UCI(Universal Content Identifier), a digital content identifier is a identification system based on URN(Uniform Resource Name) for the transparent distribution, efficient search and management of digital contents. Digital contents given a UCI number need metadata for serving a exact contents that users need. However, the only metadata provided by UCI are deficient to represent various information of digital contents, and ontologies which could standardize and define explicitly semantic relations between metadata (provided by UCI) are needed for better representation of information and efficient search and management of digital contents. In this paper, we extended concept-relation between metadata with ontology and designed domain ontology enabling semantic-based search by expanding UCI meta data, and showed the more efficient search and management over the metadata by UCI through various queries.

I designed the game UCI identification metadata to enable the game industry to provide copyright protection of game content, the efficiency of the management and distribution. This was mapped with existing UCI metadata which is composed of 9 elements that are applied to international standards for interoperability. I redefined 3 elements and added 3 more elements for reflecting the characteristics of the game. So it is composed of 12 elements in total. The result is verified by the general user survey and expert interviews. And I will develope the game UCI identification metadata management system with the results of study to be utilized by game agencies.

The proposed new UCI syntax is compatible with the existing identifier and defines fixed length in such cases as printable ID, bar code and QR code which may entail better usage of identifier itself. For the compatibility, the identifiable metadata "key" is used for the existing UCI identifier and "UCI" element of metadata is defined for the new UCI identifier. The new UCI identifier plays roles of the resolution service and representation, and the old UCI identifier plays a role of internal DB management. Also, the object code has two types, meaningless and meaningful. The meaningful object code type can be used according the content classification standards in various field as comics, games, advertisement etc. The standardization activities can be supported by the root agency of UCI.

In this paper, we propose a scheme to associate content-based video signature with Universal Content Identifier (UCI) system of broadcast content for copyright identification and management. Note that content-based video signature can identify a previously distributed content since it is directly extracted from content itself without allocation process of identifier such as UCI. Thus, we design the schema of UCI application metadata, which provides a video signature in order to consistently maintain a systemic link between UCI and the video signature. Also, we present the scenarios of copyright identification, management and additional service, which are based on transmission and management mechanism of video signature with UCI identification system.

Contents Recommender System predicts user's preferences towards contents, and then recommends highly-predicted contents to user. Digital Identifier plays its part in identifying abstract works or digital contents in digital network environment. Digital Identifier could be effectively used in content-based filtering and collaborative filtering that are mainly used in Contents Recommender Systems. Therefore, this paper proposes an improvement of UCI metadata and resolution service for effective use of UCI in massive contents recommender systems. UCI metadata is expanded by adding elements such as abstract, keyword, genre, age, rate and review. Resolution service allows the operation systems to collect user preference for content by including input part of preference in a result page. This paper also designs and implements an improved UCI operation system and shows that the proposed improvement of UCI metadata and resolution service could be used for massive contents recommendation.

Korean Government has invested a lot of efforts on digital contents industry. It believes that the digital contents industry enables Korea to regain the reputation of the most powerful IT country. Among its various efforts to promote the digital contents industry, a Digital Contents Identifier System, called UCI(Universal Contents Identifier), has been developed and deployed. UCI has provided a critical infrastructure for digital contents production and distribution. Thanks to Korean Government's efforts, users (companies and individuals) have currently registered 3.8 million digital contents through 25 RA organizations. Although the number of registered contents has been increased rapidly, many organizations hesitate to adopt the UCI system due to the lack of visible and short-term returns from the UCI system. Thus, this research tries to explore factors which affect UCI user satisfaction. This research finds that user's awareness, information quality, and service quality are the critical influencing factors toward UCI user satisfaction. In addition, this research finds that the critical influencing factors in public organizations are different from the critical influencing factors in private organizations. These findings hopefully provide useful guidelines for disseminating the UCI system widely.

웹 2.0이 등장하면서, 인터넷은 데이터에 대찬 효과적 표현을 위할 시맨틱웹 정보화 사용자 중심의 정보 표현에 대한 패러다임이 등장하면서, 유투브, 세컨드라이프 등의 서비스 모델이 등장하기 시작하였다. UCI는 인터넷에서 디지털 콘텐츠에 대한 식별 체계 기능을 하며, 다양한 콘텐츠 유통 모델을 지원하는 체계로 2003년부터 본격적인 서비스를 시작하였다. UCI는 URN을 기반으로 서비스 체계를 완성하여 2007년 현재 15개 RA와 15백만개 이상의 콘텐츠에 대한 서비스를 제공하는 커다란 데이터 운명을 지원하고 있다. 웹 2.0의 다양한 메쉬업 서비스를 지원하기 위하여 UCI는 2가지 측면의 기술적 보완이 이루어졌는데, 하나는 UCL의 등장이며, 또 다른 하나는 콘텐츠 추적에 대한 BM을 제공하는 것이다. UCL은 UCC와 같이 사용자 중심의 인터넷 서비스를 쉽게 제공하기 위한 UCI 콘텐츠 인덱싱 정보를 콘텐츠 저작 도구를 통하며 제공함으로써, 쉽고 생산적인 콘텐츠 생성을 지원하는 것이다. 콘텐츠 추적은 콘텐츠를 분야별 엔티티를 통한 서비스 체계를 지원하는 BM의 특성들 가진 것으로, 콘텐츠 레파지토리의 프레임에 UCI를 제공하여 콘텐츠에 대한 일관된 관리 및 추적을 제공하는 것이다. UCI는 지속적으로 새로운 패러다임에 맞는 BM을 제공할 수 있는 기술들 개발하고 있으며, 콘텐츠 유통 체계의 인프라 서비스를 제공하고 있다.

Although UCI Identification metadata is not represented in the UCI syntax, it means a set of elements that enable users to easily and quickly identify. Against this backdrop, we research on how to design identification metadata for UCI. First of all, we check ISO/IEC 11179 and compare this with UCI properties. And then we defines nine components (such as UCI, Identifier, Title, Type, Mode, Format, Contributor, ContributorEntitiy, and ContributorRole) as elements of the identification metadata and establish encoding scheme with several parts (such as List of Encoding Scheme, Encoding Scheme of Identifier, Encoding Scheme of Type, Encoding Scheme of Mode, Encoding Scheme of Format, and Encoding Scheme of ContributorRole).

As UCI (Universal Content Identifier) identification system becomes a national standard for content distribution, many digital contents are distributed through UCI identification system. However, problems associated with copyright infringement and copyright contracts occur due to lack of copyright information. ICN (Integrated Copyright Number), a code system developed for copyright management, includes copyright-related information for the purposes of usage settlement and accounting, illegal usage monitoring, and content filtering. ICN, however, has no information about distribution and content properties. Therefore, the linkage and integration between UCI and ICN can be a basis for the transparent and effective distribution of digital contents. In this paper, we propose a model for linking and integrating UCI and ICN, developing the efficiency in the value chain of each identified system by analyzing political factors and key technical elements between the two identification systems.

UCI (Universal Content Identifier) as a national digital content identification system for identifying digital content and ICN (Integrated Copyright Number) for copyright management are operated by Korea copyright commission. However, They are not interoperable with international standard identification system such as ISRC (International Standard Recording Code), ISWC (International Standard Works Code), and ISAN (International Standard Audiovisual Number) due to lack of linkage system. Hence, extra works with international standard identification system are needed for international market entry and integrated management of statistical information including content settlement in international market is impossible. In this paper, the domestic/international identification systems are surveyed, and by metadata analysis of identification systems, linkage method with UCI/ICN is proposed. And also by developing the prototype model, research direction to UCI/ICN with international standard identification system is proposed.
