The Knowledge service system needs to infer a new knowledge from indicated knowledge to provide its effective service. Most of the Knowledge service system is expressed in terms of ontology. The volume of knowledge information in a real world is getting massive, so effective technique for massive data of ontology is drawing attention. This paper is to provide the method to infer massive data-ontology to the extent of RDFS, based on cloud computing environment, and evaluate its capability. RDFS inference suggested in this paper is focused on both the method applying MapReduce based on RDFS meta table, and the method of single use of cloud computing memory without using MapReduce under distributed file computing environment. Therefore, this paper explains basically the inference system structure of each technique, the meta table set-up according to RDFS inference rule, and the algorithm of inference strategy. In order to evaluate suggested method in this paper, we perform experiment with LUBM set which is formal data to evaluate ontology inference and search speed. In case LUBM6000, the RDFS inference technique based on meta table had required 13.75 minutes(inferring 1,042 triples per second) to conduct total inference, whereas the method applying the cloud computing memory had needed 7.24 minutes(inferring 1,979 triples per second) showing its speed twice faster.

With development of the earth's subsurface space, the need for a reliable subsurface spatial model such as a cross-section, boring log is increasing. However, the ground mass was essentially uncertain. To generate model was uncertain because of the shortage of data and the absence of geotechnical interpretation standard(non-statistical uncertainty) as well as field environment variables(statistical uncertainty). Therefore, the current interpretation of the data and the generation of the model were accomplished by a highly trained experts. In this study, a geotechnical ontology model was developed using the current expert experience and knowledge, and the information content was calculated in the ontology hierarchy. After the relative distance between the information contents in the ontology model was combined with the distance between cluster centers, a cluster analysis that considered the geotechnical semantics was performed. In a comparative test of the proposed method, k-means method, and expert's interpretation, the proposed method is most similar to expert's interpretation, and can be 3D-GIS visualization through easily handling massive data. We expect that the proposed method is able to generate the more reasonable subsurface spatial information model without geotechnical experts' help.

Having observed the restriction of the current Web technology, the semantic Web has been developed, and it now has grown up with the core help of the W3C to a level where it recommends the OWL Web ontology language. Besides, in order to deduce the information out of OWL data, several inference systems have been developed such as Jena, Jess, and JTP. Unfortunately, however, quite few systems can effectively handle recently developed OWL data, and further, due to the limitation of file-based operation, the current inference systems cannot meet the requirements for handing huge OWL data. An efficient method for storing and searching ontology data is essential for ensuring stable information inference processes. In this study, firstly, we proposed a model based on the database management system to transform and store OWL data and to enable deduction process from the database. Secondly, we designed and implemented an effective OWL storing system based on our model. Finally, we compare our system with the previous inference systems through experimental performance analysis.

We design and implement an efficient storage technique to improve query processing for a large RDF data set. The proposed techniques can minimize data redundancy compared to the existing techniques by splitting relation information and data information from triple formatted RDF data. Also, we can enhance query processing speed separating and connecting the entire query steps by relation and data based on the proposed storage technique. The proposed technique can be applied to the areas, such as e-Commerce, semantic web, and KMS to store and retrieve a large RDF data set.

As we enter a new era of Big Data, the amount of semantic data has rapidly increased. In order to derive meaningful information from this large semantic data, studies that utilize the SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language) are being actively conducted. SWRL rules are based on data extracted from a user's empirical knowledge. However, conventional reasoning systems developed on single machines cannot process large scale data. Similarly, multi-node based reasoning systems have performance degradation problems due to network shuffling. Therefore, this paper overcomes the limitations of existing systems and proposes more efficient distributed inference methods. It also introduces data partitioning strategies to minimize network shuffling. In addition, it describes a method for optimizing the incremental reasoning process through data selection and determining the rule order. In order to evaluate the proposed methods, the experiments were conducted using WiseKB consisting of 200 million triples with 83 user defined rules and the overall reasoning task was completed in 32.7 minutes. Also, the experiment results using LUBM bench datasets showed that our approach could perform reasoning twice as fast as MapReduce based reasoning systems.

시맨틱 웹은 정보의 의미를 개념으로 정의하고 개념들 간의 관계성을 표현함으로써, 문서들 간의 단순 연결이 아닌 의미 연결을 통해서 보다 정확하고 효율적인 정보 검색이 가능하게 된다. 이러한 시맨틱 웹의 비전이 구체화되기 위해서는 웹 온톨로지(Web Ontology)를 기반으로 의미 정보로 구성된 시맨틱 문서들에 대한 추론을 통해서 웹상에 존재하는 엄청난 정보들 간의 관련성을 파악하고 사용자가 요구하는 정보를 보다 효율적으로 검색할 수 있는 시스템이 필수적이다. W3C에서 제안한 OWL은 대표적인 온톨로지 언어이다. 시맨틱 웹 상에서 OWL 데이타를 효율적으로 검색하기 위해서는 잘 구성되어진 저장 스키마를 구축해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 Jena2의 경우, 단일 테이블에 문서의 정보를 저장하기 때문에 단순 선택 연산 (Simple Selection), 조인 연산이 요구되는 질의에 대한 성능이 저하되고 대용량의 OWL데이터의 처리에 있어 성능이 저하되는 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 OWL 문서의 의미를 Class, Property, Individual로 분류하여 각각의 데이터 정보들을 테이블에 저장하기 위한 다중 변환기와 OWL 변환기 기능을 가진 시멘텍 검색 엔진을 설계 및 구현하였다. 본 검색 엔진을 테스트한 결과, 단순정보검색 질의 시 Jena2에서 비정규화된 테이블 구조로 저장할 때보다 질의 응답 속도를 향상 시킬 수 있었고, 조인 연산 시 두 테이블의 크기로 인한 조인비용이 발생하는 문제점을 해결함으로써 빠른 검색 및 질의 속도를 보장할 수 있었다.

Youths express their own negative experiences and feelings come from their deeply wounded mind. They seek the root cause of these wounded hearts from other people or external environment. Youths revisited the past to heal painful memories. This study designed ontology in order to provide information about the causes and symptoms of illness of the mind for youth counseling. Application ontology enables high-volume and intricate knowledge not only to get set up systematically but also to be stored as the meaningful information. It is also very useful as an integrating tool of the existing complex counseling nomenclature. And ultimately, through revitalization of the sharing and reuse of materials, it becomes possible to provide client-centered counseling services. Therefore, this study built ontology of the mind-illness as a way to analyze the causes and symptoms of the disease in the client mind for providing personalized youth counseling services.

As OWL(Web Ontology Language) has been selected as a standard ontology description language by W3C, many ontologies have been building and developing in OWL. The lena developed by HP as an Application Programming Interface(API) provides various APIs to develop inference engines as well as storages, and it is widely used for system development. However, the storage model of Jena2 stores most owl documents not acceptable into a single table and it shows low processing performance for a large ontology data set. Most of all, Jena2 storage model does not consider hierarchical structures of classes and properties. In addition, it shows low query processing performance using the hierarchical structure because of many join operations. To solve these issues, this paper proposes an OWL ontology relational database model. The proposed model semantically classifies and stores information such as classes, properties, and instances. It improves the query processing performance by managing hierarchical information in a separate table. This paper also describes the implementation and evaluation results. This paper also shows the experiment and evaluation result and the comparative analysis on both results. The experiment and evaluation show our proposal provides a prominent performance as against Jena2.

Nowadays, studies on the fusion of Semantic Web technologies are being carried out to promote the interoperability and value of sensor data in an IoT environment. To accomplish this, the semantic translation of sensor data is essential for convergence with service domain knowledge. The existing semantic translation technique, however, involves translating from static metadata into semantic data(RDF), and cannot properly process real-time and large-scale features in an IoT environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a technique for translating large-scale streaming sensor data generated in an IoT environment into semantic data, using real-time and parallel processing. In this technique, we define rules for semantic translation and store them in the semantic repository. The sensor data is translated in real-time with parallel processing using these pre-defined rules and an ontology-based semantic model. To improve the performance, we use the Apache Storm, a real-time big data analysis framework for parallel processing. The proposed technique was subjected to performance testing with the AWS observation data of the Meteorological Administration, which are large-scale streaming sensor data for demonstration purposes.

생성 규칙(Production Rule)과 이를 기반으로 하는 규칙 엔진(Rule Engine)을 기반으로 한 OWL 추론 엔진은 메타 규칙((Meta Rule)에 의존해 왔다. 메타 규칙은 OWL의 의미론 (Semantics)을 표현하기 용이하여 보다 손쉽게 OWL 추론 엔진을 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 제공하였으나 OWL 추론 성능에 있어 추론 속도와 대용량 온톨로지 처리 측면에서 모두 만족할 만한 성과를 얻지 못하였다. 본 논문은 DLP(Description Logic Programming)의 번역 접근법을 기반으로 한 번역 규칙(Translation Rules)을 메타 규칙과 혼용하는 OWL 추론 기법을 소개한다. LUBM 벤치마크를 통해 이 기법이 메타 규칙만을 이용했을 때 보다 100% 이상 추론 성능을 향상시켰을 뿐 아니라 메모리 사용량도 대폭 축소시켰음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 번역을 통해 제한없는 차수 제약(Cardinality Restriction) 관련 추론을 지원하는 등 보다 넓은 범위의 OWL 추론을 지원할 수 있다.
