This paper proposes a search system using the topic maps that it extends XMDR into Knowledge based XMDR for solving of the problems of the heterogeneity of distributed data on a network and integrate data by an efficient way. The proposed system combined Topic Maps and the extended metadata registry effectively. The Topic Maps represent related knowledge and reasoning relationship by associations of topic. And the extended metadata registry standards and manages the metadata of the local systems through registration and certification on the distributed environment. We also proposed a meta layer, include the meta topic and meta association to achieve semantic classification grouping of topics and to define relationship between Topic Maps and extended metadata registry.

Until now, most semantic web service discovery research has been carried out using either Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) or a profile of OWL-based Web Service ontology (OWL-S). However, such efforts have focused primarily on service name and input/output ontology. Thus, the internal information of a service has not been utilized, and queries regarding internal information such as 'Find book-selling services allowing payment after delivery' are not addressed. This study outlines the development of TM-S (Topic Maps for Service) ontology and TMS-QL (TM-S Query Language), two novel technologies that address the aforementioned issues in semantic web service discovery research. TM-S ontology describes the behavior of services using process information and consists of three sub-ontologies: process signature ontology, process structure ontology and process concept ontology. TMS-QL allows users to describe service discovery requests.

This study is intended for implementing the system environment that can help integrate and retrieve various types of data in real-time by providing semantic interoperability among distributed heterogeneous information systems. The semantic interoperability is made possible by providing a TMDR(Topicmaps Metadata Registry), a set of ontologies. TMDR, which has been made by combining MDR(MetaData Registry) and TopicMaps and storing them in the database, is able to generate distributed query and provide efficient knowledge. MDR is a metadata management technique for distributed data management. TopicMaps is an ontology representation technique that takes into consideration the hierarchy and association for accessing knowledge data. We have created TMDR, a kind of ontology, that is fit for any system and able to detect and resolve semantic conflicts on the level of data and schema. With this system we propose a query-processing technique to integrate and access heterogeneous information sources. Unlike existing retrieval methods this makes possible efficient retrieval and reasoning by providing association focusing on subjects.

Users in 3D virtual environment get limited information which contains mostly images. It is the main reason for users getting lost during their Navigation. Various studies of Navigation-Aid have been done in order to solve this problem. In this study, we applied Topic Maps, which is one of semantic Web techniques, to the navigation in a 3D virtual environment. Topic Maps construct semantic linking maps through defining the relations between topics. Experiments in which Topic Map based Navigation-Aid was applied have shown that the Navigation-Aid was effective when the subjects find a detailed target rather than a highly represented one. Also, offering information around the target helped the users to find the target when they navigated without having specific targets.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for estimating a vehicle's current position, even on roads that have similar patterns. In the proposed method, we classified the semantic information of the nodes in detail and added the semantic information of the link to solve the problem due to similar and repeated patterns. We also improved the mapping method by comparing the result of the duplicated matching with that of the only matching obtained just before corresponding duplicated matching. From the simulation results, we verify that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the existing method.

Traditional keyword-based searching methods suffer from low accuracy and high complexity due to the rapid growth in the amount of information. Accordingly, many researchers attempt to implement a so-called semantic search which is based on the semantics of the user's query. Semantic information can be described using a semantic modeling language, such as Topic Map. In this paper, we propose a new method to map a topic map to a traditional Relational Database (RDB) without any information loss. Although there have been a few attempts to map topic maps to RDB, they have paid scant attention to handling multi-role topics. In this paper, we propose a new storage structure to map multi-role topics to traditional RDB. The proposed structure consists of a mapping table, role tables, and content tables. Additionally, we devise a query translator to convert a user's query to one appropriate to the proposed structure.

This paper describes hierarchical semantic map building using the classified area information in home environments. The hierarchical semantic map consists of a grid, CAIG (Classified Area Information in Grid), and topological map. The grid and CAIG maps are used for navigation and motion selection, respectively. The topological map provides the intuitive information on the environment, which can be used for the communication between robots and users. The proposed semantic map building algorithm can greatly improve the capabilities of a mobile robot in various domains, including localization, path-planning and HRI (Human-Robot Interaction). In the home environment, a door can be used to divide an area into various sections, such as a room, a kitchen, and so on. Therefore, we used not only the grid map of the home environment, but also the door information as a main clue to classify the area and to build the hierarchical semantic map. The proposed method was verified through various experiments and it was found that the algorithm guarantees autonomous map building in the home environment.

Because the current web search engine estimates the similarity of documents, using the frequency of words, many documents irrespective of the user query are provided. To solve these kinds of problems, the semantic web is appearing as a future web. It is possible to provide the service based on the semantic web through ontology which specifies the knowledge in a special domain and defines the concepts of knowledge and the relationships between concepts. In this paper to search the information of potential customers for home-delivery marketing, we model the specific domain for generating the ontology. And we research how to retrieve the information, using the ontology. Therefore, in this paper, we generate the ontology to define the domain about potential customers and develop the search robot which collects the information of customers.

In this paper, we propose a topic maps matching and merging approach based on the syntactic or semantic characteristics and constraints of the topic maps. Previous schema matching approaches have been developed to enhance effectiveness and generality of matching techniques. However they are inefficient because the approaches should transform input ontologies into graphs and take into account all the nodes and edges of the graphs, which ended up requiring a great amount of processing time. Now, standard languages for developing ontologies are RDF/OWL and Topic Maps. In this paper, we propose an enhanced version of matching and merging technique based on topic partitioning, several matching operations and merging conflict detection.

효율적이고 체계적인 정보관리를 위해 최근 연구들은 시멘틱웹(semantic web), 지식관리, 메타데이터의 통합 등에 많은 관심을 두고 있다. 그러한 연구들은 자원(resources)의 기술을 어떻게 표현할 것인가에 대한 기술구조와 그 구조를 표현하기 위한 기계 언어 등을 다루고 있다. 특히 자원의 기술을 어떻게 표현할 것인가에 대한 기술적인 구조로 가장 널리 사용되는 것은 RDF와 토픽맵(Topic Maps)을 들 수 있다. 정보조직이나 시멘틱웹 등의 연구에서 자주 등장하는 위의 개념들을 정확하게 이해하고 무엇보다 그 개념들 간의 관계를 알아보는 것이 중요할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 RDF와 토픽맵에서, 정보 즉 표현하고자 하는 대상을 표현하는 방법을 살펴보고, 두 기법간의 상호운용성에 대한 선행연구로 RDF와 토픽맵의 유사점과 차이점을 비교하고자 한다.
