This study aimed to construct the Library Map Information System(LMIS) based on the Wiki theory of Web 2.0. We built this system because there was no collective source of information about every library in the world. Also, this system was developed to provide a library location information service by mashing-up with the Google Map. Through this study, the metadata applied to the newly constructed system was developed by using the Delphi method. A total of 13 experts including librarians of schools, public, academic, special, and national libraries as well as LIS faculty members and researchers, were commissioned as Delphi experts. Through three rounds of a Delphi survey analysis, the addition, modification, and deletion of the initial metadata elements was accomplished, and then the library contact/location information, library information, collection information, and event information was proposed. The metadata for LMIS was organized into four sectors and then 49 elements, each assigned to a sector.

To improve the performance of climate and numerical models, concerns on the land-atmosphere schemes are steadily increased in recent years. For the realistic calculation of land-atmosphere interaction, a land surface information of high quality is strongly required. In this study, a new land cover map over the Korean peninsula was developed using MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data. The seven phenological data set (maximum, minimum, amplitude, average, growing period, growing and shedding rate) derived from 15-day normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were used as a basic input data. The ISOData (Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis), a kind of unsupervised non-hierarchical clustering method, was applied to the seven phenological data set. After the clustering, assignment of land cover type to the each cluster was performed according to the phenological characteristics of each land cover defined by USGS (US. Geological Survey). Most of the Korean peninsula are occupied by deciduous broadleaf forest (46.5%), mixed forest (15.6%), and dryland crop (13%). Whereas, the dominant land cover types are very diverse in South-Korea: evergreen needleleaf forest (29.9%), mixed forest (26.6%), deciduous broadleaf forest (16.2%), irrigated crop (12.6%), and dryland crop (10.7%). The 38 in-situ observation data-base over South-Korea, Environment Geographic Information System and Google-earth are used in the validation of the new land cover map. In general, the new land cover map over the Korean peninsula seems to be better classified compared to the USGS land cover map, especially for the Savanna in the USGS land cover map.

Recent growth of the geospatial information on the web made it possible to applicate spatial data. Also, the demand for rich and latest information shows a steady growth. The need for the new service using conflation of the existing spatial databases is on the increase. The information delivery of the services using the road vector and aerial image is reached intuitionally and accurately. However, the spatial inconsistencies in map services such as Daum map, Naver map and Google map is the problem. Our approach is processed to extract the road candidate image, match the template and filter the control points pair using vector median. Finally, CNS node and link are aligned to the real road with the aerial image. The experimental results show that our approach can align a set of CNS node and link with aerial imagery for daejon, such that the completeness and correctness of the aligned road have improved about 35% compare with the original roads.

Georeferenced SLI(Street-Level Imagery) services such as Google Streetview, which contain abundant information about the real world, can increase its applicability substantially through conflation with other spatial datasets. For this purpose, we propose a method to improve a correspondence of building region to combine building information more accurately. First, the spatial inconsistency between SLI and vector map is removed by alignment based on road intersections. Then, visible building regions are searched from the spatial inconsistency-removed vector map, and the optimal corresponding building areas are determined in the SLI scene using the visible regions as seed information. The experimental results demonstrated that our method had improved the accuracy of building region correspondence by about 8%. Therefore, our method can be utilized effectively for enhancement of conflation service based on the SLI.

Since Web pages contain a lot of information today, the Web becomes an important resource to extract some information. In this paper, we proposes a set expansion system which can automatically extract named entities from the Web. Overall, the proposed method consists of three steps. First of all, Web pages, which may include many named entities of a domain, are collected by using several seed words of the domain. Then some pattern rules are extracted by using seed words and the collected Web pages, and the named entity candidates are selected through applying the extracted pattern rules into Web pages. To distinguish real named entities, we develop the new mutual importance measurement method which estimates the importance of named entity candidates. We conducted experiments for 3 domains for Korean and for 8 domains for English. As a result, the proposed method obtained 78.72% MAP in Korean and 96.48% MAP in English. In particular, the performances of English domains are better than the results of the Google set.

In order to extend the activity range of visually impaired persons, we design and implement a navigation system that supports road information services and points of interest. The proposed navigation system consists of route creation modules and storage modules for visually impaired persons. In particular, the main interface of the navigation system are implemented using TTS(Text-to-Speech) program for sound and braille module that outputs braille with sense of touch. We also use google map APIs that can provide latest map information for the navigation system.

In these days, according to the enhancement of the mobile communication technologies, location based services using the location and movements are vitalized. In this paper, we develop a private vehicle tracking system for garbage truck operation management using GPS and CDMA communication and Open map interface. The terminal equipment attached in vehicle receives the GPS signals and detect the position data including time, longitude, latitude, and altitude. And the terminal sends these data to the server PC through CDMA cellular network in fixed period. The server saves these data into database to process in map server program with which we can view real-time trace of moving vehicle. We apply our system to public garbage truck managing operation and we can increase operation efficiency by examine real-time working and moving path and by present reasonable operation rout.

In the homepage of 16 municipal provincial office of education, school information service displays text-based results through search step or presents the simple information of the selected area when an area is clicked on the static image map. And it has several problems such as server load and slow transfer speed by the search of the synchronous transfer. Thus, in this study, we used the open API of Google map to provide location-based school information and implemented the mash up service for school information with the Ajax program of asynchronous transfer to reduce server load and to increase transmission speed. This service gives the efficiency and convenience to students, teachers, parents and education family members of various levels because it includes the location with school information on a dynamic map.

As the usage of internet is increasing, a lot of user behavior are written in a log file and the researches and industries using the log files are getting activated recently. This paper uses the Hadoop based on open source distributed computing platform and proposes a customized tourism system by analyzing user behaviors in the log files. The proposed system uses Google Analytics to get user's log files from the website that users visit, and stores search terms extracted by MapReduce to HDFS. Also it gathers features about the sight-seeing places or cities which travelers want to tour from travel guide websites by Octopus application. It suggests the customized cities by matching the search terms and city features. NBP(next bit permutation) algorithm to rearrange the search terms and city features is used to increase the probability of matching. Some customized cities are suggested by analyzing log files for 39 users to show the performance of the proposed system.
