In various fields, ISO/IEC 11179-based MDR (Metadata Registry) systems have been developed. However, the current systems do not observe the standard, so inconsistency issue between metadata arises. Most of all, there exist several problems because ISO/IEC 11179 provides no standardized access method. SQL/MDR has been suggested to resolve those problems. SQL/MDR supports search operations, but it does not provide operations for vaild building and safe access for MDR. This paper, in the aforementioned issues, suggests MCL(Metadata Control Language) to guarantee safe and easy access control. MCL offers predefined roles and authority of user groups defined in ISO/IEC 11179 Part 6, and users are assigned to a proper user group. With such a way, MCL increases usability and security.

The purpose of the study was to construct a system based on the semantic web environment's ontology by utilizing the ontology schema derived from the facet-type Art and Architecture Thesaurus(AAT). The aforementioned ontology schema is based on the Web Ontology Language(OWL), which is being widely considered the standard ontology language for the W3C-centered semantic web environment. Also, the concepts were limited to terms within AAT'S Furniture Facet, and the system was tested using the Chair concept, which is a lower-level facet that has a diverse conceptual relationship and broad vocabulary base. The ontology system is capable of searching for concepts, while controlling the search results by always providing a 'Preferred term' for synonymous terms. In addition, the system provides the user with first, a relationship between the terms centered around the inquiry, and second, related terms along with their classification properties. Also, the system is presented as and application example of the ontology system that constructs a information system that intakes an Instance value and reproduces it into a RDF file. During this process, utilization of multiple ontologies was introduced, and the stored Instance value's meta-data elements were used.
