This study proposes a Natural Language Query Framework (NLQF) for the semantic web. It supports an intelligent inference at a semantic level. Most of previous researches focused on the knowledge representation on the semantic web. However, to revitalize the intelligent e-business on the semantic web, there is a need for semantic level inference to the web information. To satisfy the need, we will review the knowledge/resource representation on the semantic web such as RDF, Ontology and Conceptual Graph (CG), and then discuss about the natural language (NL) inference. The result of this research could support a natural interface for the semantic web. Furthermore, we expect that the NLQF can be used in the semantic web-based business communications.

급변하는 전자상거래 환경을 극복하고 이질적이고 분산되어 있는 정보들을 통합할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 자기기술적 규약이나 소프트웨어 설계방법들이 필요하며, 그 중 온톨로지(Ontology)에 대한 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자상거래 통합을 위한 프레임워크를 제시하기 위해 모델링의 기반이 되는 구문론적ㆍ의미론적 통합 및 에이전트의 운용방법론에 대해 논하며, 메타 모델링에 바탕을 두는 온톨로지의 구축에 중점을 두고 설명한다. DAML(DARPA Agent Markup Language)을 사용하여 온톨로지를 구체화하며, 프로세스 표현을 위해 PSL(Process Specification Language)-ontology의 용어들을 중간 계층으로 구성하여 차용한다. 제시한 프레임워크를 통해 정보 자원들과 비즈니스 프로세스를 정의하고 공유하며 관리함으로써 중복성과 불일치성을 제거할 수 있을 것이다.

YKanto (Ontology Construction System of Yeungnam University & KAIST)[1,2]는 웹 기반 온톨로지 구축 시스템으로써 다수의 온톨로지 구축자가 신문, 사전, 코퍼스 등의 지식 자원으로부터 대용량의 온톨로지를 구축하고 관리할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 YKanto에서 개발 중인 온톨로지를 2차원 그래프로 시각화 할 수 있는 온톨로지 시각화 도구(Visualization Tool for Ontology)를 설계하고 개발한다. 개발한 온톨로지 시각화 도구는 기존의 개념 및 관계 중심의 시각화 도구와 달리 사건 기반의 온톨로지(event-based ontology)의 가독성을 높이기 위한 사건(event) 중심의 시각화 도구이다. 또한, Java Applet으로 구현하며, YKanto과 연동시킴으로써 개발 중인 온톨로지를 웹 상에서 실시간으로 확인할 수 있도록 한다.

본 논문에서는 시간 개념이 포함된 역사적 지식을 표현할 수 있는 사건 온톨로지(event ontology) 기반의 역사 온톨로지 모형인 Y-HisOnto 를 제안한다. 제안한 역사 온톨로지 모형은 기존의 온톨로지에서 사용되는 이진 관계(binary-relationship)로 표현된 단편적 지식들을 조합하여 다진 관계(n-ary relationship)를 이용하여 역사적 사건 관련 지식을 표현한다. 제안한 온톨로지 모형에 기반하여 사건 중심의 지식을 온톨로지로 구축하고, 사건 관련 질의에 대해 온톨로지 논리 검색 실험을 수행함으로써 제안한 온톨로지 모형이 Q&A 시스템에서 효과적으로 활용될 수 있음을 확인한다.

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.

Until now, most semantic web service discovery research has been carried out using either Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) or a profile of OWL-based Web Service ontology (OWL-S). However, such efforts have focused primarily on service name and input/output ontology. Thus, the internal information of a service has not been utilized, and queries regarding internal information such as 'Find book-selling services allowing payment after delivery' are not addressed. This study outlines the development of TM-S (Topic Maps for Service) ontology and TMS-QL (TM-S Query Language), two novel technologies that address the aforementioned issues in semantic web service discovery research. TM-S ontology describes the behavior of services using process information and consists of three sub-ontologies: process signature ontology, process structure ontology and process concept ontology. TMS-QL allows users to describe service discovery requests.

The Intelligent Web Service is proposed for the purpose of automatic discovery, invocation, composition, inter-operation, execution monitoring and recovery web service through the Semantic Web and the Agent technology. To accomplish this Intelligent Web Service, the Ontology is a necessity for reasoning and processing the knowledge by the computer. However, creating service ontology, for the intelligent web service, has two problems not only consuming a lot of time and cost depended on heuristic of service developer, but also being hard to be mapping completely between service and service ontology. Moreover, the markup language to describe the service ontology is currently hard to be learned by the service developer In a short time. This paper proposes the efficient way of designing and creating the service ontology using MDA methodology. This proposed solution reuses the creating model in terms of desiEninE and constructing Web Service Model using UML based on MDA. After converting the Platform-Independent Web Service Model to the dependent model of OWL-S which is a Service Ontology description language, it converts to OWL-S Service Ontology using XMI. This proposed solution has profits, oneis able to be easily constructed the Service Ontology by Service Developers, the other is enable to be created the both service and Service Ontology from one model. Moreover, it can be effective to reduce the time and cost as creating Service Ontology automatically from a model, and calmly dealt with a change of outer environment like as the platform change. This paper cites an instance for the validity of designing Web Service model and creating the Service Ontology, and validates whether the created Service Ontology is valid or not.

To better publish geographical information on the Web, it is important to capture how Web technologies are changing. For a recent decade, Semantic Web has been developed by incorporating ontologies into the current Web, with an aim to make computers understand rather than simply display. Ontology, an explicit specification of a conceptualization, and the Semantic Web grounded on the ontology, have the potential for effective sharing and appropriate retrieval of geographical information. This paper describes a Semantic Web Service over the mobile Web that can offer pertinent tourism information according to user contexts. To do this, a tourism ontology was formalized in the PARA(Place-Attraction-Resource-Activity) ontology model by organizing tourist places, tourist attractions, tourism resources, and activities. Locational relationships between tourist places were also included in the PARA ontology model to take into account the movements of tourists on a railway network. The XML(Extensible Markup Language) Web Service in the middle tier manages the client-side request for information retrieval and the corresponding server-side response from the data provider. The PARA ontology was integrated into the XML Web Service for the concept-based discovery of tourism information. The applicability of the proposed system was tested through a simulation experiment for Tokyo tourism.

In the last few years, The Semantic Web has increased the interest in ontologies. Ontology is an essential component of the semantic web. Ontologies continue to change and evolve. We consider the management of versions in ontology. We study a set of changes based on domain changes, changes in conceptualization, metadata changes, and temporal dimension. In many cases, we want to be able to search in historical versions, query changes in versions, retrieve versions on the temporal dimension. In order to support an ontology query language that supports temporal operations, we consider temporal dimension includes transaction time and valid time. Ontology versioning brings about massive amount of versions to be stored and maintained. We present the storage policies that are storing all the versions, all the sequence of changed element, all the change sets, the aggregation of change sets periodically, and the aggregation of change sets using a criterion. We conduct a set of experiments to compare the performance of each storage policies. We present the experimental results for evaluating the performance of different storage policies from scheme 1 to scheme 5.
