Abstract:
This study presents the development and integration of a contextual modeling approach for sanitary events, specifically focusing on outbreaks affecting animal populations. A specialized ontology for sanitary events was developed using Protégé and integrated into the PDSA-RS platform, which supports animal health regulation in Brazil. The platform aids in the certification of poultry and swine farming in Rio Grande do Sul, ensuring compliance with Brazilian animal health regulations. The system’s effectiveness was demonstrated during FMD, avian influenza, and ND outbreak scenarios, where it significantly reduced analysis time and improved field team management through real-time task allocation and monitoring. The system’s usability was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS), resulting in a score of 75.52, reflecting positive feedback from users. Future developments will focus on refining the ontology and enhancing the embedded rules within the system to better align with rea
l-world sanitary management processes and improve adaptability to various scenarios.
