본 논문에서는 기존에 개발된 데이터베이스내의 데이터 소스를 공유하기 위해 통합 라이브러리를 구축하고 이를 통해 데이터베이스내의 소스 데이터에 대한 의미적인 통합을 위한 구조를 제안한다. 데이터의 의미적인 통합을 위해 데이터 스키마가 가지고 있는 실질적인 의미값을 기존의 각 데이터베이스 시스템에서 참조하고 데이터 공유에 대한 동의를 갖도록 메타 데이터를 이용하였다. 따라서 먼저 통합 라이브러리를 구축하여 메타 데이터에 대한 정보와 메타 데이터간에 존재하는 함수적인 관계를 변경 함수로 함께 구현하였으며. 데이터 통합을 위한 참고 자료는 각 시스템마다 온톨로지(Ontology)를 작성하여 활용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 메타데이터의 수정과 주가가 간단하며 새로운 시스템을 통합 라이브러리로 합병하는 비용이 현저히 감소되었다.

스마트 검색은 논리적으로 표현된 지식 베이스를 사용하여 현재의 키워드 기반 검색보다 더 정확한 결과를 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 일반 사용자는 지식 기반의 복잡하고 정형화된 질의어와 스키마를 잘 알지 못한다. 그래서 검색 시스템을 사용자 키워드의 의미를 해석할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 온톨로지를 이용한 사용자 중심 스마트 검색 프레임워크를 제안하였다.

키워드의 모호성으로 인한 검색 결과가 부정확하게 되는 문제를 해결하기 위한 질의기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 질의 기법은 TMDR을 이용한다. TMDR은 로컬 데이터베이스를 통합하기 위한 스키마 정보의 통합 관리하기위한 MDR과 데이터 접근을 위해 온톨로지 지식 저장소로 토픽맵으로 구성된다. 토픽맵은 연관관계 분석을 통한 데이터 모호성 해결을 지원한다. 이를 이용하여 기존 시스템의 이질적 문제를 해결한다. 토픽맵은 지식을 제공하고, 지식 간의 관계성을 제공하므로 키워드의 모호성을 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 TMDR을 이용하여 키워드의 모호성과 기존 시스템의 이질적 환경을 적응하기 위한 질의기법을 제안한다.

Metadata and ontology can be used to retrieve related information through the inference mure accurately and simply on the Semantic Web. RDF and RDF Schema are general languages for representing metadata and ontology. An enormous number of keywords on the Semantic Web are very important to make practical applications of the Semantic Web because most users prefer to search with keywords. In this paper, we consider a resource as a unit of query results. And we classily queries with keyword conditions into three patterns and propose indexing techniques for keyword-search considering both metadata and ontology. Our index maintains resources that contain keywords indirectly using conceptual relationships between resources as well as resources that contain keywords directly. So, if user wants to search resources that contain a certain keyword, all resources are retrieved using our keyword index. We propose a structure of table for storing RDF Schema information that is labeled using some simple methods.

In semantic web information system like ontology that access distributed information from network, efficient query processing requires an advanced caching mechanism to reduce the query response time. P2P network system have become an important infra structure in web environment. In P2P network system, when the query is initiated, reducing the demand of data transformation to source peer is important aspect of efficient query processing. Caching of query and query result takes a particular advantage by adding or removing a query term. Many of the answers may already be cached and can be delivered to the user right away. In web environment, semantic caching method has been proposed which manages the cache as a collection of semantic regions. In this paper, we propose the semantic caching technique in cluster environment of peers. Especially, using schema data filtering technique and schema similarity cache replacement method, we enhanced the query processing efficiency.

Semantic Web is getting popular to next web environment. Additionally, ontology language research is also activating to represent semantic relation of resource in semantic web. Specially, Ontology language as RDF and DAML+OIL appear on start point of research. But Ontology Language limited to describing characters of resource and to making a clear definition of relation of resource. So W3C suggest OWL at the next standard language for describing resource. OWL supply the lack of representation for RDF and RDF Schema. In this paper, we make Ontology to implement Online Retrieval System using OWL and propose the structure of storing Ontology document at the RDB. The structure support characters of OWL that are equivalent relationship, heterogeneous relationship, inverse relationship, union relationship and one of relationship between classes or properties. In this paper, we classify the extended elements for OWL from RDF Schema. And we propose the method of storing OWL using RDB for interoperability with many applications based on RDB. Finally, implement the storage and retrieval system based on OWL to provide advanced search function.

Course guidance is a mentoring process which is performed before students register for coming classes. The course guidance plays a very important role to students in checking degree audits of students and mentoring classes which will be taken in coming semester. Also, it is intimately involved with a graduation assessment or a completion of ABEEK certification. Currently, course guidance is manually performed by some advisers at most of universities in Korea because they have no electronic systems for the course guidance. By the lack of the systems, the advisers should analyze each degree audit of students and curriculum information of their own departments. This process often causes the human error during the course guidance process due to the complexity of the process. The electronic system thus is essential to avoid the human error for the course guidance. If the relation data model-based system is applied to the mentoring process, then the problems in manual way can be solved. However, the relational data model-based systems have some limitations. Curriculums of a department and certification systems can be changed depending on a new policy of a university or surrounding environments. If the curriculums and the systems are changed, a scheme of the existing system should be changed in accordance with the variations. It is also not sufficient to provide semantic search due to the difficulty of extracting semantic relationships between subjects. In this paper, we model a course mentoring ontology based on the analysis of a curriculum of computer science department, a structure of degree audit, and ABEEK certification. Ontology-based course guidance system is also proposed to overcome the limitation of the existing methods and to provide the effectiveness of course mentoring process for both of advisors and students. In the proposed system, all data of the system consists of ontology instances. To create ontology instances, ontology population module is developed by using JENA framework which is for building semantic web and linked data applications. In the ontology population module, the mapping rules to connect parts of degree audit to certain parts of course mentoring ontology are designed. All ontology instances are generated based on degree audits of students who participate in course mentoring test. The generated instances are saved to JENA TDB as a triple repository after an inference process using JENA inference engine. A user interface for course guidance is implemented by using Java and JENA framework. Once a advisor or a student input student's information such as student name and student number at an information request form in user interface, the proposed system provides mentoring results based on a degree audit of current student and rules to check scores for each part of a curriculum such as special cultural subject, major subject, and MSC subject containing math and basic science. Recall and precision are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. The recall is used to check that the proposed system retrieves all relevant subjects. The precision is used to check whether the retrieved subjects are relevant to the mentoring results. An officer of computer science department attends the verification on the results derived from the proposed system. Experimental results using real data of the participating students show that the proposed course guidance system based on course mentoring ontology provides correct course mentoring results to students at all times. Advisors can also reduce their time cost to analyze a degree audit of corresponding student and to calculate each score for the each part. As a result, the proposed system based on ontology techniques solves the difficulty of mentoring methods in manual way and the proposed system derive correct mentoring results as human conduct.

This study is intended for implementing the system environment that can help integrate and retrieve various types of data in real-time by providing semantic interoperability among distributed heterogeneous information systems. The semantic interoperability is made possible by providing a TMDR(Topicmaps Metadata Registry), a set of ontologies. TMDR, which has been made by combining MDR(MetaData Registry) and TopicMaps and storing them in the database, is able to generate distributed query and provide efficient knowledge. MDR is a metadata management technique for distributed data management. TopicMaps is an ontology representation technique that takes into consideration the hierarchy and association for accessing knowledge data. We have created TMDR, a kind of ontology, that is fit for any system and able to detect and resolve semantic conflicts on the level of data and schema. With this system we propose a query-processing technique to integrate and access heterogeneous information sources. Unlike existing retrieval methods this makes possible efficient retrieval and reasoning by providing association focusing on subjects.

A number of museums and related parties have tangible heritage data and those data are collected by different types and formats. In these days, there are no service which connect each others so if a user wants to search a data, user have to log on certain homepage and search data. In general relational database systems have used for tangible heritage but sometime there is no ontology information for such relational database system. Therefore, for efficient searching of tangible heritage, we need a method which is extracting ontology information from relational database system. And we need a method which makes alignment between local ontologies extracted from relational database system and global ontology which has global information of tangible heritage. In this paper, we propose a system which can search tangible heritage efficiently using a method of extracting ontology from RDBMS and a method of aligning between local ontology and global ontology.
