DATA MODELING FOR EMERGENCIES. IN: THE GEOGRAPHICAL DIMENSIONS OF TERRORISM

Computer databases require data models to be explicit, especially if users are to take advantage of functions related to specific data models. Microsoft's Excel represents a software environment built on a simple model of data assembled in tabular form, while Word's implicit data model is a linear stream of text. This paper describes the significance of data modeling in the context of emergencies and emergency response.
