- Abstract
- The goal of this study is to develop a taxonomy of earthquake response and recovery using online information re-sources for organizing and sharing earthquake-related online in-formation resources. A constructivist/interpretivist research par-adigm was used in the study. A combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches was used to build the taxonomy. Facet analysis of disaster management, the timeframe of disaster man-agement, and modular design were performed when designing the taxonomy. Two case studies were done to demonstrate the usefulness of the taxonomy for organizing and sharing infor-mation. The facet-based taxonomy can be used to organize online information for browsing and navigation. It can also be used to index and tag online information resources to support searching. It creates a common language for earthquake manage-ment stakeholders to share knowledge. The top three level cate-gories of the taxonomy can be applied to the management of other types of disasters. The taxonomy has implications for earthquake online information management, knowledge manage-ment and disaster management. The approach can be used to build taxonomies for managing online information resources on other topics (including various types of time-sensitive disaster re-sponses). We propose a common language for sharing infor-mation on disasters, which has great social relevance.
