CORBA는 분산 시스템의 객체를 관리하기 위한 모형으로 여러 응용에서 장점을 보인다. 그러나 CORBA 객체의 정의에는 지속성을 가정하고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 CORBA의 BOA(Basic Object Adapter)에 객체 데이타베이스 어댑터(Object Database Adapter, ODA)를 구현하여 객체를 관계 데이타베이스에 저장함으로써 객체의 지속성을 유지하도록 하였다. 객체의 관리는 객체지향 데이타베이스 시스템이 자연스러우나 본 논문에서는 이미 구축된 관계 데이타베이스 시스템과 응용을 공유할 수 있도록 관계 데이타베이스용을 구현하였다. ORB는 Orbix를 사용하였고, 튜플의 객체로의 대응은 Tie 법과 객체포장기 개념을 사용하였다. CORBA 응용의 관점에서 데이타베이스 시스템을 이용한 객체의 지속성 유지는 지속성 유지와 더불어 많은 수의 객체를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있고, 병행성, 회복기법 등을 이용할 수 있는 여러 장점이 있다. 또 데이타베이스 시스템 측면에서 CORBA와 데이타베이스 어댑터의 이용은 사용자에게 데이타베이스 스키마에 관한 사항을 숨김으로써 데이타베이스 접근을 쉽게 하고, 분산된 데이타베이스 환경에서는 데이타베이스 모델과 언어의 이질성을 해소할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

In order to derive hidden Information (concept subsumption, concept satisfiability and realization) of OWL ontologies, a number of OWL reasoners have been introduced. Most of the reasoners were implemented to be based on tableau algorithm. However this approach has certain limitation. This paper presents architecture for Medusa. The Medusa is an extended DL-reasoner for SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language) reasoning under well-founded semantics with ontologies specified in Description Logic. Description logic based ontology reasoners theoretically explore knowledge representation and its reasoning in concept languages. However these logics are not equipped with rule-based reasoning mechanisms for assertional knowledge base; specifically, rule and facts in logic programming, or interaction of rules and facts with terminology. In order to deal with the enriched reasoning, The Medusa provides combining DL-knowledge base and rule based reasoner. The described prototype uses $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ API[1] for controlling communication with the ontology reasoner.

We implemented a system being able to suggest example sentences for multiple choice tests, considering the level of students. To build the system, we designed an automatic method for sentence generation, which made it possible to control the difficulty degree of questions. For the proper evaluation in the multiple choice tests, proper size of question pools is required. To satisfy this requirement, a system which can generate various and numerous questions and their example sentences in a fast way should be used. In this paper, we designed an automatic generation method using a linguistic resource called WordNet. For the automatic generation, firstly, we extracted keywords from the existing sentences with the morphological analysis and candidate terms with similar meaning to the keywords in Korean WordNet space are suggested. When suggesting candidate terms, we transformed the existing Korean WordNet scheme into a new scheme to construct the concept similarity matrix. The similarity degree between concepts can be ranged from 0, representing synonyms relationships, to 9, representing non-connected relationships. By using the degree, we can control the difficulty degree of newly generated questions. We used two methods for evaluating semantic similarity between two concepts. The first one is considering only the distance between two concepts and the second one additionally considers positions of two concepts in the Korean Wordnet space. With these methods, we can build a system which can help the instructors generate new questions and their example sentences with various contents and difficulty degree from existing sentences more easily.

This paper describes the major components of ISO/IEC 11179 metadata registry (MDR) standard designed to promote data interoperability between systems, explains and discusses semantic web technology and Web ontology languages initiated by W3C that can be employed to further enhance data interoperability, and finally proposes a framework for a new RDF/OWL-based MDR to convert from the current human-readable MDR to machine-readable MDR. If the new MDR is successful, we might be able to offer a better customized information service to users. The future research will be concerned with evaluating objectively the effectiveness of machine-readable MDR in meeting the needs of real users.

Visual Object Query language(VOQL) proposed recently is a visual object-oriented database query language which can effectively represent queries on complex structured data, since schema information is visually included in query expressions. VOQL, which is a graph-based query language with inductively defined semantics, can concisely represent various text-based path expressions by graph, and clearly convey the semantics of complex path expressions. however, the existing VOQL assumes that all the attributes are multi-valued, and cannot visualize the concept of binding of object variables. therefore, VPAL query expressions are not intuitive, so that it is difficult to extend the existing VOQL theoretically. In this paper, we propose VOQL that improved on these problems. The improved VOQL visualizes the result of a single-valued attribute and that of a multi-valued attribute as a visual element and a subblob, respectively, and specifies the binding of object variables by introducing visual variables, so that the improved VOQL intuitively and clearly represents the semantics of queries.
