Abstract

Objectives This article explains the findings of the suitability and completeness of our Communication and Tracking Ontology (CTO) by evaluating the input using Delphi methodology on emergency response experts with more than five years of ground-based expertise, experience in assisting rescue operations, and participation in the disaster control centre. Methods The study was carried out in three rounds by getting and analysing the opinions from experts. The research question was identified and circulated to all participant. SPSS application software was then used to analyse the reports from experts by evaluating the min, median, as well as interquartile. Therefore, all objects were analysed, and those objects with a high value were selected. Results The results in this article were from three rounds of discussion with experts. Towards the end of this article, we showed a statistically significant result from all rounds interviews. We first, carried out with fifteen (15) main components in CTO based on literature reviews and later we dropped four (4) out of fifteen (15) components based on experts’ recommendation during the first-round session. We reconciled our CTO to eleven (11) components at the second round of session and the outcome was that the quartile deviation value was ≤ 0.5 and all the experts firmly agreed on the elements of CTO at final round assessment. Conclusions Based on the result, it shows the CTO ontology is suitable and effective to apply in mobile apps system to store knowledge of disaster and information of emergency response on the device. Moreover, the apps that will develop can utilise CTO as a reference and guideline especially to those who interested in this area.
