In this paper, we propose a new XMDR-based data model to efficiently manage ontology schema structured in OWL format. The proposed model would be better equipped to manage the relationship between concepts, which is a problematic area in the existing MDR model. Moreover, we present an algorithm to manage ontology schema in the database. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, experiments were conducted to recreate OWL documents for the various expressive types of OWL ontology schema that are stored in the database. These experimental results demonstrated that the proposed model effectively managed the various types of OWL ontology schema.

온톨로지 언어를 기반으로 하는 시맨틱 웹 상에서 온톨로지 데이터에 대한 질의를 효율적으로 처리하기 위해서는 질의 처리에 효과적인 저장 스키마의 구축이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온톨로지 데이터의 검색을 위한 효과적인 저장 스키마 구축 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 아울러 본 논문에서 제안하는 저장 스키마를 위한 질의 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 온톨로지 데이터를 추출할 때에는 계층 구조를 기반으로 질의 수행을 해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 계층 정보를 유지하기 위해 별도의 XML 문서를 기존의 넘버링 기법을 기반으로 생성하여 하위 정보의 추출을 효과적으로 지원하고자 한다. 실험을 통한 질의 처리 성능을 통해서 본 논문에서 제안하는 저장 스키마 기법과 질의 처리 기법이 효과적임을 보인다.

시맨틱웹의 구현 도구로써 온톨로지가 있다. 온톨로지는 지식개념의 의미적 연결을 하는데 사용된다. 영어 위키피디아를 토대로 한 영어 DBpedia 온톨로지는 스키마(owl파일 형태)와 인스턴스 모두 잘 구축이 되어있다. 그리고 영어 DBpedia의 각 Class에 한글은 레이블의 형태로 달려있다. 하지만 한글 레이블을 가지고 있지 않은 영어 DBpedia의 Class들이 절반이 넘기 때문에 한글 Class들만으로 된 스키마 구축은 의미가 있다. 한글 Class들로 만들어진 스키마가 있다면 두 한글 온톨로지 사이의 클래스 매칭 알고리즘을 위한 실험이나 한글 온톨로지 자동 증강 알고리즘의 연구 등에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서 구축한 한글 DBpedia 온톨로지 스키마는 영문 DBpedia 온톨로지의 계층구조와 한글 클래스와 영문 클래스 사이의 매핑정보를 바탕으로 구축되었다. 그리고 기존에 제공되는 한글 DBpedia 온톨로지 클래스의 영어매핑 정보가 있는 한글 프로퍼티와 영어매핑 정보가 없는 한글 프로퍼티를 모두 한글 클래스의 프로퍼티로 입력해주었다.

본 연구는 시맨틱 데이터 정합성 검사와 RDF 트리플 생성 기능을 가진 URI 서버 내 DB 스키마의 자동 생성 방안을 기술한다. URI 서버는 시맨틱 웹 기술 기반 프레임워크 구성에 필요한 핵심 엔진으로서 인스턴스 생성 관리기, 검색 엔진, 추론 엔진 등과의 상호 작용을 통해 시맨틱 데이터를 서비스한다. 도메인이 바뀌거나 서비스가 변경되는 경우 DB 스키마를 전문가에 의해 수작업으로 생성함으로써 서비스 환경 변화에 즉각 대응하지 못하는 문제점을 가진 기존 URI 서버를, 적재되는 온톨로지에 따라 DB 스키마를 동적으로 자동 생성하는 방식으로 변경함으로써 다양한 응용 분야와 도메인에의 높은 이식성(Portability)을 보장할 수 있도록 한다. 기반정보 온톨로지, 응용 온톨로지, 개인화 온톨로지 등 3개 온톨로지 스키마와 11만 건 이상의 Citeseer Open Access Metadata로부터 추출된 인스턴스를 대상으로 한 실험을 통해 URI 서버 내 DB 스키마 자동 생성 가능성을 실증하였다.

Ontology schema reasoning is used to maintain consistency of concepts and build concept hierarchy automatically. For the purpose, the search of concepts must be inevitably performed. Ontology schema reasoning performs the test of subsumption relationships of all the concepts delivered in the test set. The result of subsumption tests is determined based on the creation of complete graphs, which seriously weighs with the performance of reasoning. In general, the process of creating complete graph has been known as expressive procedure. This process is essential in improving the leading performance. In this paper, we propose a method enhancing the classification performance by identifying unnecessary subsumption test supported by optimized searching method on subsumption relationship test among concepts. It is achieved by propagating subsumption tests results into other concept.

This research proposes a concept of multi-aspect Social IoT platform that enables human, machine and service to communicate smoothly among them, as well as a means of an automatic process for transforming exiting domain knowledge representation to generic ontology representation used in the platform. Current research focuses on building a machine-based service interoperability using sensor ontology and device ontology. However, to the best of our knowledge, the research on building a semantic model reflecting multi-aspects among human, machine, and service seems to be very insufficient. Therefor, in the research we first build a multi-aspect ontology schema to transform the representation used in each domain as a part of IoT into ontology-based representation, and then develop an automatic process of generating multi-aspect IoT ontology from the domain knowledge based on the schema.

According to the widespread use of ontology documents, a management system which store ontology data and process queries is needed for retrieving semantic information efficiently. In this paper I propose a storage schema that stores and retrieves semantic web documents based on RDF/RDFS ontology language developed by W3C in a relational databases. Specially, the proposed storage schema is designed to retrieve efficiently hierarchy information and to increase efficiency of query processing. Also, I describe a mechanism to transform RQL semantic queries to SQL relational queries and build up database using MS-ACCESS and implement in this paper. According to the result of implementation, we can blow that not only data query based on triple model but also query for schema and hierarchy information are transformed simply to SQL.

Building ontology is the key factor to construct semantic web. However, this is time-consuming process. Hence, there are several approaches which automatically generate the ontologies from relational databases. Current studies on the automatic generation of the ontologies from relational database are focused on generating the ontology by analyzing the database schema and stored data. These studies generate the ontology by analyzing only tables and constraints in the schema and ignore view definitions. However, view definitions are defined by a database designer considering the domain of the database. Hence, by considering view definitions, additional classes and hierarchical relationships can be generated. And these are useful in answering queries and integration of ontologies. In this paper, we formalize the generation of classes and hierarchical relationships by analyzing existing methods, and we propose the method which generates additional classes and hierarchical relationships by analyzing view definitions. Finally, we analyze the generated ontology by applying our method to synthetic data and real-world data. We show that our method generates meaningful classes and hierarchical relationships using view definitions.

Continual attempts to accumulate and apply information eventually gave birth to the concept of the "Semantic Web". Thus, the "Semantic Web" can be defined as a product of mankind's desire to standardize information. At the same time, the term provides "a method that standardizes mankind's concept of linguistical expression", and can be noted as an effort to combine such methods into a standard web environment that may materialize to form a catalogue. This study introduced RDF schema, ontology languages for the semantic web, and ontology-based systems. 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 facettype 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.

This paper proposes an ontology population model based on ISO/IEC 11179. Much research has recently been done on harmonizing Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web, and the harmonization is defined as Web 3.0. The most important issues for realizing Web 3.0 include defining ontology schemas and populating instances for ontologies. To resolve the issue, Web ontology schemas should be precisely defined, and a method for populating Web ontology from Web resources should be developed. This paper proposes a Web ontology population model based on ISO/IEC 11179 - Metadata Registry (MDR), which is the international standard, developed to manage and use common standard concepts.
