with its interoperability function, ontology presents the best choice for modelling such database domain. Ontology was developed in Protégé using the template of the accident and incident manuals and was tested by querying it for accident and incident information which returned results based on the search criteria and the information in its database. Access to logical information in a database system for accidents and incidents in the aviation industry would facilitate the understanding of the structure of the data that can be used by humans as a source of knowledge of the things in the domain of a function for software for further computational task or analysis would go a long way in mitigating some avoidable incidences.
