An Ontology for Describing Security Events

Mining security events helps with better precautionary planning for community safety. However, incident records are expressed in diverse and application de p ndent formats which impedes common comprehension for auto matic knowledge extraction and reasoning. In this paper, we present Security Incident Ontology, SIO, a novel light-weight domain ontology for security incidents. We use Timeline to annotate the temporal facts of incidents and adopt Event to repr esent any security issues from indecent behavior to assault t o more adverse crime which raise the security alarm in a community. It will present a unique way to the security incident detec tors, a police officer, Robocops, or intelligent CCTV cameras, to report security events. We use SIO in populating security incident notifications of Integrated Risk Management (IRM) at Ryerson University to evaluate its competency, for Ryerson University campus has both business and housing area in the vi cinity and encompass not only high rate, but also wide variety of different security issues. SIO is developed in OWL 2 with Pro tégé. Ontology; Semantic Web; OWL; Security Incident; Event.
