Abstract: In this paper we propose to semantically define the emergency alerting activity, expanding an acknowledged ontology (BFO) and using a well-known representation language (OWL). In addition, we show how to translate the resulted ontology into the data structures of a programming language, also widely used (JAVA), in view of its implementation by the emergency alerting software.
