Abstract

We investigate whether the automatic generation of questions from an ontology leads to a trustworthy determination of a situation. With our Situation Awareness Question Generator (SAQG) we automatically generate questions from an ontology. The experiment shows that people with no previous experience can characterize hectic situations rather fast and trust worthy. When humans are participating as a sensor to gather information it is important to use basic concepts of perception and thought.
