[en] This paper discusses the use of social media for data interoperability and sharing between agencies during emergency situations, natural disasters, and disruptions of critical infrastructure. The work presented is ongoing in the context of the REDIRNET (Emergency Responders Data Interoperability Network) research project. The project’s purpose is to provide a decentralized framework for interoperability between emergency agencies’ systems, based on a public meta-data gateway controlled by the agencies through a socio-professional web interface. A major problem during crisis situations is sharing data from various sources between the agencies involved. These data are often heterogeneous and distributed between many organisations with different access rights, and may have little or no security level protection. This paper focuses on the shared platform,
which collects information from a variety of sensor nodes and presents it in a user-friendly manner.
