Starting with the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon oil spill
incident, Oil Spill Impacts: Taxonomic and Ontological Approaches
chronicles a timeline of events that focus on the impact of oil
spills and provides an understanding of these incidents using a
number of approaches. The book includes an interdisciplinary oil
spill taxonomy, an oil spill topic map, and highlights
information-organization tools, such as indexes, taxonomies, and
topic maps that can be used to connect information resources with
concepts of interest. The topic map combines the function of
ontology with the function of organized information resources, and
contains thousands of concepts and their relationships extracted
from approximately 300 documents stemming from various academic
conference presentations, journal articles, news reports, and web
pages. Divided into four parts, the book begins with a brief
introduction of the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon oil spill
events followed by a breakdown of the taxonomy concepts distributed
into categories and their subcategories. The book then describes
the oil spill topic map separated by concepts, relationships, and
references. This interdisciplinary reference provides to its
readers: The perspective of multiple disciplines instead of just
one discipline An indication of the most important topics in the
oil spill domain Developed research in the oil spill and oil
drilling areas A broad and detailed view of oil spill issues The
book serves students, teachers, and researchers interested in oil
spill issues, oil spill incidents, and addresses their impacts that
involve coastal and marine environmental sciences, biological
sciences, chemistry, disaster management, geology, sociology, and
government policy.
