Image metadata is used to describe the contents, structures, and features of a given image data. There exist lots of image metadata-related standards. Such image metadata need to be shared to efficiently search the correct images in Web Service-enabled distributed environments. In this thesis, we propose an interoperable system architecture for utilizing image metadata and query extension methods using metadata mapping for correct and efficient image searching. In the proposed methods, the provider schema using non-standard image metadata are mapped into the schema based on the VRA standard, which is used as a basic and intermediary standard in MDR(MetaData Registry). We support mapping operations between the VRA standard and other standards, to reduce the number of unnecessary mapping operations and to enable easier addition of schema based on new standards. Using the proposed query processing methods, which utilize image metadata and overcome their heterogeneity by metadata mapping, it is possible to severely improve the correctness of image retrieval. To show the usefulness of our schemes, we implemented a prototype system and performed retrieval performance evaluation on extended query processing.

시맨틱 웹은 인간이 이해하는 것처럼 웹 문서의 의미를 컴퓨터가 이해할 수 있도록 하는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 Annotation Editor를 사용하여 논문에 대한 RDF 메타데이타의 자동 생성 방법을 제안한다. 사용자가 논문을 주석 처리할 때, 문서에 대한 특징을 추출하고 온토로지 인터페이스를 사용하여 문서를 분류한다. 구현된 시스템을 통해 사용자는 추출된 메타데이타를 메타데이타 뷰를 통해 수정하고 RDF Store로 저장할 수 있으며, 주석 뷰를 통하여 수동으로 RDF 메타데이타를 입력할 수 있다. 본 논문은 검색 엔진을 통하여 논문 검색 시 전체 내용보다 RDF 메타데이타 정보만으로 효율적인 검색을 할 수 있는 방법에 초점을 둔다.

Since traditional static metadata set like Dublin Core has static metadata attributes about bibliography information, integration of metadata for various metadata, problems about standard and extension of metadata must be considered for applying it to new environment. Specially, as event-driven metadata write method included the notion of e-commerce come out for interoperability in digital libraries, traditional metadata management which cannot distinguish between different kinds of update operations to new extension of metadata set occurs unsuitable waiting of update operation. So, improvement is needed about it. In this paper, we show whether alleviative transaction consistency can be applied to digital library or not. Also it would divide newer metadata into static metadata attribute connected in read operation within user read-only transaction and dynamic metadata attribute in update operation within dynamic(e-commerce) update transactions. We propose newer metadata management algorithm considered in classfication of metadata attributes and dynamic update transaction. Using two version for minimal maintenance cost and ARU(Appended Refresh Unit) for dynamic update transaction, to minimize conflict between read and write operations shows fast response time and high recency ratio. As a result of the performance evaluation, we show our algorithm is proved to be better than other algorithms in newer metadata environments.

디지털 방송 환경의 메타데이타 서비스 중에서도 가장 혁신적인 것이 하이라이트(highlight)메타데이타 서비스이다. 하이라이트 메타데이타를 생성하기 위해서 시각율동을 이용한 샷경계 검출 알고리즘을 사용해 스포츠 경기의 하이라이트 시간구간을 결정하고, 하이라이트 표시기에서 하이라이트를 설명하는 간단한 주제어를 부가한다. 그리고 하이라이트 템플릿을 이용해 계층구조를 생성하고 하이라이트에 부가된 하이라이트 주제어에 따라 계층 구조의 적절한 위치에 삽입하고. 하이라이트 계층구조는 MPEG-7 표준 스키마에 따라 xml로 서술한다 하이라이트 메타데이타 서비스를 받는 시청자들은 매우 짧은 시간에 이미 방영된 스포츠 경기의 중요 장면들을 모두 볼 수 있다.

The goal of next generation digital broadcasting is offering the interaction among consumers and providers as well as variety services. One of the important factors for this new broadcasting environment keeps the interoperability among providers and consumers since the environment is distributed. Therefore a standard metadata for digital broadcasting is required and TV-Anytime metadata is one of the metadata standards for digital broadcasting. The terminal nodes of TV-Anytime metadata are defined by using MPEG-7 metadata. MPEG-7 metadata is standard metadata for describing multimedia content. Therefore, if we use the MPEG-7 metadata for describing broadcasting content can offer multimedia search services like content-based search by the extension of metadata. The efficient management system for these metadata is important for offering the services with high Duality on real broadcasting environment TV-Anytime metadata and MPEG-7 metadata are technically defined using a single XML schema, so its instances are XML data. Currently, a lot of systemsfor managing XML data are proposed in many researchers and we can expect to adapt these systems for managing broadcasting metadata. But the methods used in these systems are not specific methods for managing broadcasting metadata because of methods for general-purpose. In this paper, we find the properties of broadcasting metadata and develop an efficient metadata management system that is based on the found properties. Since our systemis implemented on real broadcasting environment, we expect that the system is most efficient and suitable. Also our system is interoperable since we use XQuery as query language for querying broadcasting metadata.

As the importance and utilization of multimedia data increases, it becomes necessary to represent and manage multimedia data within database systems. In this paper, we designed and implemented an image retrieval system which support efficient management and intelligent retrieval of image data using concept hierarchy and data mining techniques. We stored the image information intelligently in databases using concept hierarchy. To support intelligent retrievals and efficient web services, our system automatically extracts and stores the user information, the user's query information, and the feature data of images. The proposed system integrates user metadata and image metadata to support various retrieval methods on image data.

웹 자원을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서 메타데이타(metadata)의 활용이 증가하고 있으며, 이 활용 분야 중 웹사이트 관리를 위한 응용들은 표준화되지 않아서 상호호환성의 문제를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 메타데이타의 표준화와 상호운영을 목적으로 하는 RDF(Resources Description Framework)를 이용하여 웹사이트 관리를 위한 메타데이타 생성 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 웹사이트를 기관 도메인별로 자동 분류하고, 정보를 구조적 형식으로 기술하여 효율적인 검색 환경을 제시할 수 있다. 이를 위해 더블린 코어를 기반으로 한 메타데이타 모델 및 RDF 메타데이타를 자동 생생하기 위한 사상 규칙과 알고리즘을 제시하고 시스템을 구현한다.

정보 인프라의 확장과 더불어 웹 이용의 보편화로 인해 오프라인(off-line)과 온라인(on-line)상에는 많은 데이터가 산출되고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 데이터 관리를 위한 메타데이타 표준이 특정 도메인(domain)에 제한적이거나 너무 광범위하게 정의되어 있기 때문에 효율적인 데이터 관리가 되지 못하고있다. 또한 생성한 메타데이타에 대한 유효성 검증이 되지 않으므로 정확한 메타데이타인지를 보장할 수 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 메타데이타에 대한 유효성 검증을 수행하고, RDF(Resource Description Framework)를 기반으로 메타데이타를 효율적으로 저작할 수 있는 저작 툴과 웹 자원(resource)를 N-triple로 표현하여 데이터를 관리할 수 있는 N-triple 생성기를 개발하였다.

The Digital Library is the integrated system of Information Retrieval System(IRS) and Database Management system(DBMS). In the Digital Library environment where dynamic query and update processes are required, however, the existing transaction management methods cause the following problems. First, since the traditional consistency criteria is too restrictive, it causes increment of query processing time and cannot guarantee the reflection of recency. Second, query result could be unreliable because the consistency criteria between source data and metadata is not defined. This paper models the access to metadata based on Dublin Core as query transactions and update transactions, and gives the efficient method to manage them. Particularly, this paper describes the consistency criteria of metadata which takes it Into consideration the consistency between the result of query transaction and status of source data in the Digital Library, that is different from the consistency criteria in traditional transaction management. It also presents analysis of the view point of query transaction to reflect recency and proposes metadata management to guarantee recency within metadata consistency.

Metadata IR model has high precision and low recall because the query in Metadata IR model is strict that is, the query can express user information need exactly, while Full-text IR model has low precision and high recall because the query in Full-text IR model is a kind of simple keyword query which expresses user information need roughly. If user can translate one's information need into structured query well, the retrieval result will be improved. However, it is little possible to make relevant query without understanding characteristics of metadata. Unfortunately, most users do not interested in metadata, then they cannot construct well-made structured query. Amount of information contained in metadata is less than text information. In this paper, we suggest hybrid IR model using metadata and text which can provide users with lots of relevant documents by retrieving from metadata field and text field complementarily.
