As flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) are highly automated and required flexibility to satisfy market need, dispatching rules are constrained by specific environments of manufacturing systems such as mechanical failures, absence of employees, and lack of spare parts. In this paper, an ontology-based knowledge approach is proposed to improve efficiency of system through adapting suitable dispatching rules, considering context in a FMS shop floor, which consists multiple manufacturing cells. the multi-agents monitor manufacturing system status and job so that it figures out a dispatching rule considering context. To demonstrate the proposed approach, a proof-of-concept prototype system has been implemented in the $JADE^{TM}$ platform and Protege to make OWL DL ontology.

As external data have become important corporate information resources, there are growing needs to combine them with internal data. This paper proposes an ontology-based scheme to combine external data with multi-dimensional databases, which shall be called multi-dimensional event ontology. In the ontology, external data are represented as events. Event characteristics such as actors, places, times, targets are linked to dimensions of a multi-dimensional database. By mapping event characteristics to database dimensions, external event data are shared via multi-dimensional hierarchies. This paper proposes rules to synchronize information sharing in multi-dimensional event ontology such as upward event information sharing, downward event information sharing and complex event information sharing. These rules are implemented using Protege. This study has a value in suggesting Big Data information sharing processes using an event database framework.

This study constructed an ontology targeting journal articles and evaluated its performance. Also, the performance of a triple structure ontology was compared with the knowledge base of an inverted index file designed for a simple keyword search engine. The coverage was three years of articles published in the Journal of the Korean Society for Information Management from 2007 to 2009. Protege was used to construct an ontology, whilst utilizing an inverted index file to compare performance. The concept ontology was manually established, and the bibliography ontology was automatically constructed to produce an OWL concept ontology and an OWL bibliography ontology, respectively. This study compared the performance of the knowledge base of the ontology, using the Jena search engine with the performance of an inverted index file using the Lucene search engine. As a result, The Lucene showed higher precision rate, but Jena showed higher recall rate.

Nowadays, the study on e semantic web has been actively progressing for processing the web data semantically. For actualizing the semantic web environment, the core task is to build the ontology that defines the concepts and relations between concepts about the all things. Many ontology languages such as OWL, RDF(S), DAML+OIL were developed for building the ontology. And the many ontology tools were also implemented based on them. Although, many language and tools were researched, the practical use of the ontology tools is limited to the experts and researchers about the ontology because of the difficulty of the vocabulary, weak understanding about the ontology theory and the difficulty of the use of the ontology tools. And there are no studies on the reuse of constructed huge ontology. Therefore, in our study we design and implement the OWL ontology management tool that both the ontology experts and general users who want to build the ontologies are able to construct the ontology easily In this paper, we introduce the main modules used in our tool and features of our tool.

Mobile Augmented Reality (mobile AR), as one of the most prospective mobile applications, intends to provide richer experiences by annotating tags or virtual objects over the scene observed through camera embedded in a handheld device like smartphone or pad. In this paper, we analyzed the current status of the art of mobile AR and proposed a novel Points of Interest (POIs) data model based on ontology to provide context-aware information retrievals on lots of POIs data. Proposed ontology was expanded from the standard POIs data model of W3C POIs Working Group and established using OWL (Web Ontology Language) and Protege. We also proposed a context-aware mobile AR platform which can resolve three distinguished issues in current platforms : interoperability problem of POI tags, POIs data retrieval issue, and context-aware service issue.

A knowledge map describes the network of related knowledge into the form of a diagram, and therefore underpins the structure of knowledge categorizing and archiving by defining the relationship of the referential navigation between knowledge. The referential navigation between knowledge means the relationship of cross-referencing exhibited when a piece of knowledge is utilized by a user. To understand the contents of the knowledge, a user usually requires additionally information or knowledge related with each other in the relation of cause and effect. This relation can be expanded as the effective connection between knowledge increases, and finally forms the network of knowledge. A network display of knowledge using nodes and links to arrange and to represent the relationship between concepts can provide a more complex knowledge structure than a hierarchical display. Moreover, it can facilitate a user to infer through the links shown on the network. For this reason, building a knowledge map based on the ontology technology has been emphasized to formally as well as objectively describe the knowledge and its relationships. As the necessity to build a knowledge map based on the structure of the ontology has been emphasized, not a few researches have been proposed to fulfill the needs. However, most of those researches to apply the ontology to build the knowledge map just focused on formally expressing knowledge and its relationships with other knowledge to promote the possibility of knowledge reuse. Although many types of knowledge maps based on the structure of the ontology were proposed, no researches have tried to design and implement the referential navigation-enabled knowledge map. This paper addresses a methodology to build the ontology-based knowledge map enabling the referential navigation between knowledge. The ontology-based knowledge map resulted from the proposed methodology can not only express the referential navigation between knowledge but also infer additional relationships among knowledge based on the referential relationships. The most highlighted benefits that can be delivered by applying the ontology technology to the knowledge map include; formal expression about knowledge and its relationships with others, automatic identification of the knowledge network based on the function of self-inference on the referential relationships, and automatic expansion of the knowledge-base designed to categorize and store knowledge according to the network between knowledge. To enable the referential navigation between knowledge included in the knowledge map, and therefore to form the knowledge map in the format of a network, the ontology must describe knowledge according to the relation with the process and task. A process is composed of component tasks, while a task is activated after any required knowledge is inputted. Since the relation of cause and effect between knowledge can be inherently determined by the sequence of tasks, the referential relationship between knowledge can be circuitously implemented if the knowledge is modeled to be one of input or output of each task. To describe the knowledge with respect to related process and task, the Protege-OWL, an editor that enables users to build ontologies for the Semantic Web, is used. An OWL ontology-based knowledge map includes descriptions of classes (process, task, and knowledge), properties (relationships between process and task, task and knowledge), and their instances. Given such an ontology, the OWL formal semantics specifies how to derive its logical consequences, i.e. facts not literally present in the ontology, but entailed by the semantics. Therefore a knowledge network can be automatically formulated based on the defined relationships, and the referential navigation between knowledge is enabled. To verify the validity of the proposed concepts, two real business process-oriented knowledge maps are exemplified: the knowledge map of the process of 'Business Trip Application' and 'Purchase Management'. By applying the 'DL-Query' provided by the Protege-OWL as a plug-in module, the performance of the implemented ontology-based knowledge map has been examined. Two kinds of queries to check whether the knowledge is networked with respect to the referential relations as well as the ontology-based knowledge network can infer further facts that are not literally described were tested. The test results show that not only the referential navigation between knowledge has been correctly realized, but also the additional inference has been accurately performed.

The goal of this study is to develop knowledge representation method for the construction and evaluation of ontology for diagnosis in oriental medicine. To develop the expert system for decision making on diagnosis and treatment, the systematic and structural knowledge which can be processible in EMR(Electronic Medical Record) must be precedent, and the Computational Process which control the system as well. This study set up an ontology as a trial model to represent the oriental medical knowledge into the machine processible one. Protege 2.1 has been used to build the ontology, and the serialization format of our ontology is the XML document based on OWL. The components of oriental medical diagnosis was arranged with the combination of symptoms which belong to the certain symptom patterns. Then natural language which expresses the oriental medical diagnosis components were converted into the logical sentence, and individual characteristic symptoms into each values of specific properties. In addition to the study, the diagnosis software for oriental medicine was developed and it used the ontology which we developed. Sequently, we tested the software to confirm the appropriateness of ontology. The result of the test shows that diagnostic questions are automatically formulated according to the diagnosis components of this ontology and that as such diagnostic results are induced. Therefore, the ontology system in this study will be efficient to develop the diagnosis program and useful as a tool for doctors to make decision. But, it is not recommendable to apply the system to the clinical environment until the clear diagnosis standards are introduced, and the more reliable diagnosis program can be developed based on the more appropriate ontology mentioned above.

An ontology provides an explicit specification of concepts and relations on information extracted from database or on human knowledge. Using an ontology, The information can be reconstructed according to semantic relations. In this paper. IT-People Event Ontology is constructed using people information extracted from web portals. IT-People Event Ontology represents constant information and time-temporal information on people. A system using this ontology outputs the well-organized reconstructed information on a specific individual in interest, and then the reconstructed information is suitable for users' demand.

교수-학습과정에서 학습자가 가지고 있는 학습 장애는 학습 결과에 많은 영향을 미친다. 학습자의 학습 장애를 정확하게 진단하고 이를 고려한 수업 활동이 전개되어야 효과적인 교수-학습 활동이 이루어 질 수 있다. 학습 장애의 특성상 장애 진단과 처방과정에서는 비공개적인 접근이 요구된다. 인터넷 기반의 온라인 학습 장애 진단과 처방시스템은 이와 같은 문제를 해결할 수 있는 유용한 방안 중의 하나가 될 것이다. 하지만 기 구축되어 운영 중인 온라인 기반 학습 장애 관련 사이트들은 학습 장애를 진단해 주고 처방해 주기 보다는 학습 장애 정보를 안내해 주는 정도의 수준에 에 그치고 있다. 단순히 웹문서 형태의 정보제공 체제이거나 텍스트 기반의 지식 전달 체계로 인하여 학습자 개개인의 특성을 고려한 장애 진단에 한계점을 가지고 있다. 학습 장애에 대한 지식을 체계화함과 동시에 일정한 기준에 의해 연관성을 지어 줄 수 있는 의미 분석과 추론 등의 방법에 사용되어지는 온톨로지를 활용하게 되면 기존의 시스템이 가지는 제한점들을 극복할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 온라인 상황에서 학습자의 학습 장애를 정확하게 진단하기 위해 온톨로지를 이용하여 학습장애 진단 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 온톨로지의 구축에 사용된 도구는 protege-2000을 사용하였다. 진단시스템 개발 환경으로 학습자의 인터페이스는 Visual C++, 교사의 인터페이스는 Visual Studio.NET을 사용하였으며, DBMS는 Microsoft Office Access와 MS-SQL Server를 사용하였다. 이 연구는 OWL 온톨로지를 사용하여 보다 지능화된 학습 장애 진단시스템을 개발함으로써 실현 가능성을 제안하고 있는 것이 연구의 의의이다.
