Topic map typically provide information to user through the selection of topics, that is using only topic, association, occurrence on the first topicmap which is made by domain expert without regard to individual interests or context, for the purpose of supplementation for the weakness which is providing personalized topic map information, personalization has been studied for supporting user preference through preseting of customize, filtering, scope, etc in topic map. Nevertheless, personalization in current topicmap is not enough to user so far. In this paper, we propose a design of PTRS(personalized topicmap ranking system) & algorithm, using both user profile(click through data) and basic element of topic map(topic, association) on knowledge layer in specific domain topicmap, therefore User has strong point that is improvement of personal facilities to user through representation of ranked topicmap information in consideration of user preference using PTRS.

In this paper, we propose a topic maps matching and merging approach based on the syntactic or semantic characteristics and constraints of the topic maps. Previous schema matching approaches have been developed to enhance effectiveness and generality of matching techniques. However they are inefficient because the approaches should transform input ontologies into graphs and take into account all the nodes and edges of the graphs, which ended up requiring a great amount of processing time. Now, standard languages for developing ontologies are RDF/OWL and Topic Maps. In this paper, we propose an enhanced version of matching and merging technique based on topic partitioning, several matching operations and merging conflict detection.

Evolutionary Computation is not only widely used in optimization and machine learning, but also being applied in creating novel structures and entities. This paper proposes evolutionary topic maps that can suggest new and creative knowledge not easily producible by humans. Interactive evolutionary computation method is applied into topic maps in order to accept human evaluation on feasibility of intermediate topic maps. Evolutionary topic maps are creativity support tools, helping users to encounter new and creative knowledge. Further work can greatly improve the system by providing more operations, preventing over-convergence, and overcoming user fatigue problem by providing more intuitive user interface, better visualization, and interpolation mechanisms.

본 논문은 토픽맵 기반 온톨로지 시스템의 통합효과 측정을 위한 연구에 앞서 통합의 가능성과 통합 성능을 측정하기 위한 프로토타입 시스템 구축에 관한 연구이다. 프로토타입 시스템 구축을 통해 자동 통합 툴의 성능을 측정하고자 한다. 이를 위해 통합 전의 단일 토픽맵에서의 검색 결과와 통합 토픽맵에서의 검색 결과를 비교하여 정답율과 재현율을 평가함으로써 통합 토픽맵이 정보의 손실 없이 단일 토픽맵들을 완전히 통합한 것인지 확인할 수 있다.

Recently many researchers have been studying various methods for data integration. Among the integration methods that the researchers have studied, there are a method using metadata repository, and Topic Map which identifies the relationships between the data. This study suggests Meta-Topic Map to create Topic Map about search keyword by applying metadata and Topic Map, and the XMDR as a way to connect Meta-Topic Map with metadata in the legacy system. Considering the semantic relationship of user's keyword in the legacy system, the Meta-Topic Map provides the Topic Map format and generates the Topic Map about user's keyword. The XMDR performs structural integration through solving the problem of heterogeneity among metadata in the legacy system. The suggested svides isproves the interoperability among existing Relational Database constructed in the legacy system and the search efficiency and is efficient in expanding the system.

The purpose of this research is to propose a powerful alternative in designing knowledge portals using Topic Maps(TM). To demonstrate the power of TM In constructing knowledge portals. we designed a TM-based korean folk music(pansori) site, tested It with an existing pansoree site (pansoree.com ) employing diverse query patterns : simple, advanced, associative, and cross referential Queries. The results show that the TM-based site outperforms the pansoree.com in searching time and steps. The TM-based site also provide novice users who do not know pansori domain with easy access to Information that they need.

현재 정보검색분야에서는 검색도구로써 시소러스가 갖는 장점에도 불구하고 기존에 개발된 시소러스의 유지관리와 활용이 극히 제한적으로 이루어지고 있기 때문이다. 왜냐하면 정보의 급격한 증가로 인하여 전통적인 시소러스의 구조와 유지관리, 활용기법으로는 현대 정보의 홍수 현상에 적극적으로 대처하는데 한계에 직면하였기 때문이다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위해 토픽맵의 구축알고리즘이 절대적으로 필요하였다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 토픽맵의 기본요소인 토픽과 대상물, 연관관계, 토픽타입 등을 이용한 시소러스 구조화 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 특히 토픽맵의 기본 요소가운데 대상물(occurrence)은 시소러스의 검색효율가운데 정도율의 확보를 가능하게 하며, 시소러스의 구축에 필요한 지식베이스의 역할을 수행하는 주요한 기법임을 확인하였다.

Due to a growing interest in searching and expressing knowledge effectively, knowledge management methods such as Topic Map are becoming more important. Topic Map organizes knowledge that is full of intricate relations, so maintaining and managing Topic Map consistently is very essential. TMCL and other constraint languages have limits as they can check simple constraints but can not support complex constraints like dependence constraints. Current constraint checking systems operating at the application level are also showing an inferiority in performance. In this paper, we extend TMCL based on the characteristics of other constraint languages in the information system field and related fields. We build and propose an RDBMS-based Topic Map constraint checking system to support the extended constraint language effectively. This new system handles complex types of constraints like dependency constraint as well as basic Topic Map constraints present in the TMCL. As the system examines each constraint it uses templates to generate queries for effective checking and overall shows a higher performance level than current systems.

The purpose of this study is to describe major concepts related to W3C OWL and ISO Topic Maps and to provide the result of comparison and analysis regarding semantic expression power between two ontology languages. This paper is comprised of the following parts: 1) describing URI and namespace concepts that are fundamental building block of effective ontology construction; 2) offering detailed explanation of major Topic Map concepts such as topics, associations, and occurrences; 3) providing how to accomplish the second purpose of cataloging(grouping related items when displaying the search result) using Topic Map; and 4) finally explaining the difference between two ontology languages in terms of semantic expression power.

제품개발과정에서 생성된 제품정보모델은 시간에 따라 계속 변하고 미확정적인 정보가 포함된 UDM(Under Defined Model)이다. 정보모델에서 관점(viewpoint)은 UDM을 표현하고 관리하는 중요한 요소이다. 토픽맵(Topic Map) 이용한 정보모델은 관점의 표현이 용이하며, 관점에 따라 인간이 정보를 이해하고 조작하는 것을 돕는다. 그러나 토픽맵은 제품개발과정의 정보모델과 같은 UDM의 표현은 가능하나, 적합하지는 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 토픽맵이 UDM에 적합하도록 토픽맵의 문법을 확장하였다. 그리고 UDM으로부터 전자상거래에 적용 가능만 FDM(Fully Defined Model)으로 변화하는 과정에 대하여 논하였다. 관점이 적용된 UDM으로는 제품을 개발하는 과정 중에 생성되는 제품 모델을 적용하였으며, 대량생산이 된 이후의 제품 모델이나 제품개발단계에서 결정이 이루어진 후의 제품모델을 FDM 또는 UDM보다 모델의 의미가 보다 확정적인 확정적UDM을 사용하였다. 그리고 세탁기의 제품정보모델을 구현 예로 사용하여, UDM이 FDM 또는 확정적UDM으로 변화하는 과정을 설명하였다.
