The semantic web-based social network is highly useful in a variety of areas. In this paper we make diverse analyses of the FOAF-based social network, and propose an expert recommendation system. This system presents useful method of ontology-based social network using SparQL, RDFS inference, and visualization tools. Then we apply it to real social network in order to make various analyses of centrality, small world, scale free, etc. Moreover, our system suggests method for analysis of an expert on specific field. We expect such method to be utilized in multifarious areas - marketing, group administration, knowledge management system, and so on.

차세대 웹의 중심기술인 시맨틱 웹을 구현하기 위해서는 컴퓨터가 지식을 추론하고 처리할 수 있게 하기 위한 지식표현방법인 온톨로지가 필수적으로 요구된다. 이러한 온톨로지 생성의 중요성이 점차 커져 가는 실정에 따라, 생성된 온톨로지들의 재사용을 위한 방법이 관련 연구들 사이에 중요한 과제로 떠오르기 시작되었다. 본 논문에서는 온톨로지의 재사용을 효율적으로 하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 우리가 제안하는 방법은 온툴로지를 사용자가 이해하기 쉽고 편집이 용이한 그래프 형태로 표현하는 방법으로 온톨로지를 UML로 변환하여 UML을 통한 온툴로지 재사용 방안을 제안한다. 우리가 제안하는 방법은 다음과 같다. OMG의 MDA 개념을 기반으로 기존에 생성된 온톨로지를 XML 파서를 이용하는 방법을 통하여 XMI로 변환한다. XMI로 변환된 온툴로지는 UML 도구를 사용하여 재사용 할 수 있다. UML로 변환된 온톨로지는 위 과정을 역으로 다시 수행함으로써 온톨로지로 변환된다. 이렇게 UML로 변환된 온톨로지는 UML의 장점을 그대로 가지게 된다. 이미 널리 사용되고 가독성과 편집력 그리고 상호 운용성이 높은 UML을 이용하여 온톨로지의 재 사용성을 높이고자 하는데 있다. 즉 사용자가 직관적으로 온톨로지의 전체 구조와 의미를 파악하는데 도움을 주며 편집 또한 용이하다. 이러한 방법을 바탕으로 UML을 통해 온톨로지를 쉽게 사용자의 온톨로지에 대한 이해와 수정을 도와 온톨로지의 재 사용성을 높이고 사용자간의 공유를 용이하게 만들 수 있다.

The ultimate purpose of cities is 'the enhancement of quality of life in city'. In order to achieve this, it is required to optimize the Ontology-driven ubiquitous services included in the U-City and UIS of regions and communities and so on. Almost U-Service's contents are related to spatial or temporal extent. So it is important to design Spatio-temporal event schema for efficient access to U-City. There is a rapid change into an urban society in the shape of Ontology-driven ubiquitous services in which a content on a region or an incident is newly reconstructed through various ideas with the influence of the ubiquitous environment.

Currently, in order to develop an intelligent search engine to help users retrieve information effectively, many metodes have been used. The effective retrieval methods of these methods use ontology technology. Ontology technology is the core of the Semantic Web. In the Semantic Web, ontology technology can be used to retrieve related information through the inference engine more accurately and simply on the Semantic Web. In this paper, we implement and design college information retrieval based on ontology to retrieve college class, graduate school class and person class. We have collected the hierarchy structure about the College, graduate school and person informations, and we have used protege editor of the ontology developing tool to design some ontologies with the College informations collected. We also tested the designed ontology with the Inference Engine(Pellet) of protege editor, and implemented college information retrieval system using Inference Engine(Jena) for web services.

To provide dynamic services for users in ubiquitous computing environments by considering context in real-time, in our previous work we proposed Metaservice concept, the description specification and the process for building a Metaservice library. However, our previous process generates separated models - UML, OWL, OWL-S based models - from each step, so it did not provide the established method for translation between models. Moreover, it premises aid of experts in various ontology languages, ontology editing tools and the proposed Metaservice specification. In this paper, we design the translation process from domain ontology in OWL to Metaservice Library in OWL-S and develop a visual tool in order to enable non-experts to generate consistent models and to construct a Metaservice library. The purpose of the Metaservice Library translation process is to maintain consistency in all models and to automatically generate OWL-S code for Metaservice library by integrating existing OWL model and Metaservice model.

As the internet continues to grow, the quantity of information on the Web increases beyond measure. The internet users' abilities and requirements to use information also become varied and complicated. Ontology can describe correct meaning of web resource and relationships between web resources. And it can extract conformable information that a user wants. Accordingly, we need the ontology to represent knowledge. W3C announced OWL(Web Ontology Language), a meaning description technology for such web resources. But, the development of a professional use of tools that can compose and edit effectively is not yet developed adequately. In this paper, we design and implement an Ontology editor which generates and edits OWL documents through intuitional interface, with a OWL parser, a Internal DataModel, and a Serializer.

The development of Semantic Web basically requires knowledge which is induced by the formalization and semantization of information, and thus ontology should be introduced as a knowledgization tool. URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) is an indispensible scheme to uniquely indicate individuals on ontology. However, it is difficult to find the use cases of identifiers or URIs in real data sets including science & technology publications. This paper describes the method to construct, manage, and serve reference information based on URI which is a crucial component on establishing national R&D reference information ontology. We expect the reference information which was acquired from about 7,000 proceeding papers would be adopted to Semantic Web applications such as researcher network analysis and outcome statistics.

Electronic catalog contains ich semantics associated with products, and serves as a challenging practical domain for ontology application. Ontology is concerned with the nature and relations of being. It can play a crucial role in e-commerce as a formalization of e-Catalogs. Description Logics provide a theoretical core for most of the current ontology languages. In this paper, we present an ontological model of e-Catalogs in DL. We take an Extended Entity Relationship approach for conceptual modeling method, and present the fundamental set of modeling constructs and corresponding description language representation for each construct. Additional semantic knowledge can be represented directly in DL. Our modeling language stands within SHIQ(d) which is known reasonably practical with regard to its expressiveness and complexity. We illustrate sample scenarios to show how our approach may be utilized in modeling e-Catalogs, and also implement the scenarios through a DL inference tool to see the practical feasibility.

The goal of Semantic Web is to provide efficient and effective semantic search and web services based on the machine-processable semantic information of web resources. Therefore, the process of creating and adding computer-understandable metadata for a variety of web contents, namely, semantic annotation is one of the fundamental technologies for the semantic web. Recently, in order to manage annotation metadata, direct approach for embedding metadata into the document is mainly used in semantic annotation. However, many semantic annotation tools for web documents have been mainly worked with HTML documents, and most of these tools do not support semantic search functionalities using the metadata. In this paper, based on these problems and previous works, we propose the Ontology-based Semantic Annotation tool(OSA) to efficiently support semantic annotation for web documents(such as HTML, PDF). We define a semantic annotation model that represents ontological-semantic information by using RDFS(RDF Schema). Based on XMP(eXtensible Metadata Platform) standard, the model is encoded directly into the document. By using OSA with XMP, user can perform semantic annotation on web documents which are able to keep compatibility for managing annotation metadata. Eventually, the integrated semantic annotation metadata can be used effectively in semantic search for a variety of web contents.

There are many kinds of applications or software components to manage files in a local computer, but it is very difficult to organize personal documents in a consistent way and to search expected ones in a precise way. In this paper, we present our development of a document management and retrieval tool, which is named Ontalk. Our system provides a semi-automatic metadata generator and an ontology-based search engine for electronic documents. Ontalk can create and import various ontologies in RDFS or OWL for describing the metadata. Our system that is built upon.NET technology is easily communicated with or flexibly plugged into many different programs.
