A feedback echo is a structured restatement of the user's query and informs the user what the system intends to do for the query. This provides backtracking of the user's query so that the user knows how the system has interpreted the query. This study scrutinizes whether the feedback echo, as currently available in the INTELLECT commercial system, can improve the performance of a casual user using a restricted natural language database interface. This study concludes that the particular type of feedback echo available in this commercial system was not effective in terms of overall performance for casual users. It is worth mentioning, however, that the feedback echo was effective for the specific type of error: using wrong conditions for data retrieval.

The SMIL(Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) documents are represented as logical structure information, spatial layout structure information, temporal synchronization structure information and hyperlink structure information, according as the structural characteristics of SMIL documents based on XML. This paper proposes the effective modeling and query method for the multi -structure information of inherent SMIL documents. In particular, we present the object-oriented modeling by using UML class diagram in order to represent the objects classes for the structured information of SMIL documents, and the hierarchical structure and the relationships for the objects classes. In addition, the objects classes definition is specified in compliance with SQL3 for database standard language. We also propose the access method and the query representation for hierarchical structure in order to retrieve efficiently the structural objects of SMIL documents.

The widespreading of XML as a standard for semi-structured documents on the Web opens up challenging opportunities for Web query language. And UML is a graphical language to represent the result of object-oriented analysis and design. In this paper, we introduce an UML-based graphical query language for XML documents. The use of a visual formalism for representing the syntax and semantics of queries enables an intuitive expression of queries, even when they are rather complex. And, it is matched a series of processes to store and retrieve XML documents to OODBMS with the use of an uniform visualization for representing both the content of XML documents (and of their DTD) and the syntax and semantics of queries.

우리가 일상적으로 사용하는 말속에는 모호한 표현들이 많이 들어있다. 예를 들어, '젊다', '크다', '어느 정도' 등의 표현들은 정해진 값을 갖는 말들이 아니다. 가장 보편화된 RDBMS에서의 질의어인 SQL(Structured Query Language, 이하 SQL)은 데이터베이스에서 허용된 값, 즉 정량적인 값들에 대해서만 질의할 수 있도록 되어 있다. '젊은 여자' 혹은 '20세 정도의 여자'라는 질의는 할 수 없으며, '25세의 여자' 라는 식으로 정확한 질의만이 허용된다. 그러나 정보량이 급증하고 있고, 정보가 곧 힘이 되는 지금, 일반 사용자들도 데이터베이스에서 자신이 원하는 정보를 얻어 낼 수 있어야만 하게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일반 사용자들도 데이터베이스에서 일상적으로 사용하는 단어(이하 자연어)로 질의를 할 수 있도록 하는 FSQL에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

The method of recent information retrieval passes into an semantic search to provide more accurate results than keyword-based search. But in common user case, they are still accustomed to using existing keyword-based search. Hence they are hard to create a typed structured query language. In this paper, we propose to ontology knowledge-base scheme for query interpretation of these user. The proposed scheme was designed based on the OWL-DL for description logic reasoning, it can provide a richer representation of the relationship between the object by using SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language). Finally, we are describe the experimental results of the similarity measurement for verification of a user query semantic interpretation.

Video information is an important component of multimedia systems such as Digital Library, World-Wide Web (WWW), and Video-On-Demand (VOD) service system. Video information has hierarchical document structure inherently, so it is named "structure video document" in this paper. This paper proposes a data model, a query language, and an indexing scheme for structured video documents in order to store, retrieve, and share video documents efficiently. In representing structured video documents, the object-oriented data modeling technique is used since the hierarchical structure information can be modeled as complex objects. We also define object types for the structure information. Our query language supports not only content-based retrieval, which means the queries based on the structure of video documents, and spatial/temporal relation for video documents. In order to perform structure queries efficiently, as well as to reduce the storage overhead of indices, an optimized inverted index structure is proposed.

An XML document has a structure which may be irregular. It is difficult for end-users to comprehend the irregular document structure exactly. For these XML documents, an end-user has a difficulty in using structured query. Therefore, an end-user formulates no structured query or a query which has a little structure information. In this context, we propose new retrieval models which use the structured information for ranking and compensate the difference between user query structure and document structure. To ease with querying, we assume the independence among querying paths which represent structural constraints. Since this assumption makes degradation of the expression power of a query language, we also propose a model which overcome this problem. As there had been no test collections for XML documents, we made a small test collection from TIPSTER of the RTEC and experimented on this collection without a structured query, From this experiment, we showed that our models improve average precision about 67% over conventional Vector-Space model.

The continuously growing internet service requirements has resulted in a multitier system structure consisting of web server and database (DB) server. In this multitier structure, the existing intrusion detection system (IDS) detects known attacks by matching misused traffic patterns or signatures. However, malicious change to the contents at DB server through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) requests at the DB server cannot be detected by the IDS at the DB server's end, since the DB server processes structured query language (SQL) without knowing the associated HTTP, while the web server cannot identify the response associated with the attacker's SQL query. To detect these types of attacks, the malicious user is tracked using knowledge on interaction between HTTP request and SQL query. However, this is a practical challenge because system's source code analysis and its application logic needs to be understood completely. In this study, we proposed a scheme to find the HTTP request associated with a given SQL query using only system log files. We first generated an HTTP request-SQL query map from system log files alone. Subsequently, the HTTP request associated with a given SQL query was identified among a set of HTTP requests using this map. Computer simulations indicated that the proposed scheme finds the HTTP request associated with a given SQL query with 94% accuracy.

A fuzzy query language, called FSQL, in the relational databases is introduced in this paper. In general, database systems have query systems which are able to retrieve and manipulate precise data. However, such queries are hard to operate on the real world applications since their queries are often imprecise or incomplete. Recently, considerable attention has been given to research dealing with vagueness of the query in relational database systems. In this paper we have suggested an effective method of accepting vagueness of the query in data processing. The syntax of FSQL is formally defined with EBNF, and an interpreter of FSQL has been implemented as a prototype.

Visual Object Query language(VOQL) proposed recently is a visual object-oriented database query language which can effectively represent queries on complex structured data, since schema information is visually included in query expressions. VOQL, which is a graph-based query language with inductively defined semantics, can concisely represent various text-based path expressions by graph, and clearly convey the semantics of complex path expressions. however, the existing VOQL assumes that all the attributes are multi-valued, and cannot visualize the concept of binding of object variables. therefore, VPAL query expressions are not intuitive, so that it is difficult to extend the existing VOQL theoretically. In this paper, we propose VOQL that improved on these problems. The improved VOQL visualizes the result of a single-valued attribute and that of a multi-valued attribute as a visual element and a subblob, respectively, and specifies the binding of object variables by introducing visual variables, so that the improved VOQL intuitively and clearly represents the semantics of queries.
