One of core technology in Web 2.0 is tagging, which is applied to multimedia data such as web document of blog, image and video etc widely. But unlike expectation that the tags will be reused in information retrieval and then maximize the retrieval efficiency, unacceptable retrieval results appear owing to toot limitation of tag. In this paper, in the base of preceding research about image retrieval through tag clustering, we design and implement a topic map generation system which is a semantic knowledge system. Finally, tag information in cluster were generated automatically with topics of topic map. The generated topics of topic map are endowed with mean relationship by use of WordNet. Also the topics are endowed with occurrence information suitable for topic pair, and then a topic map with semantic knowledge system can be generated. As the result, the topic map preposed in this paper can be used in not only user's information retrieval demand with semantic navigation but alse convenient and abundant information service.

A topic map was designed as an efficient information retrieval method that is optimized for classification, organization, and navigation through the use of a semantic link network above information resources. With this, this study aims to design a topic map-based university archives retrieval system to provide the relevant information retrieval. For this study, electronic records that relate to the academic administration within two years of D university were collected, and topic map editing was carried out with Ontopia Omnigator. Topics were classified according to their functional analysis of academic administration. In the end, the number of topics was finalized as 626, with 6 types in general: academic work, staff, college register, student, university, etc. Association was separated into six types as well, which were formed with consideration to the relationships among topics. In addition, there are seven occurrence types: register class, register number, register date, receiver, title, creator, and identifier. It is expected that the associative nature of the designed topic map-based retrieval system in this study will make navigation of large records easy and allow incidental discovery of knowledge.

This study suggests a method for extending XMDR to integrate and search legacy system. This extension blends MSO(Meta Semantic Ontology) for the management of metadata, ML(Meta Location) for the management of location information, and Topic Map which is the standard language used to represent semantic web. This study refers to it as TMDR(Topic Map MetaData Registry). As an intelligent layer, Topic Map functions like an index. However, if the data frequently changes, the efficiency of Topic Map may drop. To solve this problem, the proposed system represents the relation among metadata, the relation among real data, and the relation between metadata and real data as Topic Map. The represented Topic Map proposes a method to reduce the changing relation among real data caused by the relation among metadata.

국내에서도 표준화 작업이 진행 중인 토픽맵은 분산된 정보와 지식의 관리를 지원하기 위한 국제 표준이다. 이 논문에서는 이클립스(Eclipse) 플랫폼의 플러그인 개발환경인 GMF를 이용하여 비교적 작은 도메인에 대한 토픽맵의 구조를 도식화된 방법으로 표현하고, 간편하고 직관적인 편집기능을 사용자에게 제공하며, 이러한 구조의 간단한 프로토타입 정보라 할 수 있는 Linear Topic Map Notation(LTM)을 만들어 내는 플러그 인을 소개할 것이다.

효율적이고 체계적인 정보관리를 위해 최근 연구들은 시멘틱웹(semantic web), 지식관리, 메타데이터의 통합 등에 많은 관심을 두고 있다. 그러한 연구들은 자원(resources)의 기술을 어떻게 표현할 것인가에 대한 기술구조와 그 구조를 표현하기 위한 기계 언어 등을 다루고 있다. 특히 자원의 기술을 어떻게 표현할 것인가에 대한 기술적인 구조로 가장 널리 사용되는 것은 RDF와 토픽맵(Topic Maps)을 들 수 있다. 정보조직이나 시멘틱웹 등의 연구에서 자주 등장하는 위의 개념들을 정확하게 이해하고 무엇보다 그 개념들 간의 관계를 알아보는 것이 중요할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 RDF와 토픽맵에서, 정보 즉 표현하고자 하는 대상을 표현하는 방법을 살펴보고, 두 기법간의 상호운용성에 대한 선행연구로 RDF와 토픽맵의 유사점과 차이점을 비교하고자 한다.

The Topic Maps paradigm allows people and organizations to integrate and merge heterogeneous products classification systems such as UNSPSC and HS. Merging their product ontologies could combine information about classification scheme for products. We analyzed two product classification schemes for UML modeling and developed an integrated TM for watches . Examples in XTM syntax show how UNSPSC and HS can be integrated by merging their ontology.

시맨틱 웹과 에이전트 시스템을 위한 지식 기반(Knowledge Base)을 구축하기 위해 W3C의 RDF와 ISO의 토픽맵(Topic Maps)이 사용되고 있다. 이 두 표준은 표현력 상에서 중복되는 부분이 많음에도 불구하고 서로 다른 방면을 추구하였지만, 최근 W3C에서는 Task Force 팀을 구성하여 둘 사이의 상호운용성을 확보하려는 시도를 보이고 있다. 이에 따라 단순히 자원에 대한 메타 데이터를 구축하는 RDF에 semantic을 부여하는 RDF Vocabulary인 OWL과 토픽맵 간의 상호운용도 관심을 받기 시작하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 OWL과 토픽맵의 상호운용 가능성을 확인하기 위해 두 표준을 지원하는 각 저작 도구를 활용하여 표현력과 기능적 비교를 수행하고 이를 통하여 둘 사이에 어떠한 차이점이 있는가와 기능적인 극복을 위한 대안을 제시한다.

토픽맵은 RDF에 기반을 둔 OWL과 많은 유사점을 갖지만, 양자는 역사적, 기술적, 의도하는 목적에서 차이가 있다. 토픽맵은 ISO 표준이지만, OWL은 W3C의 온톨로지 개발 표준언어로서 양자는 각각의 제약언어, 데이터 모델, 그리고 일련의 구문들을 별개로 갖는다. 그러나 토픽맵과 OWL 양자는 지식을 표현하는 온톨로지 언어라는 공통적 특성을 가지며, 술어로직에 기반을 두고 있고, XML포맷이기 때문에 상호간에 매핑이 가능하다. 논문의 목적은 토픽맵과 OWL의 메타모델로부터 온톨로지 정보자원의 공유, 교환, 통합에 접근시킨다. 따라서 각각의 메타모델에서 주요 요소를 추출하고, 이들의 의미적인 측면과 구조적인 측면의 요소들의 손실이 발생되지 않도록 매핑을 수행한다.

Need for machine-understandable web (Semantic web) is increasing in order for users to exactly understand Web information resources and currently there are two main approaches to solve the problem. One is the Topic map developed by the ISO/IEC JTC 1 and the other is the RDF (Resource Description Framework), one of W3C standards. Semantic web supports all of the metadata of the Web information resources, thus the necessity of interoperability between the Topic map and the RDF is required. To address this issue, several conversion methods have been proposed. However, these methods have some problems such as loss of meanings, complicated structure, unnecessary nodes, etc. In this paper, a new method is proposed to resolve some parts of those problems. The method proposed is called NOWL (NO structural Warp and semantics Loss). NOWL method gives several contributions such as maintenance of the original a Topic map instance structure and elimination of the unnecessary nodes compared with the previous researches.

Ontology mapping is the task of finding semantic correspondences between two ontologies. In order to improve the effectiveness of ontology mapping, we need to consider the characteristics and constraints of data models used for implementing ontologies. Earlier research on ontology mapping, however, has proven to be inefficient because the approach 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. In this paper, we propose a multi-strategic mapping approach to find correspondences between ontologies based on the syntactic or semantic characteristics and constraints of the topic maps. Our multi-strategic mapping approach includes a topic name-based mapping, a topic property-based mapping, a hierarchy-based mapping, and an association-based mapping approach. And it also uses a hybrid method in which a combined similarity is derived from the results of individual mapping approaches. In addition, we don't need to generate a cross-pair of all topics from the ontologies because unmatched pairs of topics can be removed by characteristics and constraints of the topic maps. For our experiments, we used oriental philosophy ontologies, western philosophy ontologies, Yahoo western philosophy dictionary, and Yahoo german literature dictionary as input ontologies. Our experiments show that the automatically generated mapping results conform to the outputs generated manually by domain experts, which is very promising for further work.
