火灾灾害造成了极大的环境破坏和经济损失，尤其是发生在城市地区。使用虚拟现实模拟器支持消防员和管理人员的培训过程有两个主要优势：i)它支持模拟无法在现实世界中模拟的大城市火灾等场景；ii)它降低了事故风险，因为用户被培训为体验尽可能与真实火灾相似的情况。虚拟现实模拟器的成功取决于模拟过程与现实的接近程度；它还需要集成地图和地籍等不同的数据源。本文通过对信息系统中的语义进行仔细的管理，满足了这两个方面。语义是有用的，首先是为了更好地建模消防过程，以及更好地使模拟环境适应用户配置文件。其次，它们对于促进来自不同来源的数据的整合是有用的。本文讨论并给出了语义如何在消防场景中增强虚拟现实模拟器的一些初步结果。
Fires disasters provoke great destruction of high valuable environments and economical losses, especially when they are located in urban areas. The usage of Virtual Reality Simulator to support the training process of fire fighters and managers has two main advantages: i) it supports the simulation of scenarios like big city fires that could not be simulated in the real world ii) it reduces the accident risks as users are trained to experience situations as 'alike' as possible to real fire. The success of the Virtual Reality Simulator depends on how close to reality the simulation process is; it also requires the integration of heterogeneous data sources like maps and cadastre. Both these aspects are met in this paper by a careful management of semantics in the information system. Semantics are useful firstly to have a better model of the fire fighting process and a better adaptation of the simulation environment to the user profile. They are useful secondly to facilitate the integration of data from heterogeneous sources. This work discusses and presents some preliminary results about how Semantic can enhance Virtual Reality Simula-tors in the fire fighting context.
