Abstract

Utilization of global information resources as a part of risk management is insufficient. The authorities are maintaining information systems mainly for their own purposes, without access to high quality public information sources in Internet and without interoperability between systems of different authorities. Beneficial use of all available information resources would provide an opportunity to create knowledge based on different pieces of information. However, powerful distributed knowledge management, mining of the information items, analysing the quality of them, is needed to create new information to be utilized. The distributed operations needs support of complex network architectures, models supporting mutual understanding over the cultures and language borders, and ability to recognize the context and adapt the results to the new context. This paper opens discussion from different viewpoints to the topic of global risk management. Architectural solutions supporting interoperability, quality of data in wide networks, ubiquity and mobility as well as time dimension of the information space are covered.
