To enhance the rule-based reasoning capability of Semantic Web, the XRML (eXtensible Rule Markup Language) approach embraces the meta-information necessary for the extraction of explicit rules from Web pages and its maintenance. To effectuate the automatic identification of rules from unstructured texts, this research develops a framework of using rule ontology. The ontology can be acquired from a similar site first, and then can be used for multiple sites in the same domain. The procedure of ontology-based rule identification is regarded as a graph search problem with incomplete nodes, and an A* algorithm is devised to solve the problem. The procedure is demonstrated with the domain of shipping rates and return policy comparison portal, which needs rule based reasoning capability to answer the customer's inquiries. An example ontology is created from Amazon.com, and is applied to the many online retailers in the same domain. The experimental result shows a high performance of this approach.

The efficient discovery of services from a large scale collection of services has become an important issue[7, 24]. We studied a syntactic method for Web service discovery, rather than a semantic method. We regarded a service discovery as a retrieval problem on the proprietary XML formats, which were service descriptions in a registry DB. We modeled services and queries as probabilistic values and devised similarity-based retrieval techniques. The benefits of our way are follows. First, our system supports ranked service retrieval by keyword search. Second, we considers both of UDDI data and WSDL definitions of services amid query evaluation time. Last, our technique can be easily implemented on the off-theshelf DBMS and also utilize good features of DBMS maintenance.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate users' intuitive stereotypes on non-touch gestures and establish the gesture dictionary that can be applied to gesture-based interaction designs. Background: Recently, the interaction based on non-touch gestures is emerging as an alternative for natural interactions between human and systems. However, in order for non-touch gestures to become a universe interaction method, the studies on what kinds of gestures are intuitive and effective should be prerequisite. Method: In this study, as applicable domains of non-touch gestures, four devices(i.e. TV, Audio, Computer, Car Navigation) and sixteen basic operations(i.e. power on/off, previous/next page, volume up/down, list up/down, zoom in/out, play, cancel, delete, search, mute, save) were drawn from both focus group interview and survey. Then, a user participatory design was performed. The participants were requested to design three gestures suitable to each operation in the devices, and they evaluated intuitiveness, memorability, convenience, and satisfaction of their derived gestures. Through the participatory design, agreement scores, frequencies and planning times of each distinguished gesture were measured. Results: The derived gestures were not different in terms of four devices. However, diverse but common gestures were derived in terms of kinds of operations. In special, manipulative gestures were suitable for all kinds of operations. On the contrary, semantic or descriptive gestures were proper to one-shot operations like power on/off, play, cancel or search. Conclusion: The touchless gesture dictionary was established by mapping intuitive and valuable gestures onto each operation. Application: The dictionary can be applied to interaction designs based on non-touch gestures. Moreover, it will be used as a basic reference for standardizing non-touch gestures.

Objective: The aim of this study is to offer a holism based Service Experience Analysis System(HSEAS) for service design. Background: Customer experience has been focused in a lot of service area. But it is difficult to understand the customer's needs and their experiences because it's so complex and uncertain. Thus it needs holistic approach that means it's difficult to explain general character merely through the understanding of small parts that composes an object and it must be analyzed within the overall context. Method: Accordingly, the thesis paper proposes the Service Experience Analysis System that satisfies the four following needs. (1) Need of solid Experience Framework in which the special quality of the service experience is considered, (2) need of support for the semantic cohesion between different kinds of data, (3) need of support for the management and search of vast data, and (4) need of building the knowledge base system for collaborative research. Results: HSEAS combines the short information in the customers' words and behaviors or situations and circumstances and provides a place of analysis where the context of the general experience can be read and allows concrete understanding of the actual state and factor of the problem as a Combined Data Analysis Tool. Conclusion: HSEAS becomes the center of information management, analysis and connection and it provides a free collaboration place where physical condition has no relations to as a knowledge base system based on network. Application: It is expected that length and width will be added to the analysis and assistance for effectively accumulating information will be provided in the area of diverse service.

Ontologies, the important implementation tools for semantic web, are widely used in various areas such as search, reasoning, and knowledge representation. Developing well-defined ontologies, however, requires a lot of resources in terms of time and materials. There have been efforts to construct ontologies automatically to overcome these problems. In this paper, ontologies are automatically constructed from the natural languages sentences directly. To do this, the analysis of morphemes and a sentence structure is performed at first. then, the program finds predicates inside the sentence and the predicates are transformed to the corresponding ontology predicates. For matching the corresponding ontology predicate from a predicate in the sentence, we develop the "predicate ontology". An experimental comparison between human ontology engineer and the program shows that the proposed system outperforms the human engineer in an accuracy.

This paper proposes a technique improving performance using word senses and user feedback in web information retrieval, compared with the retrieval based on ambiguous user query and index. Disambiguation using word senses is very important processing for improving performance by eliminating the irrelevant pages from the result. According to semantic categories of nouns which are used as index for retrieval, we build the word sense knowledge-base and categorize the web pages. It can improve the performance of retrieval system with user feedback deciding the query sense and information seeking behavior to web pages.

현재 웹 서비스에서 주로 사용하고 있는 키워드 기반 검색은 사용자의 의도와는 상관없는 정보까지 검색하는 경우가 많아서, 실제로 원하는 정보를 찾는데 많은 시간과 노력을 요구한다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서 최근 시맨틱 웹이라는 개념이 등장하였으며, 본 논문에서는 검색 결과의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 온톨로지를 기반으로 시맨틱 검색시스템을 설계하였다. 본 논문에서 설계한 온톨로지 기반의 시맨틱 검색 시스템은 기능적으로 크게 두 부분으로 구성되어 있다. 즉, 자료 수집을 하는 로봇 에이전트와 온톨로지를 기반으로 자료를 검색하는 시맨틱 검색 엔진으로 구성된다. 로봇 에이전트는 자율적으로 웹을 순회하면서 자료를 수집하고 필터링하여 메타데이터 저장소로 가져오는 역할을 한다. 시맨틱 검색 엔진은 사용자의 검색 폼으로부터 전달된 정보 검색 요구사항을 기초로 시맨틱 질의어로 변환한 후, 온톨로지 저장소를 활용하여 검색한다. 시맨틱 검색 엔진은 사용자가 입력한 검색어를 시맨틱 질의어로 변환해 주는 질의처리 모듈과 사용자의 의도를 추론하여 보다 향상된 검색을 가능하게 해주는 추론(Inference) 모듈, 온톨로지를 보관해주는 온톨로지 저장소 등으로 구성된다. 본 논문에서 설계한 온톨로지 기반의 시맨틱 검색 시스템은 키워드 기반 검색에 비해 사용자가 원하는 정보를 찾는데 소요되는 시간과 노력을 줄여 주고, 사용자의 의도에 적합한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

인터넷 쇼핑몰 분야에서 한국어 인터페이스에 대한 필요성이 대두되면서 이와 관련한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 기존 연구들의 문제점은 다른 응용 분야에 대한 확장성이 떨어지고, 대화식 질의 문장을 처리하기 위해 필요한 상황 지식을 사용할 수 없다는 것이다. 확장성을 위해 한국어 인터페이스는 내부 구현의 변경 없이 도메인 지식의 교체만으로 다른 분야에 대한 적용이 쉬워야 한다. 아울러, 한국어 질의 문장을 SQL이나 ACL과 같은 여러 응용 분야의 인공 언어에 쉽게 변환할 수 있으려면 모호성이 전혀 없는 의미 구조로 표현되어야 한다. 이렇게 표현된 의미 구조는 상황 지식의 표현과 적용을 용이하게 한다. 본 논문은을 Sowa의 개념 구조를 이용하여 의사 의미 구조를 유형 정의, 관계형 정의, 액터와 같은 도메인 지식베이스를 이용하여 표준 의미 구조로 변환하는 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문은 먼저 필요한 도메인 지식베이스의 종류와 역할 등을 설명하고, 상황 지식을 이용하여 불완전한 의미 구조를 완전한 의미 구조로 변환하는 방법을 보인다. 아울러, 같은 의미를 갖는 여러 형태의 의사 의미 구조가 하나의 표준 의미 구조로 변환됨으로서 시스템의 일관성을 유지하는데 용이함을 보일 것이다. 본 시스템에서 생성한 의미구조는 중간 언어의 역할을 하므로, 제안하는 한국어 인터페이스 시스템은 데이터베이스 분야뿐만 아니라 에이전트 분야, 시맨틱 웹 분야 등에서도 손쉽게 적용할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

Recently, researches for semantic annotation methods which represent and search objects included in video data, have been briskly activated since video starts to be popularized as types for interactive contents. Different location data occurs at each frame because coordinates of moving objects are changed with the course of time. Saving the location data for objects of every frame is too ineffective. Thus, it is needed to compress and represent effectively. This paper suggests two methods; the first, ontology modeling for moving objects to make users intuitively understandable for the information, the second, to reduce the amount of data for annotating moving objects by using cubic spline interpolation. To verify efficiency of the suggested method, we implemented the interactive video system and then compared with each video dataset based on sampling intervals. The result follows : when we got samples of coordinate less than every 15 frame, it showed that could save up to 80% amount of data storage; moreover, maximum of error deviation was under 31 pixels and the average was less than 4 pixels.

In the defense software domain where large-scale software products in various application areas need to be built, reusing software is regarded as one of the important practices to build software products efficiently and economically. There have been many efforts to apply various methods to support software reuse in the defense software domain. However, developers in the defense software domain still experience many difficulties and face obstacles in reusing software assets. In this paper, we analyze practical problems of software reuse in the defense software domain, and define core requirements to solve those problems. To meet these requirements, we are currently developing the Component Grid system, a reuse-support system that provides a developer-centric software reuse environment. We have designed an architecture of Component Grid, and defined essential elements of the architecture. We have also developed the core approaches for developing the Component Grid system: a semantic-tagging-based requirement tracing method, a reuse-knowledge representation model, a social-network-based asset search method, a web-based asset management environment, and a wiki-based collaborative and participative knowledge construction and refinement method. We expect that the Component Grid system will contribute to increase the reusability of software assets in the defense software domain by providing the environment that supports transparent and efficient sharing and reuse of software assets.
