컴퓨터의 각종 응용 시스템들이 다루는 데이타의 양과 복잡도가 높아짐에 따라 이를 효율적으로 다루기 위해 메타-데이타(meta-data)의 중요성이 날로 부각되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 DBMS의 기능은 조직체내의 데이타의 사용을 기술하고 제어하는 메타 데이타인 정보 자원(information resource)의 관리에는 그 기능이 미치지 못하고 있다. 최근들어, 이런 정보 자원들을 효율적으로 다루기 위해 차세대 정보 관리 시스템으로서 정보 자원 사전 시스템(Information Resource Dictionary System)이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 현재 표준화중인 정보 자원 사전 시스템을 분석하고, IRDS 서비스 인터페이스를 관계 DBMS를 기반으로 설계하고 구현하였으며, 이를 응용하여 그 효용성을 실험하였다.

In this paper, we present POSSDM (POSTECH Situation-Based Dialogue Manager) for a spoken dialogue system using a new example and situation-based dialogue management techniques for effective generation of appropriate system responses. Spoken dialogue system should generate cooperative responses to smoothly control dialogue flow with the users. We introduce a new dialogue management technique incorporating dialogue examples and situation-based rules for EPG (Electronic Program Guide) domain. For the system response inference, we automatically construct and index a dialogue example database from dialogue corpus, and the best dialogue example is retrieved for a proper system response with the query from a dialogue situation including a current user utterance, dialogue act, and discourse history. When dialogue corpus is not enough to cover the domain, we also apply manually constructed situation-based rules mainly for meta-level dialogue management.

본 논문에서는 기존에 개발된 데이터베이스내의 데이터 소스를 공유하기 위해 통합 라이브러리를 구축하고 이를 통해 데이터베이스내의 소스 데이터에 대한 의미적인 통합을 위한 구조를 제안한다. 데이터의 의미적인 통합을 위해 데이터 스키마가 가지고 있는 실질적인 의미값을 기존의 각 데이터베이스 시스템에서 참조하고 데이터 공유에 대한 동의를 갖도록 메타 데이터를 이용하였다. 따라서 먼저 통합 라이브러리를 구축하여 메타 데이터에 대한 정보와 메타 데이터간에 존재하는 함수적인 관계를 변경 함수로 함께 구현하였으며. 데이터 통합을 위한 참고 자료는 각 시스템마다 온톨로지(Ontology)를 작성하여 활용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 메타데이터의 수정과 주가가 간단하며 새로운 시스템을 통합 라이브러리로 합병하는 비용이 현저히 감소되었다.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to review and analyze the status on the obstetric and gynecologic RCTs with acupuncture. Methods: Searching were performed in $7{\sim}14$ July, 2008. Search term used was "acupuncture" only. And we classified all the searched articles as diseases and related health problems. Then we also classified OBGY diseases and analyzed the trends of those parts. Results: We could search 666 articles, RCTs with acupuncture. Of them, we found 88 OBGY articles about nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, labor and postpartum. OBGY surgery, hot flashes and climacteric, ART, Disease with Pregnancy women and menstruation, fetal breech presentation, and breast disease etc. Conclusion: To improve traditional Korean OBGY research, it is needed activation of RCT research, study of meta analysis, development of clinical practice guidelines, variation of research subject, and co-works with conventional medicine.

In previous research, we suggested a business process structured query language(BPSQL) for information extraction and retrieval in the business process framework, and used an existing query language with the tablization for each layer within the framework, but still had a problem to manually build with the specification of each layer information of BFP. To solve this problem, we suggest automatically to build the schema based business process model with model-to-text conversion technique. This procedure consists of 1) defining each meta-model of the entire structure and of database schema, and 2) also defining model transformation rules for it. With this procedure, we can automatically transform from defining through meta-modeling of an integrated information system designed to the schema based model information table specification defined of the entire layer each layer specification with model-to-text conversion techniques. It is possible to develop the efficiently integrated information system.

Objective: A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplemental fat containing saturated free fatty acids (FA) on milk performance of Holstein dairy cows. Methods: A database was developed from 21 studies published between 1991 and 2016 that included 502 dairy cows and a total of 29 to 30 comparisons between dietary treatment and control without fat supplementation. Only saturated free FA (>80% of total FA) was considered as the supplemental fat. Concentration of the supplemental fat was not higher than 3.5% of diet dry matter (DM). Dairy cows were offered total mixed ration, and fed individually. Statistical analysis was conducted using random- or mixed-effects models with Metafor package in R. Results: Sub-group analysis showed that there were no differences in studies between randomized block design and Latin square/crossover design for dry matter intake (DMI) and milk production responses to the supplemental fat (all response variables, $p{\geq}0.344$). The supplemental fat across all studies improved milk yield, milk fat concentration and yield, and milk protein yield by 1.684 kg/d (p<0.001), 0.095 percent unit (p = 0.003), 0.072 kg/d (p<0.001), and 0.036 kg/d (p<0.001), respectively, but tended to decrease milk protein concentration (mean difference = -0.022 percent unit; p = 0.063) while DMI (mean difference = 0.061 kg/d; p = 0.768) remained unchanged. The assessment of heterogeneity suggested that no substantial heterogeneity occurred among all studies for DMI and milk production responses to the supplemental fat (all response variables, $I^2{\leq}24.1%$; $p{\geq}0.166$). Conclusion: The effects of saturated free FA were quantitatively evaluated. Higher milk production and yields of milk fat and protein, with DMI remaining unchanged, indicated that saturated free FA, supplemented at ${\leq}3.5%$ dietary DM from commercially available fat sources, likely improved the efficiency of milk production. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to assess the variation of production responses to different saturated free FA, either C16:0 or C18:0 alone, or in combination with potentially optimal ratio, when supplemented in dairy cow diets.

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.

Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to overview and evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture treatment for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: Relevant randomized controlled studies (RCTs) were identified by database searches in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL, up to Dec 2013, and by additional hand searches. Data were extracted regarding anovulation, hyperandrogenism, obesity indices. Meta-analyses were separatedly conducted for the symptoms of PCOS. The risk of bias was assessed. Results: Three studies which were included for analysis, but they showed severly heterogeneity therefore meta-analysis could not be performed. Outcomes for evaluating the efficacy of acupuncture treatment for PCOS were anovulation index (menstrual frequency), hyperandrogenism index (free testosterone) and obesity index (body-mass index). For menstrual frequency, acupuncture treatment consistently suggested an interventional benefit. Although other outcomes did not suggest any enough relevant evidence to interventional benefit for acupuncture treatment. Conclusions: Acupuncture treatment appeared to improve menstrual frequency in PCOS patients. Since a limited number of RCTs were available in the current literature and those studies were also clinically heterogeneous, further research is needed to gather evidence to support acupuncture therapy in PCOS.

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that metformin possesses anticarcinogenic properties, and its use is associated with favorable outcomes in several cancers. However, it remains unclear whether metformin influences prognosis in prostate cancer (PCa) with concurrent type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from database inception to April 16, 2014 without language restrictions to identify studies investigating the effect of metformin treatment on outcomes of PCa with concurrent T2D. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantify the risk of recurrence, progression, cancer-specific mortality, and all-cause mortality. Summary relative risks (RRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Publication bias was assessed by Begg's rank correlation test. Results: A total of eight studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria. We found that diabetic PCa patients who did not use metformin were at increased risk of cancer recurrence (RR, 1.20; 95%CI, 1.00-1.44), compared with those who used metformin. A similar trend was observed for other outcomes, but their relationships did not reach statistical significance. Funnel plot asymmetry was not observed among studies reporting recurrence (p=0.086). Conclusions: Our results suggest that metformin may improve outcomes in PCa patients with concurrent T2D. Well-designed large studies and collaborative basic research are warranted.
