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.

Information integration of heterogeneous digital parts libraries or electronic pars catalogs is one of issues in B2B procurements. We need to provide an integrated view for multiple information sources. Utilization of ontologies as the metadata descriptions of the information sources can provide an integrated view. However, in order to integrate independently developed ontologies, the mismatches among them should be resolved. In this paper, we propose an ontology of meta-concepts, i.e. meta-ontology. The meta-concepts play the role of vocabulary to describe the parts library ontologies and provide well-established ontological semantics that helps the ontology modelers to consistently identify parts library concepts and systematically structure them. Consequently, the meta-ontology reduces the differences in the way the parts knowledge is interpreted and ensures the mismatches are confined to manageable mis matches, so that a software program can merge automatically. Modeling ontologies of mold and die parts libraries for B2B e-commerce is taken as an example to show how to use the meta-ontology. We also discuss how a parts library mediation system can automatically merge the well-structured parts library ontologies.

The Semantic Web has increased the interest in ontologies recently Ontology is an essential component of the semantic web and continues to change and evolve. We consider versions management schemes in ontology. We study a set of changes based on domain changes, changes in conceptualization, metadata changes, and temporal dimension. Our change specification is represented by a set of changes. A set of changes consists of instance data change, structural change, and identifier change. In order to support a query in ontology versions, we consider temporal dimension includes valid time. Ontology versioning brings about massive amount of versions to be stored and maintained. We present the ontology versions management schemes that are 1) storing all the change sets, 2) storing the aggregation of change sets periodically, and 3) storing the aggregation of change sets using an adaptive criterion. We conduct a set of experiments to compare the performance of each versions management schemes. We present the experimental results for evaluating the performance of the three version management schemes from scheme 1 to scheme 3. Scheme 1 has the least storage usage. The average response time in Scheme 1 is extremely large, those of Scheme 3 is smaller than Scheme 2. Scheme 3 shows a good performance relatively.

In national defense, established information systems are mainly based on simple information processing, such as mass data query. They have thus lacked intelligent ability of information and knowledge representation ability. We therefore need the research about the construction of military ontology which is the main topic for knowledge construction. Military ontology can help us develop the intelligent national defense information system which can search and manage information efficiently. In this paper, we present the six-step bottom-up approach for military ontology extraction, then we apply this approach to one of military domain, called national defense educational training, and finally implement it using $Prot\acute{e}g\acute{e}$ which is one of the most useful ontology development tool.

With the development of information technology, knowledge information-oriented and information systems are being rapidly paced. In addition, doctor's needs of the system that assist decision making is gradually increasing. Because the complex process of decision-making should be a lot. We propose a web based system for supporting medical treatment based on Korean medicine ontology. There are three kinds of processes. First, a pattern is decided for patient' symptoms, a formula for the pattern is selected and medicinal materials constituting the formula is added or removed. Second, a formula is decided for patient' symptoms, medicinal materials constituting the formula is added or removed. Third, a Treat method is decided for patient' symptoms, medicinal materials constituting the formula is added or removed. We have designed and implemented the clinical decision support system that supports flexible processes and necessary information and functions. The system shows the appropriate form of ontology knowledge as interrelated and provide analysis and processing, does not show simply search. The system is one of the systems utilizing ontology and a web based system that can be used in anywhere. Therefore, This system Will be useful as for doctors to make decision.

The focus of traditional evaluations of ontologies is largely performance-based. A comparison of a new ontology with well-established ones, testing of ontologies in different applications, as well as any judgment of an ontology's appropriateness and relatedness to source data heavily rely on what results that ontology seems to manifest. This study, on the other hand, is an attempt to evaluate the quality of a particular ontology as manifested by its structure, representation, and interoperability. To that end, major categories of quality evaluations were first identified through an extensive survey of literature. Evaluation questions were formulated from these categories using the Delphi method and were validated by ontology experts. The entire process produced a set of 53 evaluation questions, which was then employed to test the quality of a newly-developed smartphone ontology.

The semantic web-based social network is highly useful in a variety of areas. In this paper we make diverse analyses of the FOAF-based social network, and propose an expert recommendation system. This system presents useful method of ontology-based social network using SparQL, RDFS inference, and visualization tools. Then we apply it to real social network in order to make various analyses of centrality, small world, scale free, etc. Moreover, our system suggests method for analysis of an expert on specific field. We expect such method to be utilized in multifarious areas - marketing, group administration, knowledge management system, and so on.
