현재 지능형 웹 서비스를 위한 서비스 온톨로지의 생성은 서비스 개발자의 휴리스틱에 의존하여 많은 시간과 비용을 소모할 뿐만 아니라 서비스와 서비스 온톨로지간의 완벽한 매핑이 어렵다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 또한 서비스 온톨로지를 기술하기 위한 마크업 언어를 서비스 개발자가 단기간 내에 학습하기에 많은 어려움이 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 지능형 웹 서비스를 위한 서비스 온톨로지 생성의 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 MDA 방법론을 사용하여 서비스 온톨로지를 효율적으로 설계 및 생성하기 위한 방안을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방안은 MDA를 기반으로 널리 사용되고 있는 UML을 사용하여 웹 서비스 모델을 설계하고 이를 OWL-S에 최적화된 모델로 변환한 후 XMI를 통해 OWL-S로 기술되는 서비스 온톨로지로 변환한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방안은 이미 널리 사용되는 UML과 같은 소프트웨어 공학적 방법을 사용하기 때문에 서비스 개발자들이 쉽게 서비스 온톨로지를 구축할 수 있으며 하나의 모델로부터 서비스와 서비스 온톨로지 모델을 동시에 이끌어 낼 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 또한 모델로부터 자동적으로 서비스 온톨로지를 생성함으로써 시간과 비용을 절감할 수 있는 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 플랫폼 변화와 같은 외부 환경 변화에 유연하게 대처할 수 있다. 끝으로 본 논문에서는 제안된 방안의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 실제로 웹 서비스 모델을 설계하고 서비스 온톨로지를 생성하는 예를 보인다. 또한 생성된 서비스 온톨로지가 올바르게 생성되었는지를 유효성 검사를 통해 검증한다.

The Web is evolving quantitatively into an explosive development. However, users usually have heavy burden of searching information because of the absence of contextual meaning on the Web. Due to an enormous amount of information, users have to endure for finding strong cohesive keywords by themselves and read each of the documents with enduring effort. This paper proposes an efficient method of searching more relative documents than current KEM-based searching systems on the Web by using contextual meaning. We designed a domain ontology on computer hardware, and a searching system which was searching those e-Learning objects. Owing to the Ontology-applied search system, information such as educational materials and related multimedia can be easily provided to the users. Further, learners could be informed of relationship of knowledge, e.g., class hierarchy, properties and values, and so on. The request results are semantically related to users' needs, and thus the system provides a learner-centered searching.

웹의 활용이 보편화되면서 웹을 통한 자료의 검색이 증가하고 있으나, 웹상의 방대한 자료 중에서 학습자가 꼭 필요한 학습자료를 찾는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 검색엔진을 이용하면 원하는 정보를 어느 정도 찾을 수 있으나 사용자 의존적인 검색엔진의 특성상 결과가 만족스럽지 못한 경우도 있으며 연관이 없는 정보를 필터링하기 위해 최종적인 내용을 찾기까지 많은 시간을 낭비하는 경우가 많다. 이에 털 연구에서는 자원의 의미정보를 구조화하여 정보의 효율적인 검색, 통합, 재사용을 가능하도록 하는 시맨틱 웹 (Semantic Web)기술을 활용하여 초등학교 학습자료에 적합한 온톨로지 (Ontology)를 구축하여 이를 기반으로 초등학교 학습자료를 검색할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 본 검색시스템의 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학습자료와 연관된 사용자 질의어를 보다 상세하게 입력받는다. 둘째, 사용자 질의어를 바탕으로 온톨로지에 질의하여 검색결과를 얻는다. 셋째, 검색하고자 하는 내용의 의미를 분석하여 요구된 의미에 적합한 자료만을 검색결과로 제시한다.

Much research has been conducted on the e-learning systems for recommending a learning content to a student based on the difficulty of it. The difficulty is one of the most important factors for selecting a learning content. In the existing learning content recommendation systems, the difficulty of a learning content is determined by the creator. Therefore, it is not easy to apply a standard rule to the difficulty as it is determined by a subjective method. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based method for determining the difficulty of a learning content in order to provide an objective measurement. Previously, ontologies and knowledge maps have been used to recommend a learning content. However, their methods have the same problem because the difficulty is also determined by the creator. In this research, we use an ontology representing the IS-A relationships between words. The difficulty of a learning content is the sum of the weighted path lengths of the words in the learning content. By using this kind of difficulty, we can provide an objective measurement and recommend the proper learning content most suitable for the student's current level.

Critical practicality problems are cause to search the presentation and contents according to user request and purpose in previous internet system. Recently, there are a lot of researches about dynamic adaptable ontology based system. We designed ontology based educational system which uses discrete probability and user profile. This system provided advanced usability of contents by ontology and dynamic adaptive model based on discrete probability distribution function and user profile in ontology educational systems. This models represents application domain to weighted direction graph of dynamic adaptive objects and modeling user actions using dynamically approach method structured on discrete probability function. Proposed probability analysis can use that presenting potential attribute to user actions that are tracing search actions of user in ontology structure. This approach methods can allocate dynamically appropriate profiles to user.

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.

In this paper, we propose a model to enrich an ontology by incrementally extending the relations through variations of patterns. In order to generalize initial patterns, combinations of features are considered as candidate patterns. The candidate patterns are used to extract relations from Wikipedia, which are sorted out according to reliability based on corpus frequency. Selected patterns then are used to extract relations, while extracted relations are again used to extend the patterns of the relation. Through making variations of patterns in incremental enrichment process, the range of pattern selection is broaden and refined, which can increase coverage and accuracy of relations extracted. In the experiments with single-feature based pattern models, we observe that the features of lexical, headword, and hypernym provide reliable information, while POS and syntactic features provide general information that is useful for enrichment of relations. Based on observations on the feature types that are appropriate for each syntactic unit type, we propose a pattern model based on the composition of features as our ongoing work.

In this paper, we present an automated Web page classification system based upon ontology. As a first step, to identify the representative terms given a set of classes, we compute the product of term frequency and document frequency. Secondly, the information gain of each term prioritizes it based on the possibility of classification. We compile a pair of the terms selected and a web page classification into rules using machine learning algorithms. The compiled rules classify any Web page into categories defined on a domain ontology. In the experiments, 78 terms out of 240 terms were identified as representative features given a set of Web pages. The resulting accuracy of the classification was, on the average, 83.52%.

To ensure the successful employment of semantic web services, it is essential that they rely on the use of high quality ontologies. However, building such ontologies is difficult and costly, thus hampering web service deployment. This study automatically builds ontologies from WSDL documents and their underlying semantics, and presents discovery methods of similar web service operations using these ontologies. The key ingredient is techniques that cluster parameters in the collection of web services into semantically meaningful concepts, and capture the hierarchical relationships between the words contained in the tag. We implement an operation retrieval system for web services. This system finds out a ranked set of similar operations using a novel similarity measurement method, and selects the most optimal operation which satisfies user's requirements. It can be directly used for the web services composition.

A simple approach to semantic document-retrieval is to measure document similarity based on the bag-of-words representation, e.g., cosine similarity between two document vectors. However, such a syntactic method hardly considers the semantic similarity between documents, often producing semantically-unsound search results. We circumvent such a problem by combining supervised machine learning techniques with ontology information based on Markov logic. Specifically, Markov logic networks are learned from similarity-tagged documents with an ontology representing the diverse relationship among words. The learned Markov logic networks, the ontology, and the training documents are applied to the semantic document-retrieval task by inferring similarities between a query document and the training documents. Through experimental evaluation on real world question-answering data, the proposed method has been shown to outperform the simple cosine similarity-based approach in terms of retrieval accuracy.
