Abstract
LinguaNet® is a system for fast multi-lingual communications between police forces co-operating across frontiers. It has been in operation for more than two decades and proved its worth. From 1995 to 1998, CBS developed a number of add-ons to the system in the framework of an EU project in order to improve the multi-lingual and multi-cultural efficiency of the system. Three of these, namely multi-lingual casualty registration, cross-cultural ontology work, and a method for handling ontological discrepancies when country-specific data elements clash, are reported in this paper as examples. Given recent technological advances and the upcoming of social media as well as intelligent and instant big-data analyses since the reported research was carried out, it is suggested that the original ideas be revisited and re-engineered in view of improving efficiency in cross-frontier post-disaster emergency situations, where speed, robustness and reliability with respect to very divergent user profiles is a sine qua non.
