- Abstract summary: The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic demands empowering existing medical, economic, and social emergency backend systems with data analytics capabilities.
An impediment in taking advantages of data analytics in these systems is the lack of a unified framework or reference model.
Ontologies are highlighted as a promising solution to bridge this gap by providing a formal representation of COVID-19 concepts.

- Abstract: The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic of the new COVID-19 disease (COVID-19
for short) demands empowering existing medical, economic, and social emergency
backend systems with data analytics capabilities. An impediment in taking
advantages of data analytics in these systems is the lack of a unified
framework or reference model. Ontologies are highlighted as a promising
solution to bridge this gap by providing a formal representation of COVID-19
concepts such as symptoms, infections rate, contact tracing, and drug
modelling. Ontology-based solutions enable the integration of diverse data
sources that leads to a better understanding of pandemic data, management of
smart lockdowns by identifying pandemic hotspots, and knowledge-driven
inference, reasoning, and recommendations to tackle surrounding issues.

It is absolutely necessary to develop an analytics framework to deliver insights in improving administrative policy and enhance the preparedness to combat the pandemic.
This paper proposes a STOP-temporal knowledge mining framework, named STOP to model the impact of human mobility and contextual information over large geographic area in different temporal scales.
The framework has two modules: (i) S-temporal data and computing infrastructure using fog/edge based architecture; and (ii) S-temporal data analytics module to efficiently extract knowledge from heterogeneous data sources.
