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.

Purpose: This study is aimed at identifying factors influencing attitudes of Evidence-Based Practice among nursing students. Methods: 202 nursing students were recruited from B city and G district. The questionnaires included critical thinking dispositions, information retrieval skills, knowledge and attitudes of Evidence-Based Practice, and characteristics. Data were analyzed by SPSS/Win 21.0 using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regressions. Results: The average score of undergraduate nursing students for Evidence-Based Practice attitudes was $32.92{\pm}4.57$. Evidence-Based Practice attitudes had positive correlation with critical thinking disposition (r=.53, p<.001), information retrieval skills (r=.45, p<.001) and Evidence-Based Practice knowledge (r=.42, p<.001). Factors influencing Evidence-Based Practice attitudes were critical thinking dispositions (${\beta}=.45$) and Evidence-Based Practice knowledge (${\beta}=.30$). Total variance was explained about 35.3% (F=55.80, p<.001). Conclusion: These results show that teaching strategies that enhance critical thinking dispositions are recommended to improve Evidence-Based Practice attitudes among nursing students. Also, nursing education should include a regular Evidence-Based Practice curriculum to improve Evidence-Based Practice knowledge as is necessary for students to improve information retrieval skill. Reading nursing articles can help nursing students comprehend the up-to-data evidence of clinical practice.

This paper proposes a novel knowledge extraction system, TAKES (Two-step Approach for Knowledge Extraction System), which integrates advanced techniques from Information Retrieval (IR), Information Extraction (IE), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). In particular, TAKES adopts a novel keyphrase extraction-based query expansion technique to collect promising documents. It also uses a Conditional Random Field-based machine learning technique to extract important biological entities and relations. TAKES is applied to biological knowledge extraction, particularly retrieving promising documents that contain Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) and extracting PPI pairs. TAKES consists of two major components: DocSpotter, which is used to query and retrieve promising documents for extraction, and a Conditional Random Field (CRF)-based entity extraction component known as FCRF. The present paper investigated research problems addressing the issues with a knowledge extraction system and conducted a series of experiments to test our hypotheses. The findings from the experiments are as follows: First, the author verified, using three different test collections to measure the performance of our query expansion technique, that DocSpotter is robust and highly accurate when compared to Okapi BM25 and SLIPPER. Second, the author verified that our relation extraction algorithm, FCRF, is highly accurate in terms of F-Measure compared to four other competitive extraction algorithms: Support Vector Machine, Maximum Entropy, Single POS HMM, and Rapier.

The purpose of this research is to enhance document recognition system which is essential for developing full-text retrieval system of the document image data stored in the digital library of a public institution. To achieve this purpose, the main tasks of this research are: 1) analyzing the document image data and then developing its image preprocessing technology and document structure analysis one, 2) building its specialized knowledge base consisting of document layout and property, character model and word dictionary, respectively. In addition, developing the management tool of this knowledge base, the document recognition system is able to handle the various types of the document image data. Currently, we developed the prototype system of document recognition which is combined with the specialized knowledge base and the library of document structure analysis, respectively, adapted for the document image data housed in National Archives of Korea. With the results of this research, we plan to build up the test-bed and estimate the performance of document recognition system to maximize the utilization of full-text retrieval system.

Ontology specifies the knowledge in a specific domain and defines the concepts of knowledge and the relationships between concepts. It is possible to provide the service based on the semantic web through the ontology. Therefore, to specify and define the knowledge in a specific domain, it is required to generate the ontology which conceptualizes the knowledge. Accordingly, to search the information of potential customers for home-delivery marketing of post office, we design the specific domain to generate the ontology based on the semantic web in this paper. And we propose how to retrieve the information, using the generated ontology. We implement the data search robot which collects the information based on the generated ontology. Also, we confirm that the ontology and the search robot perform the information retrieval exactly.

As huge amount of literature including biological data is being generated after post genome era, it becomes difficult for researcher to find useful knowledge from the biological databases. Bio-text mining and related natural language processing technique are the key issues in the intelligent knowledge retrieval from the biological databases. We propose a bio-text mining technique for the biologists who find Knowledge from the huge literature. At first, web robot is used to extract and transform related literature from remote databases. To improve retrieval speed, we generate an inverted file for keywords in the literature. Then, text mining system is used for extracting given knowledge patterns and keywords. Finally, we construct a grid computing environment to guarantee processing speed in the text mining even for huge literature databases. In the real experiment for 10,000 bio-literatures, the system shows 95% precision and 98% recall.

In this paper, we propose a retrieval system using knowledges of database expressed linguistically, where the relation between data are constructed by FCM. Several algorithms have been proposed to solve the major problem in the conventional retrieval system that the system doesn't reply in case of no data equal to user's query, and to express knowledge of database linguistically. This paper proposes the improved method of adding new cluster and the method of retrieving database from user's query. The validity of this retrieval system is shown by applying its algorithm to an example : the mail order service in post office.

For the purpose of extending the Web that is able to understand and process information by machine, Semantic Web shared knowledge in the ontology form. For exquisite query processing, this paper proposes a method to use semantic relations in the ontology as relevance feedback information to query expansion. We made experiment on pharmacy domain. And in order to verify the effectiveness of the semantic relation in the ontology, we compared a keyword based document retrieval system that gives weights by using the frequency information compared with an ontology based document retrieval system that uses relevant information existed in the ontology to a relevant feedback. From the evaluation of the retrieval performance. we knew that search engine used the concepts and relations in ontology for improving precision effectively. Also it used them for the basis of the inference for improvement the retrieval performance.

According to the advancement of experimental techniques in molecular biology, genomic and protein sequence databases are increasing in size exponentially, and mean sequence lengths are also increasing. Because the sizes of these databases become larger, it is difficult to search similar sequences in biological databases with significant homologies to a query sequence. In this paper, we present the N-gram indexing method to retrieve similar sequences fast, precisely and comparably. This method regards a protein sequence as a text written in language of 20 amino acid codes, adapts N-gram tokens of fixed-length as its indexing scheme for sequence strings. After such tokens are indexed for all the sequences in the database, sequences can be searched with information retrieval algorithms. Using this new method, we have developed a protein sequence search system named as ProSeS (PROtein Sequence Search). ProSeS is a protein sequence analysis system which provides overall analysis results such as similar sequences with significant homologies, predicted subcellular locations of the query sequence, and major keywords extracted from annotations of similar sequences. We show experimentally that the N-gram indexing approach saves the retrieval time significantly, and that it is as accurate as current popular search tool BLAST.
