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.

Recently, distribution of record via web and coefficient of utilization are increase. so, Archival information service using website becomes essential part of record center. The main point of archival information service by website is making record information retrieval easy. It has need of matching user's request and representation of record resources correctly to making archival information retrieval easy. Archivist and record manager have used various information representation tools from taxonomy to recent thesaurus, still, the accuracy of information retrieval has not solved. This study constructed record retrieval system based on Topic Map by modeling record resources which focusing on description metadata of the records to improve this problem. The target user of the system is general web users and its range is limited to the president related sources in the National Archives Portal Service. The procedure is as follows; 1) Design an ontology model for archival information service based on topic map which focusing on description metadata of the records. 2) Buildpractical record retrieval system with topic map that received information source list, which extracted from the National Archives Portal Service, by editor. 3) Check and assess features of record retrieval system based on topic map through user interface. Through the practice, relevance navigation to other record sources by semantic inference of description metadata is confirmed. And also, records could be built up as knowledge with result of scattered archival sources.

최근 대부분의 이러닝(E-Learning)을 교육하는 사이트는 학습 콘텐츠를 검색하는 방법이 단순한 리스트의 나열과 택스트 매칭(Text matching)방법을 사용하는 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 좀 더 컴퓨터가 정보 데이터의 의미를 분석하여 검색이 가능하도록 개념 네트워크인 시맨틱웹(Semantic Web)이 등장하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시맨틱웹의 온톨로지(Ontology) 언어 중에 토픽맵(Topic Maps)을 사용하여 많은 양의 학습 정보 데이터를 쉽고도 정확하게 연결 지어 학습 콘텐츠에 대한 정보를 표현하고, 구조화할 수 있는 방법을 모색해 보고자 한다. 학습자의 관심분야 정보, 학습객체의 학습 권장자의 정보와 함께 학습 경험과 검색 빈도수를 분석한 협력 필터링과 학습 에이전트의 개인화 기법을 동시에 사용하여 선호도를 분석한다. 이 선호도를 가지고 학습자의 메타데이터를 생성하고, 로그 데이터를 따로 데이터베이스에 저장한다. 이러한 학습자의 정보와 학습 콘텐츠간의 정보를 상호 연결하여, 그 토픽맵을 사용하여 연관관계를 정의해 줌으로써 학업성취도를 높이고, 학습자 개개인의 성향에 가장 알맞은 학습 콘텐츠를 탐색해가는 네비게이터(Navigator)를 설계하였다.

Ontology merging describes the process of integrating two ontologies into a new ontology. How this is done best is a subject of ongoing research in the Semantic Web, Data Integration, Knowledge Management System, and other ontology-related application systems. Earlier research on ontology merging, however, has studied for developing effective ontology matching approaches but missed analyzing and solving methods of problems of merging two ontologies given correspondences between them. In this paper, we propose a specific ontology merging process and a generic operator, T-MERGE, for integrating two source ontologies into a new ontology. Also, we define a taxonomy of merging conflicts which is derived from differing representations between input ontologies and a method for detecting and resolving them. Our T-MERGE operator encapsulates the process of detection and resolution of conflicts and merging two entities based on given correspondences between them. We define a data structure, MergeLog, for logging the execution of T-MERGE operator. MergeLog is used to inform detailed results of execution of merging to users or recover errors. For our experiments, we used oriental philosophy ontologies, western philosophy ontologies, Yahoo western philosophy dictionary, and Naver philosophy dictionary as input ontologies. Our experiments show that the automatic merging module compared with manual merging by a expert has advantages in terms of time and effort.

Teaching is communication between instructor and students. The learning outcomes can be enhanced by active learning of students. However, there are many obstacles to effective learning below, such as lecture notes authored by instructor, passive student participation, and paper-based homework. In this paper, we propose an effective method for enhancing learning effect through constructing learner ontologies in which knowledge discovered by students is conceptualized and organized. The learning ontology is composed of a teacher ontology and many learner ontologies. The learning ontology is used in discussion, visual presentation, and knowledge sharing between instructor and students. We used the learning ontology in two lectures in practice and learned that the learning ontology enhances learning effect through analysis of feedbacks of students.
