Source: https://github.com/OpenDRR/documentation/blob/master/docs/opendrr-platform.adoc#42-strategy-for-ontology--taxonomy-development

Description
The integration of geo-information to help decision-making prior to and during an emergency is fundamental for the OpenDRR platform. The enabler for this integration is an ontology for disaster risk reduction in Canada that harmonizes existing vocabularies for hazard and risk (SENDAI, INSPIRE, GEM) and includes new concepts where needed to support semantic interoperability and natural language reasoning (see diagram below).

As a GIS analyst I need to have an automated way to process and compile OpenQuake outputs from csv format to a PostGreSQL database so that we can eliminate the manually intensive processes of merging data.
