Recently, together with increasing use of multimedia data, many works on moving objects in video databases have been made. Moving objects change visual features and spatial positions with the lapse of time in video data. And they arc related to the other objects or events. In this paper, we propose a new modeling and various query types of moving objects for content based retrieval in video databases. The proposed modeling represents visual features, moving trajectories and semantic contents related to objects. Therefore, it allows to process various query types. And we propose various query operators for the retrieval types. To show the superiority of our modoling, we implement the retrieval systems and compare it with the existing methods in terms of the supporting query types. The proposed method supports various query types and improves the efficiency of the query processing over the existing methods.

전자거래 시스템에서 상품정보에 대한 자연언어 질의 문장은 상품명과 가격의 범위를 인식하는 것이 가장 중요한 요소이다. 가격의 범위를 인식하려면 가격 어휘와 가격지정어로 이루어진 가격범위 구문에 대한 별도의 처리 방법이 요구된다. 아라비아 숫자와 수사들로 구성된 가격어휘를 인식하는 수사어절 인식 알고리즘과 구문분석기를 이용하여 상품정보를 검색하는 질의 문장으로부터 상품명에 대한 가격의 범위를 인식하는 자연언어 질의어 처리 방법을 제안한다.

The paper proposes a pre-processing method for efficient processing of XML queries in information retrieval systems with a large amount of XML documents. For the pre-processing, we use a signature-based approach. In the conventional (flat document-based) information retrieval systems, user queries consist of keywords and boolean operators, and thus signatures are structured in a flat manner. However, in XML-based information retrieval systems, the user queries have the form of path query. Therefore, the flat signature cannot be effective for XML documents. In the paper, we propose a structured signature for XML documents. Through experiments, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method.

Researches on enhancing the searching function of the web service using the ontology concept have been studying. One of them suggests a searching method for UDDI using DAML and DAML+OIL. However this approach has inconveniences to use operations proper to the circumstance and to define respective ontologies according to them. To solve these problems, we introduce an effective method of dealing with N-Triple, filtering care Triples, merging Triples, semantic connection between Triples and searching Triples for searching information and recommending the results in semantic web environment. Furthermore, we implement this proposed method in a system to test it. Finally, we test the system in the virtual semantic web environment for out research analysis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate college students' preferences of Web-based OPAC retrieval techniques and their ABO blood types as an empirical survey. Data was collected through a self-designed questionnaire with a total of 101 undergraduate students from the College of Social Sciences responding. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and One-way ANOVA. The results show that 'title' was most preferred among the access points, 'AND' was the most preferred Boolean operator, 'publication year' and 'subject' were the most favored techniques in limiting the scope of retrieval, and 'record number limit per page' was the most frequently used for displaying retrieval results. The results also show that there were little(3 out of 22, i.e. 13.6%) statistically significant differences between the college students' preferences of Web-based OPAC techniques and their blood type.

In reusable component retrieval systems with facet-based schemes, facet queries are generally used for representing the characteristics of components relevant to users. This paper proposes an expanded facet query equipped with an object-based thesaurus to precisely formulate user's intents. To evaluate the query, a component retrieval system is also designed and implemented. For exactly retrieving the components, user's query should include relevant facet values capable of fully specifying their characteristics. However, simply listing a series of facet values directly inputted by users, conventional queries fails to precisely represent user's intents. Our query, called expanded facet query, employs fuzzy boolean operators and object-based thesaurus; the former logically expresses the fuzzy connectives between facet queries and required components, whereas the latter helps users appropriately select the specific facet values into the query. A thesaurus query is provided to recommend the relevant facet values with their fuzzy degrees from the thesaurus as well. Furthermore, our retrieval system can automatically formulate queries with the recommended facet values, if necessary.

To come up with the recommendations to improve the patent & trademark retrieval efficiency, 100,016 patent & trademark search requests by 17,559 unique users over a period of 193 days were analyzed. By analyzing 2,202 multi-query sessions, where one user issuing two or more queries consecutively, we discovered a number of retrieval efficiency improvements clues. The session analysis result also led to suggestions for new system features to help users reformulating queries. The patent & trademark retrieval users were found to be similar to the typical web users in certain aspects especially in issuing short queries. However, we also found that the patent & trademark retrieval users used Boolean operators more than the typical web search users. By analyzing the multi-query sessions, we found that the users had five intentions in reformulating queries such as paraphrasing, specialization, generalization, alternation, and interruption, which were also used by the web search engine users.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the functions and characteristics of search interfaces of Korean Old and Rare Collection Information System(KORCIS) and Korean History Online. The checklist of OPAC functionalities proposed by Breeding was used to examine eleven functions of these systems. Both system provide the following functions: Search by keywords; Boolean operators in queries; Order results chronologically; Modify search without re-keying the initial terms ; Search within result sets ; and Ability to limit results to an individual library or education. They do not provide such functions as Browse by author, title, subject and View and recall the search history for the current session. Adoption of standard OPAC and next-generation catalog functionalities, in-depth understanding of user needs and information seeking behaviors, and the improvement of subject access to these systems are suggested in this study.

GIS에서 공간분석은 최종 사용자의 의사결정을 돕는 중요한 수단을 제공한다. 다라서, 분석을 위해 사용되는 질의 모델은 질의 자체의 구문구성이나 질의를 이용하는 최종 사용자와의 상호작용적인 측면에 있어서 사용자관점을 지원할 수 있어야 한다. 질의 모델의 구문구조에 있어서 기존의 설계방법은 속성 데이터 베이스 검색을 위한 속성연산을 위주로 하여 공간연산을 위한 연산자들을 기존의 구문구조에 추가하는 형태의 접근방식을 취하였다. 그러나 속성검색을 위해 정의된 구문구조를 확장하여 공간연산을 처리한 방식은 공간연산이 가지는 특성을 고려했을 때 질의의 구문구조가 비일관적이고 부자연스럽다는 문제점들이 많은 연구들에서 제기되었다. 본 논문에서는 공간 질의가 공간분석을 위한 방법론이라는 기본 개념에 기초하여 공간연산을 자연스럽게 처리할 수 있는 질의모델의 구문구조 설계에 대한 방법론을 제안하였다.

PDB에서 제공하는 단백질 3차원 고분자결정 구조에 대한 플랫파일은 인자들의 좌표, 서열정보, 실험정보 및 참조 정보가 포함된다. 이러한 정보를 포함하고 있는 플랫파일로부터 필수적인 구조정보 및 서열정보 등의 효율적인 검색을 위해서는 이러한 데이터를 추출하여 데이터베이스 구축이 요구되며 이 때 단백질 구조 및 서열 정보와 실험 및 탐조 정보의 관계에 대한 모델링이 중요하다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 PDB에서 제공하는 플랫파일들의 엔트리들을 분석하고 3차원 공간 객체의 기하적 특성을 갖는 단백질 3차 구조를 공간객체로 표현하고 공간객체 모델을 적용하여 모델링한다. 이렇게 함으로써 단백질 3차 구조 분자를 구성하는 인자 및 구조 정보 검색이 가능하며 위상 및 기하 연산자글 이용하여 단백질 구조 분석에 활용할 수 있다.
