Recently according to the WIPO's policy of preserving traditional knowledge, constructing the database of traditional knowledge is in progress. To maximize the retrieving power of the knowledge resource systems which will be developed later, it is necessary to construct the ontology for the concepts used by traditional knowledge. In order to construct the ontology systematically, a standardized ontology representation method is needed, and OWL(Web Ontology Language) is the recommendation of W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) and is widely used. Ontology tools can be used to ease the construction of OWL ontology, but no research about the comparison of OWL ontology tools exists. This paper compares the tools of OWL by an objective point of view and with that one can make a decision of using the appropriate tool for constructing OWL ontologies.

최근 차세대 Web 기술로서 Semantic Web이 주목 받고 있다. Semantic Web에서는 Web상에 존재하는 문서에 Web Resource들에 대한 Ontology를 기반으로 Semantic Annotation을 하고 Ontology 추론 Agent를 통하여 의미 기반으로 Web을 검색할 수 있도록 해준다. 이와 같은 Semantic Web 기술의 핵심 요소는 Web Ontology이며 W3C에서는 이를 표현 할 수 있는 표준 언어로서 RDF기반의 OWL(Web Ontology Language) 명세를 제정하고 있다. 따라서 표준 Web Ontology 언어인 OWL을 위한 추론 시스템은 Semantic Web 검색 Agent의 구현을 위한 필수적인 기반 기술이라 할 수 있으나 아직 그 개발이 미비한 상태이다. OWL 추론 시스템을 구현하기 위해서는 OWL의 이론적인 기반을 제공하는 DL(Description Logic)을 추론할 수 있는 엔진을 사용하는 것이 한가지 방법이 될 수 있으나 OWL이 Rule과 같은 DL의 범주를 벗어나는 Vocabulary를 지원하는 언어로 확장되는 경우에 이를 처리하기가 어렵다. 또 다른 방법으로서 Logic Programming을 통하여 OWL 언어의 Semantic을 기술하고 정리 증명(Theorem Proving)을 통하여 Ontology를 추론하는 공리화(Axiomatisation) 기법이 있는데 이러한 방법의 장점은 기반이 되는 Logic의 범주 내에서 새로운 언어를 위한 Vocabulary의 확장이 용이하다는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 Axiomatisation 방법을 이용하여 OWL로 기술된 Ontology를 추론할 수 있는 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 대해 설명하기로 한다.

This paper deals with the definition, function and type of ontology based on precedent study particularly the paper describes a Using Methods for OWL vocabulary and syntactics to Ontology Automatic Construction. Also for easily learning the usage methods for OWL vocabulary and syntactics, it introduces a detailed definition for syntactics of Class, Property, Class relativeness, Property relativeness and presents a sample data and explanation based on Wine Ontology which have constructed.

Current web search includes a lot of different results with information that user does not want, because it searches information using keyword mapping. Ontology can describe the correct meaning of web resource and relationships between web resources. And we can extract suitable information that user wants using Ontology Accordingly, we need the ontology to represent knowledge. W3C announced OWL(Web Ontology Language), meaning description technology for such web resource. However, the development of a special tool that can effectively compose and edit OWL is inactive. In this paper, we designed and developed an OWL authoring system that can effectively provide the generation and edit about OWL.

In recent years, numerous studies have been attempted to exploit ontology in the area of ubiquitous computing. Especially, some kinds of ontologies written in OWL are proposed for major issues in ubiquitous computing such like context-awareness. OWL is recommended by W3C as a descriptive language for representing ontology with rich vocabularies. However, developers struggle to design ontology using OWL, because of the complex syntax of OWL. The research for OWL visualization aims to overcome this problem, but most of the existing approaches unfortunately do not provide efficient interface to visualize OWL ontology. Moreover, as the size of ontology grows bigger, each class and relation are difficult to represent on the editing window due to the small size limitation of screen. In this paper, we present OWL visualization scheme that supports class information in detail. This scheme is based on concept of social network, and we implement OWL visualization plug-in on $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ that is the most famous ontology editor.

To provide dynamic services for users in ubiquitous computing environments by considering context in real-time, in our previous work we proposed Metaservice concept, the description specification and the process for building a Metaservice library. However, our previous process generates separated models - UML, OWL, OWL-S based models - from each step, so it did not provide the established method for translation between models. Moreover, it premises aid of experts in various ontology languages, ontology editing tools and the proposed Metaservice specification. In this paper, we design the translation process from domain ontology in OWL to Metaservice Library in OWL-S and develop a visual tool in order to enable non-experts to generate consistent models and to construct a Metaservice library. The purpose of the Metaservice Library translation process is to maintain consistency in all models and to automatically generate OWL-S code for Metaservice library by integrating existing OWL model and Metaservice model.

시맨틱 웹에 이용되는 웹 온톨로지 언어들로는 RDF/RDFS, DAML+OIL, OWL 등이 있으며, 현재 W3C에서는 OWL을 웹 온톨로지 표준 언어로 삼고 있다. 기존의 웹 온톨로지 문서들의 파서는 대부분 RDF를 기반으로 한 Triple 모델을 기반으로 하여 파싱한다. 그러나 OWL의 경우는 triple 형태로 변환시키면 OWL Full의 형태를 가지게 되고 OWL 온톨로지의 표현력과 데이터의 손실을 가져오게 된다. 따라서 OWL 문서의 파싱을 위하여 우리는 OWL Abstract Syntax를 이용하여 Tree 모델을 가지는 OWL 파서를 만들고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 시맨틱 웹에서 사용되는 웹 온톨로지들을 파싱하여 온톨로지 객체 모델을 생성해주는 기능을 가지는 온톨로지 파서를 설계, 구현하였다. 논문에서 설계한 온톨로지 파서는 RDF, DAML+OIL, OWL 웹 온톨로지 문서들을 파싱하여 온톨로지 객체 모델을 생성할 때, RDF 온톨로지의 경우는 Triple 모델 형태로 파싱을 하지만, OWL 온톨로지의 경우에는 OWL Abstract Syntax Tree 모델 형태로 파싱한 후, OOM으로 변환시켜준다. 이를 위해 웹 온톨로지 언어의 종류 구분과 OWL 온톨로지의 경우, OWL Full, OWL DL, OWL Lite의 서브 타입을 구별하는 기능도 추가하였다.

We present in this paper the methodology for automatic generation of OWL-S service model ontology along with the results and issues. First, we extract information related to atomic services and their properties such as IOPE from the UML class diagram, and retrieve information related to the composition of services from the UML state-chart diagram. Then, the XSLT applications utilize the acquired information to generate the OWL-S service model ontology through the predefined mappings between OWL-S constructs for composite services and UML state-chart primitives. For the justification of generated service ontology, several validation checks are performed. Our service ontology generation method is general and fully automatic, as well as effective, in that it is achieved in an environment familiar to developers, and information needed to generate service ontology is provided necessarily during service development. It is also noticeable to facilitate representing the condition with GUI rather than a complex language such as OCL.

For accurate search on information resources, it is needed to manage gradual changes in ontology efficiently. Recently, because ontology is often written using OWL, techniques that can manage changes in OWL documents are required. To meet these needs, in this paper, we classify changeable elements to detect changes in OWL ontology and propose a storage schema that can manage the changes according to the characteristics of each element. And we suggest the possibility of improving performance of query processing using views that provide information about classes or properties in each ontology version. The proposed storage schema stores changes in metadata associated with each ontology version. In addition, it can manage metadata that must be added or deleted through reasoning when ontology changes. So, the proposed storage schema can support queries about history of changes in ontology and provide accurate and valid metadata that is suitable for user-selected ontology version.

In this paper, we propose a new XMDR-based data model to efficiently manage ontology schema structured in OWL format. The proposed model would be better equipped to manage the relationship between concepts, which is a problematic area in the existing MDR model. Moreover, we present an algorithm to manage ontology schema in the database. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, experiments were conducted to recreate OWL documents for the various expressive types of OWL ontology schema that are stored in the database. These experimental results demonstrated that the proposed model effectively managed the various types of OWL ontology schema.
