Abstract
This chapter introduces the application field and research domain of this thesis. First, it will define and discuss different foundations and terms, such as incidents, emergencies, crises, disasters, and catastrophes, with regard to crisis management. Thereafter, it will introduce crisis informatics, focusing on social media technologies and mobile crisis apps. A further emphasis is set on social media analytics, which be discussed from the perspectives of algorithms and data, interfaces and systems, and human interaction. Finally, the chapter will establish a basic definition and understanding for information refinement in crisis informatics and elaborate open research gaps and potentials that are addressed in this thesis.
