  • The purpose of this study is to develop a faceted classification that enables the conceptualization and the organization of Korean food information. 23,470 terms were collected, categorized, and analyzed from the table of contents in 776 monographs and directory headings in portal sites related to Korean food. In order to develop the Korean food classification, common properties were analyzed in the process of categorizing terms. Then basic facets and subfacets were defined and assigned, and hierarchies among facets and concepts, citation orders, and notations were decided. As a result, the classification scheme consisted of 16 basic facets and 85 subfacets. The citation order of facets was proposed in order of Personality facet (kinds of dishes), Matter facet (materials, cooking utensils/equipment/containers, and nutrients), Energy facet (cooking processes and techniques, eating sense, type of cooking, table services, and agents of cooking), Space facet (countries/ethnic groups/geography, and eating places), Time facet (situation/purposes, season, time of meals, periods, and ages). The result of this study will be used for organizing, searching, retrieving, and providing Korean food information effectively around the world. Also, it will provide a foundation for developing subject-oriented classification using facet analysis in other disciplines.

  • In digital pathology, an electronic system in the biomedical domain storage of the files is a big constrain and because all the analysis and annotation takes place at every user-end manually, it becomes even harder to manage the data that is being shared inside an enterprise. Therefore, we need such a storage system which is not only big enough to store all the data but also manage it and making communication of that data much easier without losing its true from. A virtual server setup is one of those techniques which can solve this issue. We set a main server which is the main storage for all the virtual machines(that are being used at user-end) and that main server is controlled through a hypervisor so that if we want to make changes in storage overall or the main server in itself, it could be reached remotely from anywhere by just using the server's IP address. The server in our case includes XML-RPC based API which are transmitted between computers using HTTP protocol. JAVA API connects to HTTP/HTTPS protocol through JAVA Runtime Environment and exists on top of other SDK web services for the productivity boost of the running application. To manage the server easily, we use Tkinter library to develop the GUI and pmw magawidgets library which is also utilized through Tkinter. For managing, monitoring and performing operations on virtual machines, we use Python binding to XML-RPC based API. After all these settings, we approach to make the system user friendly by making GUI of the main server. Using that GUI, user can perform administrative functions like restart, suspend or resume a virtual machine. They can also logon to the slave host of the pool in case of emergency and if needed, they can also filter virtual machine by the host. Network monitoring can be performed on multiple virtual machines at same time in order to detect any loss of network connectivity.

  • Providing reliable and high quality information sources will be one of the basic skills of librarians in the future. Therefore, this study proposed evaluation criteria for health-related information sources based on a survey of public and medical librarians. As a result, a total of 21 items were selected as evaluation items, in three groups. The first, the health information content group, had 13 evaluation items, including accuracy, recency, medical expertise, regular updates, consideration of audience, objectivity, ease of understanding, plain (non-scientific or technical) language, completeness, relevance to the topic, verifiability, citation of information sources, and specification of precautions or warnings. The second group, the health-information sources group, had 5 evaluation items including clarity of health information for achieving its purpose, clarification of the responsibility of health information, compliance to the privacy policy, fairness of health information providers, and ethics of health information providers. The third group was the health-information website design group, and featured 4 evaluation criteria: ease of access, search capabilities, website ease of use, and query-response services.

  • In modern society, the economic and cultural influence of characters is increasing day by day. However, there is no comprehensive records management system for characters in Korea. The purpose of this study is to identify the necessity of comprehensive character records management system and requirements for records producers and users, and suggest a construction plan for archives that reflects this idea. Related cases in domestic and overseas were identified and analyzed, survey was conducted of character designers and users participating in the '2017 Character Licensing Fair' in order to understand their needs on character archives, and it was followed by interviews of two character designers. From the implications of the related cases and the analysis results of the questionnaire survey and the interviews, plans for records collection, management, and services were suggested for constructing character archives. Specifically, preparation of collection policy, insertion of watermark to prevent pirating, online sales of characters, and one-stop service that can provide licensing for copyright protection and record utilization were suggested.

  • This paper designs and implements a message passing library called JMPI (Java Message Passing Interface) which complies with MPJ (Message Passing in Java), the MPI standard Specification for Java language, This library provides some graphic user interface tools to enable parallel computing environments to be configured very simply by their administrators and JMPI applications to be executed very conveniently. Also in this paper, we implement two versions of systems using Socket and RPC which are both typical distributed system communication mechanisms and with three benchmark applications, compare performance of these systems with that of an existing system JPVM depending on the increasing number of the computers. Experimental results show that our systems outperform JPVM system in terms of various aspects and that the most efficient processing speedup can be obtained by increasing the number of the computers in consideration of network traffic through processing evaluation. Finally, we can see that, as the number of computers increases, using RMI to transmit a message is more effective than using object streams attached to sockets to transmit a message.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze information needs and information usage of academic information users. This study aims to identify more specific information needs through an analysis of the gap between undergraduate and graduate users. Interviews with 20 users of K and S University were conducted for this study. As the result of this study, we found that the information needs from undergraduate and graduate users are different. The undergraduate users were less satisfied (30%) with information results than the graduate (90%) users and types of their needed information were more diversified. Additionally, the study suggests that information services for undergraduate users should be developed more seriously because their information satisfaction was considerably lower even though they actively utilize information.

  • The purposes of this study are to review the historical development of food and culture in the KDC (Korean Decimal Classification) and to propose improvements of the KDC to classify materials of food and culture by using the KDC effectively. First of all, changes of classification numbers and headings related to food and culture from the 1st edition to the 5th edition of the KDC were examined. Recent books about food and culture were examined and were classified according to the latest edition of the KDC. Several problems were found including a lack of headings, including notes in food and culture, a lack of headings about Korean foods in particular and reflections about various foods from other countries, a lack of detailed relative headings, and the remaining western oriented headings. Other classification systems about food and culture were analyzed and it was found that there was a need to have new headings for classifying Korean traditional foods and table services, new formats for a relative index, detailed notes, and changes in western oriented headings.

  • A recent sharp increase of the biomedical literature causes researchers to struggle to grasp the current research trends and conduct creative studies based on the previous results. In order to alleviate their difficulties in keeping up with the latest scholarly trends, numerous attempts have been made to develop specialized analytic services that can provide direct, intuitive and formalized scholarly information by using various text mining technologies such as information extraction and event detection. This paper introduces and evaluates total 8 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models for extracting biomedical events from academic abstracts by applying various feature utilization approaches. Also, this paper conducts performance comparison evaluation for the proposed models. As a result of the comparison, we confirmed that the Entity-Type-Fully-Connected model, one of the introduced models in the paper, showed the most promising performance (72.09% in F-score) in the event classification task while it achieved a relatively low but comparable result (21.81%) in the entire event extraction process due to the imbalance problem of the training collections and event identify model's low performance.
