The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's census of motor vehicle crash fatalities in the United States and its territories. This paper seeks to explain the implementation of the re-coding process, in which previously entered cases were sampled and re-coded by select, experienced FARS analysts to check the accuracy and performance of the original analysts. The goal of the re-coding process is to enhance the quality control process to maintain accurate, complete, and timely FARS data.

This book describes the state-of-the-art in ontology-driven information systems (ODIS) and gives a complete perspective on the problems, solutions and open research questions in this field. The book covers four broad areas: foundations of ODIS, ontological engineering, ODIS architectures, and ODIS applications. It will trigger innovative thought processes and open up significant new domains in ODIS research.
