Hooi %A M.F. Hassan %A T.X. Ci %X This paper presents concepts of building a system using ontology to conduct risk identification in safety management of chemical processes. Manual risk identification requires laborious efforts in collecting and analyzing data for different process safety elements. Ontology provides intelligent integration of affected elements. Each element is represented by an ontology that provides future application with knowledge of process safety. In a distributed environment, each ontology can be represented by agent that exchanged the information to fulfill the requirement of the analysis. © 2012 IEEE. %K Chemical process; Distributed environments; Future applications; Hazard identification; In-process; Intelligent integration; Interoperations; Process safety; Process safety management; Risk Identification; Safety management, Information science; Ontology; Technology, Safety engineering %T Interoperation of elements in process safety management via ontology-oriented architecture %V 2 %O cited By 2; Conference of 2012 International Conference on Computer and Information Science, ICCIS 2012 - A Conference of World Engineering, Science and Technology Congress, ESTCON 2012 ; Conference Date: 12 June 2012 Through 14 June 2012; Conference Code:93334 %D 2012 %C Kuala Lumpur %R 10.1109/ICCISci.2012.6297171
