This study uncovered ambiguity and inconsistency of the semantic relationships of the existing thesaurus by analyzing the concept relationships of AGROVOC and proposed the concept relationships of ontology in partially overcoming these limitations. By the results of analyzing the concept relationships, the study proposed conceptual model as most important part of conecept relationships of ontology and semantically developed concept relationship types. These relationships partially can perform inferences and must be useful for information knowledge system based on more exact semantic relationships. Also the study found out new relationship types and they will be useful for extension of the concept relationships of existing thesaurus. And these relationship types showed that they were useful for the existing thesaurus as Legal Thesaurus.

With the development of semantic web technologies in information retrieval area, the necessity for thesaurus is recently increasing along with internet lexicons. A thesaurus is the combination of classification and a lexicon, and is the topic map of knowledge structure expressing relations among concepts(terms) subject to human knowledge activities such as learning and research using formally organized and controlled index terms for clarifying the context of superordinate and subordinate concepts. However, although thesaurus are regarded as essential tools for controlling and standardizing terms and searching and processing information efficiently, we do not have a Korean thesaurus for geology. To build a thesaurus, we need standardized and well-defined guidelines. The standardized guidelines enable efficient information management and help information users use correct information easily and conveniently. The present study purposed to build a thesaurus system with terms used in geology. For this, First, we surveyed related works for standardizing geological terms in Korea and other countries. Second, we defined geological topics in 15 areas and prepared a classification system(draft) for each topic. Third, based on the geological thesaurus classification system, we created the specification of geological thesaurus. Lastly, we designed and implemented an internet-based geological thesaurus system using the specification.

In this paper, we proposed one of the methods for building thesaurus in Science & Technology domain and investigated its applicability as an inference service based on ontology. There exist as many building methods for thesaurus as its role and function, and actually many thesauri capable of ensuring the accuracy and efficiency in information search are being built by many experts. After examining the previous studies related to the principles of building thesaurus and relevant concept "facet", we focused on its characteristics and applied it to building thesaurus. The facet is classified into 2 categories, conceptual facet and relational facet. The latter contains 3 subcategories: category relational facet, attribute relational facet and thematic relational facet. The thesaurus for Science & Technology domain using facets can be applied as a web-based inference service. As a result, the three types of inference service, COP(Communities of Practice), Researcher Tracing and Research Map are provided by means of ontology, and can be applied for the Query Expansion.

So far, DW(data warehouse) of hospital has been used as tool for analyzing patient-focused data. However, EMR(Electronic Medical Record) is established these days, so informal data which is record and video record could be useful to get some information for patient remedy, not as DW data. This study claims that need of establishing treatment-focused DW, not for hospital administration-focused DW which has been used lots of hospital DW. Also we discussed how CDW can be applied for real medication situation. At last, we deduct a relation past record of sick and wounded patient as Thesaurus searching method by real hospital data for establishing base of early-treatment system.

In order to index documents, a thesaurus which consists of terms and relationships between terms is used. When an index term is selected, retrieval performance in the information retrieval system could be improved by using the relationship between the terms in the thesaurus. Recently, the usage of a thesaurus are extended from information retrieval to language and knowledge engineering, but term relationships in a thesaurus are simply represented in equivalence, hierarchy, and association. Particularly the associative relationship is vague in its definition and range as compared with the other relationships, i.e. equivalence, hierarchy, therefore the terms that are selected through associative relationship aren't well controlled. This study examines the relationships of existing thesauri, especially the types and ranges of associative relationship, and suggests the adequate type of associative relationship.

Document retrieval (DR) has been a serious issue for long in the field of Office Information Management. Nowadays, our daily work is becoming heavily dependent on the usage of information collected from the internet, and the DR methods on the Web has become an important issue which is studied more than any other topic by many researchers. The main purpose of this study is to develop a model to manage business documents by integrating three major methodologies used in the field of electronic library and information retrieval: Metadata, Thesaurus, and Index/Reversed Index. In addition, we have added a new concept of eDocument, which consists of metadata about unit documents and/or unit document themselves. eDocument is introduced as a way to utilize existing document sources. The core concepts and structures of the model were introduced, and the architecture of the eDocument management system has been proposed. Test (simulation) result of the model and the direction for the future studies were also mentioned.

The purpose of the study was to construct a system based on the semantic web environment's ontology by utilizing the ontology schema derived from the facet-type Art and Architecture Thesaurus(AAT). The aforementioned ontology schema is based on the Web Ontology Language(OWL), which is being widely considered the standard ontology language for the W3C-centered semantic web environment. Also, the concepts were limited to terms within AAT'S Furniture Facet, and the system was tested using the Chair concept, which is a lower-level facet that has a diverse conceptual relationship and broad vocabulary base. The ontology system is capable of searching for concepts, while controlling the search results by always providing a 'Preferred term' for synonymous terms. In addition, the system provides the user with first, a relationship between the terms centered around the inquiry, and second, related terms along with their classification properties. Also, the system is presented as and application example of the ontology system that constructs a information system that intakes an Instance value and reproduces it into a RDF file. During this process, utilization of multiple ontologies was introduced, and the stored Instance value's meta-data elements were used.

In information storage and retrieval system, controlled vocabularies are generally used to improve the recall ratio and to guide for indexers/users to select correct indexing/searching terms by regulating their forms as well as meanings. Thesaurs, a type of controlled vocabulary, nowdays accept ed by most of database producers. The objective of this study is to develope a method of Korean Language Thesaurus construction. This study covers 1) the definition of thesaurus, 2) a literatural survey on term relations and thesaurus construction method, 3) a suggestion for a practical construction method, 4) the display format of thesuari, and 5) tests and the results.
