시맨틱 웹에 대한 관심이 높아짐과 더불어 관련 기술인 온톨로지와 이를 이용한 추론 기술 역시 이슈가 되고 있다. RacerPro, Pellet 등 지금까지의 전형적인 추론 시스템들은 주로 Tableaux Algorithm 기반의 추론 시스템으로 Tableaux Algorithm의 특성상 대용량 ABox 추론에서 문제점을 나타낸다. 이를 해결하기 위한 연구로는 Tableaux Algorithm 기반의 Instance Store와 Disjunctive Datalog Approach를 사용한 KAON2가 있다. 이러한 추론 기술에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만 각 추론 시스템들에 대한 평가는 부족하다. 현재 추론 시스템들의 벤치마킹은 대부분 Tableaux Algorithm 기반의 TBox 추론에 대한 것으로 ABox 추론 및 최근 이슈인 대용량 ABox 추론에 대한 평가는 특히 부족하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 각 추론 시스템들의 이론적 배경을 근간으로 지금까지의 전형적 추론엔진들과 최근 이슈에 따른 대용량 ABox 추론을 위한 시스템들을 이론적 비교를 통해 살펴보며, 특히 대용량 ABox 추론를 위한 시스템인 Instance Store와 KAON2를 LUBM을 사용하여 평가함으로 대용량 ABox 추론에 있어 사용자의 요구에 따른 적절한 시스템을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 대규모 분산 병렬 컴퓨팅 환경인 하둡 클러스터 시스템을 이용하여, 공간 객체들 간의 위상 관계를 효율적으로 추론하는 대용량 정성 공간 추론기를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 공간 추론기는 추론 작업의 순차성과 반복성을 고려하여, 작업들 간의 디스크 입출력을 최소화할 수 있는 인-메모리 기반의 아파치 스파크 프레임워크를 이용하여 개발하였다. 따라서 본 추론기에서는 추론의 대상이 되는 대용량 공간 지식들을 아파치 스파크의 분산 데이터 집합 형태인 PairRDD와 RDD로 변환하고, 이들에 대한 데이터 오퍼레이션들로 추론 작업들을 구현하였다. 또한, 본 추론기에서는 추론 시간의 많은 부분을 차지하는 이행 관계 추론에 필요한 조합표를 효과적으로 축소함으로써, 공간 추론 작업의 성능을 크게 향상시켰다. 대용량의 공간 지식 베이스를 이용한 성능 분석 실험을 통해, 본 논문에서 제안한 정성 공간 추론기의 높은 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

Reasoners using typical Tableaux algorithm such as RacerPro, Pellet have a problem in Tableaux algorithm large ABox reasoning. Researches to solve these Problems are dealt with Instance Store of University of Manchester which uses Tableaux algorithm based reasoner and DBMS and KAON2 of University of Karlsruhe using Disjunctive Datalog approach. An evaluation experiment for present reasoners is the experiment of TBox reasoning in most of Tableaux algorithm based one. The most of benchmarking tests in reasoning systems haven't done with ABox reasoning based Tableaux Algorithm but done with TBox reasoning based Tableaux Algorithm. Especially, rarely reported benchmarking tests in reasoners have been issued nowadays. Therefore, this thesis evaluates systems with theory of each reasoners for large ABox reasoning that becomes issues recently with typical reasoners. The large AoBx reasoning engine will be analyzed using Instance Store and KAON2 of Manchester University for large ABox processing. At the analysing method, LUBM(Lehigh University BenchMark), benchmarking test method, and it's test system will be introduced. In conclusion, I recommend appropriate reasoner in various environment with experiment result and characteristic of algorithm used for each reasoner.

In recent years, there has been a need for techniques for large-scale ontology inference in order to infer new knowledge from existing knowledge at a high speed, and for a diversity of semantic services. With the recent advances in distributed computing, developments of ontology inference engines have mostly been studied based on Hadoop or Spark frameworks on large clusters. Parallel programming techniques using GPGPU, which utilizes many cores when compared with CPU, is also used for ontology inference. In this paper, by combining the advantages of both techniques, we propose a new method for reasoning large RDFS ontology data using a Spark in-memory framework and inferencing distributed data at a high speed using GPGPU. Using GPGPU, ontology reasoning over high-capacity data can be performed as a low cost with higher efficiency over conventional inference methods. In addition, we show that GPGPU can reduce the data workload on each node through the Spark cluster. In order to evaluate our approach, we used LUBM ranging from 10 to 120. Our experimental results showed that our proposed reasoning engine performs 7 times faster than a conventional approach which uses a Spark in-memory inference engine.

Several machine learning techniques are able to automatically populate ontology data from web sources. Also the interest for large scale ontology reasoning is increasing. However, there is a problem leading to the speculative result to imply uncertainties. Hence, there is a need to consider the reliability problems of various data obtained from the web. Currently, large scale ontology reasoning methods based on the trust value is required because the inference-based reliability of quantitative ontology is insufficient. In this study, we proposed a large scale OWL Horst reasoning method based on a confidence value using spark, a distributed in-memory framework. It describes a method for integrating the confidence value of duplicated data. In addition, it explains a distributed parallel heuristic algorithm to solve the problem of degrading the performance of the inference. In order to evaluate the performance of reasoning methods based on the confidence value, the experiment was conducted using LUBM3000. The experiment results showed that our approach could perform reasoning twice faster than existing reasoning systems like WebPIE.

Current ontology studies use the Hadoop distributed storage framework to perform map-reduce algorithm-based reasoning for scalable ontologies. In this paper, however, we propose a novel approach for scalable Web Ontology Language (OWL) Horst Lite ontology reasoning, based on distributed cluster memories. Rule-based reasoning, which is frequently used for scalable ontologies, iteratively executes triple-format ontology rules, until the inferred data no longer exists. Therefore, when the scalable ontology reasoning is performed on computer hard drives, the ontology reasoner suffers from performance limitations. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose an approach that loads the ontologies into distributed cluster memories, using Spark (a memory-based distributed computing framework), which executes the ontology reasoning. In order to implement an appropriate OWL Horst Lite ontology reasoning system on Spark, our method divides the scalable ontologies into blocks, loads each block into the cluster nodes, and subsequently handles the data in the distributed memories. We used the Lehigh University Benchmark, which is used to evaluate ontology inference and search speed, to experimentally evaluate the methods suggested in this paper, which we applied to LUBM8000 (1.1 billion triples, 155 gigabytes). When compared with WebPIE, a representative mapreduce algorithm-based scalable ontology reasoner, the proposed approach showed a throughput improvement of 320% (62k/s) over WebPIE (19k/s).

For the management of a knowledge system, systems that automatically infer and manage scalable knowledge are required. Most of these systems use ontologies in order to exchange knowledge between machines and infer new knowledge. Therefore, approaches are needed that infer new knowledge for scalable ontology. In this paper, we propose an approach to perform rule based reasoning for scalable SHIF ontologies in a spark framework which works similarly to MapReduce in distributed memories on a cluster. For performing efficient reasoning in distributed memories, we focus on three areas. First, we define a data structure for splitting scalable ontology triples into small sets according to each reasoning rule and loading these triple sets in distributed memories. Second, a rule execution order and iteration conditions based on dependencies and correlations among the SHIF rules are defined. Finally, we explain the operations that are adapted to execute the rules, and these operations are based on reasoning algorithms. In order to evaluate the suggested methods in this paper, we perform an experiment with WebPie, which is a representative ontology reasoner based on a cluster using the LUBM set, which is formal data used to evaluate ontology inference and search speed. Consequently, the proposed approach shows that the throughput is improved by 28,400% (157k/sec) from WebPie(553/sec) with LUBM.

Providing a semantic knowledge system using media ontologies requires not only conventional axiom reasoning but also knowledge extension based on various types of reasoning. In particular, spatio-temporal information can be used in a variety of artificial intelligence applications and the importance of spatio-temporal reasoning and expression is continuously increasing. In this paper, we append the LOD data related to the public address system to large-scale media ontologies in order to utilize spatial inference in reasoning. We propose an RDFS/Spatial inference system by utilizing distributed memory-based framework for reasoning about large-scale ontologies annotated with spatial information. In addition, we describe a distributed spatio-temporal SPARQL parallel query processing method designed for large scale ontology data annotated with spatio-temporal information. In order to evaluate the performance of our system, we conducted experiments using LUBM and BSBM data sets for ontology reasoning and query processing benchmark.

현존하는 추론 엔진들은 대부분 Tableaux 알고리즘 기반의 TBox의 최적화를 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 하지만 현실에서 대용량의 ABox를 추론하기 위한 유한한 시간 내에 결정 가능성을 보장하지 못한다. 따라서 실용성 있는 추론 엔진 효율을 위해서는 대용량 데이터를 가지는 ABox를 위한 최적화된 추론 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 OWL-DL 기반의 온톨로지(Ontology)를 데이터로그(Datalog)와 같은 규칙(Rule) 형태로 변형하여 관계형 데이터베이스와 같은 저장 시스템과 연동하기 위한 방법을 이용한다. 최종적으로 실세계의 환경에서의 데이터타입 속성(Datatype Property)이 포함된 SHIQ(D) 구성의 실용적인 추론 시스템을 수행하고자 한다. 따라서 OWL이 가지는 공리(Axiom)를 이용하여 데이터타입 속성이 포함된 규칙을 적용한 추론 방법에 대해서 제안하였다.
