Because of the rapid development of information technology and easiness in using internet, Web becomes indispensible utility in every day life and various information has been shared in internet. However, caused by the flood of information in the Web, the skill of acquiring required information with easy becomes one of the most urgent on utilizing internet. As a solution fur the requirement, Semantic Web, which upgrades present web technology by using semantic skills, has been researched actively ud Ontology is regarded as the basis of constructing semantic web system. The aim of this research is on developing agent using ontology skills for botanic resources. Moreover, the system can be used for developing and accumulating various resources effectively.

The applying of semantic technologies that aim to let computers understand and automatically process the meaning of the interlinked data on the Web is spreading. In Semantic Web, understanding and accessing the associations between data that is, the meaning between data as well as accessing to the data itself is important. W3C recommended RDF (Resource Description Framework) as a standard format to represent both Semantic Web data and their associations and also proposed several RDF query languages in order to support query processing for RDF data. However further researches on the query language definition considering the semantic associations and query processing techniques are still required. In this paper, using the suffix array-based indexing scheme previously introduced for RDF query processing, we propose a query processing approach to handle ${\rho}$-path query which is the representative type of semantic associations. To evaluate the query processing performance of the proposed approach, we implemented two different types of query processing approaches and measured the average query processing times. The experiments show that the proposed approach achieved 1.8 to 2.5 and 3.8 to 11 times better performance respectively than others two.

Because the current web search engine estimates the similarity of documents, using the frequency of words, many documents irrespective of the user query are provided. To solve these kinds of problems, the semantic web is appearing as a future web. It is possible to provide the service based on the semantic web through ontology which specifies the knowledge in a special domain and defines the concepts of knowledge and the relationships between concepts. In this paper to search the information of potential customers for home-delivery marketing, we model the specific domain for generating the ontology. And we research how to retrieve the information, using the ontology. Therefore, in this paper, we generate the ontology to define the domain about potential customers and develop the search robot which collects the information of customers.

Recently, as the generation and sharing of web data have increased, the importance of a social semantic web that combines the semantic web and the social web has also been increasing. In this paper, we propose a trust evaluation scheme based on provenance by extending the PROV model in the social semantic web environment. The proposed scheme manages the provenance of web data and adds the necessary elements for trust evaluation in the PROV model of W3C. The extended PROV model supports data management and provenance tracing. The proposed trust evaluation scheme considers various parameters such as user trust, original data trust, and user evaluation. The evaluated trust is managed as provenance. When processing a query, the proposed scheme generates a result by considering the trust. Therefore, the proposed scheme can manage the provenance of web data and compute data trust correctly by using such various parameters. The evaluated trust becomes a criterion to determine whether the query result can be trusted or not. In order to show the validity of the proposed scheme, we verify its performance using SPARQL queries.

The semantic web is taken as next generation standards of information exchange on the internet to overcome the limitations of the current web. To utilize the information on the semantic web, tools are required the functionality of query search and reasoning for the ontology. However, most of semantic web management tools cannot efficiently support the search for the complex query because they apply Triple-based storage structure about RDF metadata. We design the storage structure of the ontology in corresponding with the structure of ontology data and develop the search system(SMART-DLTriple) to support complex query search efficiently in this research. The performance of the system using new storage structure is evaluated to compare with the popular semantic web management systems. The proposed method and system make a contribution to enhancement of a practical ontology reasoning systems due to improved performance of the ontology search.

The Semantic Web is a new technology that attempts to achieve effective retrieval, automation, integration, and reuse of web resources by constructing knowledge bases that are composed of machine-readable definitions and associations of resources that express the relationships among them. To have this kind of Semantic Web in place, it is necessary to have the following infrastructures: capability to assign unchangeable and unique identifier (URI) to each resource, adoption of XML namespace concept to prevent collision of element and attribute names defined by various institutions, widespread use of RDF to describe resources so that diverse metadata can be interoperable, use of RDF schema to define the meaning of metadata elements and the relationships among them, adoption of DAML+OIL that is built upon RDF(S) to increase reasoning capability and expressive power, and finally adoption of OWL that is built upon DAML+OIL by removing unnecessary constructors and adding new ones based on experience of using DAML+OIL. The purpose of this study is to describe the central concepts and technologies related to the Semantic Web and to discuss the benefits of metadata interoperability based on XML/RDF schemas and the potential applications of diverse ontologies.

In this study, we propose a methodology of mating it easy to integrate the heterogeneous and distributed information of e-Business environments with the semantic web components , knowledge representation, ontology and agents. It is based on a collaborative interoperable environment, which should be constructed by meta-modeling and employing agents , and the syntactic/semantic integration. We adopt OWL(Web Ontology Language) to specify ontology in a layered architecture for each agent to use, which is based on the IRDS (Information Resource Dictionary Standard) framework. And we give an illustrative example using the terms from PSL(Process Specification Language)-ontology. By defining, managing and sharing resources and business-processes on the proposed framework, it could be possible to get rid of the cause of redundancy and inconsistency.

When a consumer intends to purchase products through Internet stores, many difficulties are met because of limitations of the current search engines and the current web structure, and lack of tools supporting decision-makings. This paper raises an Internet shopping problem and proposes a framework of decision making process to settle it with an intelligent agent based on Semantic Web and Finite Domain Constraint. The agent uses finite domain constraint programming as modeling and solution methods for the decision problem under the Semantic Web environment.

Now a days, to make good use of tags is a general tendency when users need to upload or search some multimedia data such as images and videos on the Web. In this paper, we introduce an approach to calculate semantic importance of tags and to make re-ranking with them on tagged Web image retrieval. Generally, most photo images stored on the Web have lots of tags added with user's subjective judgements not by the importance of them. So they become the cause of precision rate decrease with simple matching of tags to a given query. Therefore, if we can select semantically important tags and employ them on the image search, the retrieval result would be enhanced. In this paper, we propose a method to make image retrieval re-ranking with the key tags which share more semantic information with a query or other tags based on Wikipedia-based semantic relatedness. With the semantic relatedness calculated by using huge on-line encyclopedia, Wikipedia, we found the superiority of our method in precision and recall rate as experimental results.

With the emergence of Semantic Web and Web 2.0, the paradigm shift of the Web is on resource-centered services. That is, the focus now moves from having just rich resources to the meta-information of describing the resources. The relevant standards, RDF(Resource Description Language) and Topic Maps, of describing the meta-information are defined and adopted by W3C and ISO respectively. Describing meta-information in such a XML form could be burdensome to participants. Semantic Wiki extended from 1)WikiWikiWeb is proposed to deal with the problem. It enables users to generate RDF meta-information about Wiki pages with simple usages of the grammar. We discuss the way of improving interoperability between Topic Maps-based semantic Wiki papges and RDF-based ones. The method proposed by RDFTM task force is present with the usage of high-level Wiki grammar for facilitating low-level transformation.
