In this paper, we design an ontology which provides interoperability by integrating typical metadata specifications and defines concepts and semantic relations between concepts that are used to describe metadata for learning objects in university courses. And we organize a hierarchical structured e-Learning system for efficient retrieval of learning objects on many local storages that use different specifications to describe metadata and propose a query processing method based on inferences. The proposed e-Learning system can provide more accurate and satisfactory retrieval service by using the designed ontology because both learning objects that be directly connected to user queries and deduced learning objects that be semantically connected to them are retrieved.

To build the consistency among different metadata systems and to increase the interoperability of that systems even among different domains, naming rules and glossaries for the data elements are necessary. This study provides discussion of naming and identification of the data element concept, data element, conceptual domain, value domain, and its meta model. This study also describes example naming conventions based on ontology derived from the combination with object, properties, and representation of data elements. The naming principles and rules described in this study use I-R analysis, DC metadata set, and SHOE 1.0 as an example of the scientific documents. This study would be a guideline to build the naming rules of metadata based on ontology in various domains.

Entities in reality have direct relationships between each other. They also have new and indirect relationships through such direct relationships. An ontology gives explicit meaning of such relationships. Thus, we can discover new relationships between entities based on an ontology. Such new relationships are applied in indentifying new communities or constructing social networks. Measuring for the degree of relationships is an important problem in such domains. This paper proposes a measurement for the degree of relationships between entities based on an ontology. Most of researches are based on connected paths between entities. However, there are meaningful relationships between two entities through the schema in an ontology even through there are no connected paths between the entities. The proposed method measures for the degree of relationships between two entities not based on connected paths, but also relationships through the schema. The experiment result shows that the relationships through the schema are meaningful to measure the degree of relationships between entities.

Critical practicality problems are cause to search the presentation and contents according to user request and purpose in previous internet system. Recently, there are a lot of researches about dynamic adaptable ontology based system. We designed ontology based educational system which uses discrete probability and user profile. This system provided advanced usability of contents by ontology and dynamic adaptive model based on discrete probability distribution function and user profile in ontology educational systems. This models represents application domain to weighted direction graph of dynamic adaptive objects and modeling user actions using dynamically approach method structured on discrete probability function. Proposed probability analysis can use that presenting potential attribute to user actions that are tracing search actions of user in ontology structure. This approach methods can allocate dynamically appropriate profiles to user.

Along with the national and international movements to realize the electronic commerce, large amount of architectural information has been converted into digital format and stored in database systems. However the access and utilization of the information is not effective enough. It is because different terminologies are often used for describing the same object in architectural engineering. Furthermore the relationship among related objects is not captured effectively in the databases. In this paper, we utilize the relationship among architectural terminologies in order to search architectural drawings effectively. The relationship is saved in a ontology database and a prototype of search system that utilizes the relationship is presented in this paper.

Historical-cultural contents are digitized documents of records or evidences about changes of human society. The changes or evolvements are results of the interaction between society and environment. So the different feafures are appears by spatio-temporal observing locations Historical-cultural contents need to be designed so that the preservation and exchange of information, adaptation to changes of the future are easy. So historical-cultural contents have structured to support the intelligent services based on context. This study propose context-based ontology-design method based on events, and we implemented web services of Bible contents by proposed method.

The advantage of ontology leads a new knowledge system through integrating existing knowledge system and descriptive element of the concept. This study based on the advantage of ontology, providing a modeling education ontology that considered educational circumstances and related objects-person, organization, educational resources and so forth. Therefore, this study developed the framework for education ontology that provided link between school library and MLA to practice teaching-learning activity, these characteristics of educational ontology were as follows : the first, utilizing the existing education metadata and ontology, the second, representing a concept of educational ontology, subsequently defining classes and properties of education domain, the third, adding new classes and properties to connect existing classes and properties.

지능형 에이전트란 환경상태를 인지하고 상태정보에 따른 적절한 행위를 자동적으로 수행하는 소프트웨어 객체를 말한다. 본 논문에서는 시맨틱 웹 환경에서 시맨틱 서비스를 지능적이고 자동적으로 수행하는 에이전트 개발을 통해서 시맨틱 웹 응용사례에 대해 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 시맨틱 서비스 에이전트는 다음과 같은 핵심 요소 기술의 특징을 갖는다. 첫째, 시맨틱 웹 환경의 온톨로지와 메타데이터 및 사용자 프로파일을 자원으로 사용하여 상태정보를 인지한다. 둘째, SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language)기반의 추론엔진을 통해서 인지된 상황 정보를 역방향 추론하고 지능적인 행동의 수행을 결정한다. 셋째, 시맨틱 웹 환경의 확장을 통한 에이전트의 활동 범위를 증가시키기 위해서 사용자 중심의 메타데이터 저작기능을 갖는다. 넷째, 시맨틱 서비스 에이전트는 온톨로지 서버 및 시맨틱 미들웨어를 통한 시맨틱 웹 인프라 시스템의 프레임워크를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 시맨틱 서비스 에이전트의 실제 구현을 통해서 시맨틱 웹 환경이 제공하는 자원을 적극 이용하고 사용자 요구에 맞춰 이를 사용자에게 지능적이고 자동적인 서비스로 제공하는 에이전트를 제안한다.

최근 멀티미디어 데이터의 급속한 증가는 그를 대상으로 하는 다양한 컴퓨팅 기술의 발전을 가져왔다. 이러한 기술이 인간과의 상호 작용에서 그 양적 범위와 질적 깊이를 더해감에 따라, 멀티미디어 데이터 특히 그 중 가장 대표적이라 할 수 있는 이미지 데이터를 의미적으로 이해할 수 있는 방법의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이미지의 의미를 이해하기 위해 저수준(low level)의 시각 정보만을 이용하는 경우 인간과의 상호 작용에서 의미 격차(conceptual gap) 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이미지 객체의 시각 정보들을 가공해서 온톨로지(ontology)와 같은 형태의 지식 베이스(knowledge base)와 연동하여 보다 고수준의 의미를 부여하는 경우에는 해당 도메인을 벗어난 새로운 환경에 대해 적응력과 강인함이 떨어진다. 이러한 문제를 근본적으로 해결하기 위해서는 지식 베이스가 없는 상태에서 이미지 데이터의 형태로 주어진 대상 객체로부터 의미를 부여할 수 있는 정보들을 추출해, 구조적으로 지식 베이스를 형성해 나가고 이를 토대로 대상 이미지 객체의 의미를 이해할 수 있는 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 발달 심리학 이론들을 바탕으로 시각과 관련된 인간의 생득적 능력을 찾고, 이를 기반으로 우선 주어진 이미지 객체로부터 의미 정보를 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

We in this paper propose a social network based on ontology in Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM). By using the social network, researchers can find collaborators and share research results with others. For this purpose, first, personal profiles, scholarships, careers, licenses, academic activities, research results, and personal connections for all of researchers in KIOM are collected. After relationship and hierarchy among ontology classes and attributes of classes are defined through analyzing the collected information, a social network ontology are constructed using FOAF and OWL. This ontology can be easily interconnected with other social network by FOAF and provide the reasoning based on OWL ontology.
