A Unique Feature Identifier(UFID) is a way of referring to a feature, generally representing a tangible feature in the real world. In other words, a UFID uniquely identifies the related feature in the database and is normally used to link two or more databases together. This paper presents a UFID system aiming at the internal uses for National Geography Institute(NGI) as well as external uses for National Geographic Information System(NGIS) generally to link datasets together. The advantage of the proposed type of UFID lies in the meaningful nature of the identifier in providing a direct spatial index - administrative area and feature code. The checksum character proposed in this research is designed to remove any uncertainty about the number being corrupt. It will account lot digit transposition during manual input as well as corruption in transfer or processing.

As the results of the information project, manufacturing of the digital map and various thematic maps of the national land has been completed. Furthermore, it is necessary to organize a systemized management system, which can control and utilize all artificial features (e.g. buildings, roads, bridges etc.) as well as natural geographic features (e.g. rivers etc). Howener, it has difficulties in managing NGIS as a unified system, because of the discordance of DB of each geographic management organizations. Therefore, this study has been conducted to apply to the system and method providing geographic UFID that can be a key in order to managing, searching and utilizing geographic and artificial features and that makes it be able to estimate the location with the only identifier. Moreover, the system and method, providing geographic UFID, applies to systemized management of NGIS DB as well as consistency of information.

In this paper, the design of URL structures and managements for UFID(Unique feature Identification) based wireless communications is presented with the combination of GIS and URL address informations. As a result of IPv6 based UFID wireless communications, new methods for URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) informations and UFID communication systems are proposed with a 6byte coded 128-bit IPv6 DNS system for the presentation of 1,500,000 korean buildings.

지형지물 유일식별자(UFID: Unique Feature Identifier)는 주민등록번호처럼 우리나라의 국토를 구성하고 있는 도로, 건물 및 하천 등의 모든 인공적 및 자연적 지형지물에 단일식별자를 부여함으로써 해당 지형지물을 관리하는 기관은 물론, 물류, 금융 등 각종 산업 분야에 매우 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 국가기본지리정보에 지형지물 유일식별자를 생성 및 소멸, 검수 그리고 부여하는 방법을 제시하였다. 그리고, 국가기본지리정보를 위한 지형지물 유일식별자 관리시스템을 설계하고 구현하였으며, 서로 다른 두 데이터베이스간에 이루어지는 지형지물의 삽입, 삭제 그리고 갱신 등을 지형지물 유일식 별자를 통하여 연계하는 방안을 설계하여 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템은 통신, 가스, 전략 등의 기관에 확대하여 적용이 가능할 것이다.

The existing facility management system is capable of managing two-dimensional and three-dimensional models that were driven from maps and registered documents. However, it is not capable to collect various fields data on a real time and operate the integrated systems. To supplement those obstacles, constructing a facility management system based on ubiquitous environment is needed. Therefore, this research has proposed the modified UFID(Unique Feature IDentifier), which is more suitable for the facility management by modifying management agency and serial codes system in the existing UFID. In addition, we established the procedures for ubiquitous environment based on facility management using proposed UFID. The feasibility of this research was assessed through case study focused on roadside trees. It is considered that the results can be applied to many other ubiquitous environments based on facility management.

The 1st phase framework data implementation of National Geographic Information Systems (NGIS) used 1:5,000 digital map with 5 years updating period which is lacking in the latest information. This is a significant factor which hinders the use of framework data. This study proposed the efficient technical method of a location based object data management and system implementation for updating framework data. First, we did an object-oriented data modeling and database design using a location based features identifier(UFID: Unique Feature IDentifier). The second, we developed the system with various functions such as a location based UFID creation, input and output, a spatial and attribute data editing, an object based data processing using UML(Unified Modeling Language). Finally, we applied the system to the study area and got high quality data of 99% accuracy and 35% benefit effect of personnel expenses compare to the previous method. We expect that this study can contribute to the maintenance of national framework data as well as the revitalization of various GIS markets by providing user the latest framework data and that we can develop the methods of a feature-change modeling and monitoring using an object based data management.

During the first and second NGIS projects by the Korean government, The first one (1995~2000) was limited on constructing geographic information and the second (2001~2005) was focused on circulation and practical use of geoinformation from the result of the first project. In the latter half of 2nd NGIS project, However, the geographic information from the NGIS projects have not been renewed even though there were significant geographical changes. The accurate renewal of geoinformation is a matter of great importance to the next generation industry (e.g. LBS, Ubiquitous, Telematics). In this respect, it is time to update the geographic information in the latter half of the second NGIS project. Therefore, It is not only important to build an accurate geoinformation but also rapid and correct renewal of the geoinformation. NGII (National Geographic Information Institute) has been studying for improvement of digital map that was constructed by the result of the 1st NGIS project. Through the construction of clean digital map, NGII constructed Framework Data to three kinds of formats (NGI, NDA, NRL). Framework Data was contained to other database, and provided the reference system of location or contents for combining geoinformation. Framework Data is consist of Data Set, Data Model and UFID (Unique Feature Identifier). It will be achieved as national infrastructure data. This paper attempts to explore a method of the update to practical framework data with realtime geoinformation on feature's creation, modification and destruction managed by 'Feature management agency' using UFID's process. Furthermore, it suggests a method which can provide important data in order to plan the Framework update with the land change ratio.

A study about UFID for the management and administration of digital map has achieved much progress through the Korea National Geographic Information Institute. But it is ture that the content and process is too complicated to be applied. For overcoming this and to make harmonious management of the object based seamless digital map, we need to develop the method which has the unique feature identifier on the digital map for management and administration. So, we introduce OSID(Object-based Seamless digital map IDentifier) on the object based seamless digital map and apply OSID in the system to manage the digital map. This study is based on the OSID basic structure which is applied in object based seamless digital map and design the structure of OSID system to maintain and manage each feature of the object based seamless digital map.

정보화 사업의 결과로 전 국토에 대한 수치지도 및 여러 가지 주제도 제작이 완료되었다. 건물, 도로 및 교량 등과 같은 인공적 지형지물과 하천과 같은 자연적 지형지물을 포괄하는 모든 지형지물을 체계적으로 관리하고 활용하기 위한 체계화된 관리체계가 필요하나, 지형지물의 관리기관별 DB가 불일치하여 국가적 지리정보체계의 통합관리자 어려운 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 지형지물의 관리, 검색, 활용에 공통키로 사용될 수 있고, 또한 식별자만으로 위치 판단이 가능하고, 정보의 일관성 및 NGIS DB의 체계적 관리를 할 수 있는 지형지물 유일식별자(UFID)를 부여하는 체계와 방법을 제시하였다.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), also known as Bluetooth Smart, has ultra-low power consumption; in fact, BLE-enabled devices can run on a single coin cell battery for several years. In addition, BLE can estimate the approximate distance between two devices using the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) feature, enabling relatively precise navigation in indoor and small outdoor areas where GPS is not an option. In this paper, an experimental setup is presented in which BLE is used for navigation within a small outdoor area. BLE-based beacons are installed in fixed positions, which periodically transmit a universally unique identifier (UUID). A smart device receives the UUID and sends it to a database server using cellular or Wi-Fi technology. The server returns fixed position information corresponding to the received UUID codes, and the smart device uses that information to compute its current position based on relative signal strengths, and display it on a map. These results demonstrate the successful application of BLE technology for navigation in small outdoor areas. This system can be implemented for indoor navigation as well.
