The purpose of this paper is to propose a powerful alternative in designing knowledge portals using Topic Maps(TM). All information is processing for one topic, about each topics define to association and composite flow of information. and all topics about add occurrence to use in the OpenAPI. Also represent to UI of graphic for intuitional representation, and using JavaScript for Cross-Browsing. so that not using XTM of a standard Topic Maps(TM) and using JSON for a simple represent to data. The results made for intuitional process UI and extensive limits to display for new information before until now musician search system. In future positive to musician search for music.

This study suggests a query conversion method based on Topic Maps MetaData Registry(TMDR) in order to solve heterogeneity problems distributed in networks and to integrate data efficiently. In order to integrate distributed data, TMDR provides global schema and it solves heterogeneity problem within local data using query conversion method. After analyzing relationship between Meta Schema Ontology(MSO) of eXtended Meta Data Registry(XMDR) and Topic Maps, this method allows integrated access through Meta Location(ML) which manages accessing information of local data. The processing method is to produce a global query for global processing by using TMDR and then to make the produced global query approach to systems distributed through networks so that allows integrated access at the end. For this, we propose a method to convert a global query into a query which is adaptive to local query.

In cloud environment, enterprises use a number of systems which are not interconnected and save master information in a distributed way in each of them. Master information which is not managed is incorrect and discord each other so that lowers efficiency of business process and disables optimum decision making. It is necessary to do high-qualified management of master information to operate efficient and errorless business process. This paper suggests TMDM as a solution to solve heterogeneous problems occurred between interconnected master information in cloud environment and to manage business process in an efficient method. TMDM is an information storage that is suggested to solve mutual discord problems between master information using Topic Maps that considers correlation between data. Topic Maps can be connected by association between topics in order to access through a topic to all related knowledge information which is described by the topic. This also can be applied to master information between legacy systems within cloud.

The purpose of this study is to describe major concepts related to W3C OWL and ISO Topic Maps and to provide the result of comparison and analysis regarding semantic expression power between two ontology languages. This paper is comprised of the following parts: 1) describing URI and namespace concepts that are fundamental building block of effective ontology construction; 2) offering detailed explanation of major Topic Map concepts such as topics, associations, and occurrences; 3) providing how to accomplish the second purpose of cataloging(grouping related items when displaying the search result) using Topic Map; and 4) finally explaining the difference between two ontology languages in terms of semantic expression power.

Emerging Web 2.0 services such as Twitter, Blogs, and Wikis alongside the poorlystructured and immeasurable growth of information requires an enhanced information organization approach. Ontology has received much attention over the last 10 years as an emerging approach for enhancing information organization. However, there is little penetration into current systems. The purpose of this study is to propose ontology implementation and methodology. To achieve the goal of this study, limitations of traditional information organization approaches are addressed and emerging information organization approaches are presented. Two ontology data models, RDF/OW and Topic Maps, are compared and then ontology development processes and methodology with topic maps based medical information retrieval system are addressed. The comparison of two data models allows users to choose the right model for ontology development.

웹 상에는 많은 자원들과 정보들이 존재한다. XML은 이러한 자원들과 정보들을 구조화하기 위해서 개발되었다. XTM(XML Topic Maps)은 XML의 형태로 자원들과 정보들에 의미를 부여할 수 있는 언어이다. XTM은 Topic과 Association을 이용해서 자원들과 정보들이 가진 의미를 표현한다 XTM상에서 나타나는 Topic과 Association은 매우 거대하고 다양하기 때문에 모든 Topic과 Association을 한꺼번에 표현하기 어렵다 또한, 사용자가 수백만개의 Topic과 Association에서 원하는 Topic과 Association을 찾기 어렵다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 다양한 시각화 방법이 연구되었다. 현재 Topic Maps을 표현할 때 트리, 그래프, 맵 등 하나의 구조를 이용해서 표현한다. 하지만 추상화정도에 따라 시각화 방법은 장ㆍ단점을 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 웹 상의 자원, 정보들과 의미 사이에 여러 계층이 존재하는 다층적 시각화를 제안한다. 각 계층은 독립적인 표현구조로 나타내어 추상화정도에 따라 최적화된 구조를 사용한다. 사용자는 자신이 원하는 Topic과 Association을 점진적 접근을 통해서 원하는 Topic과 Association을 검색할 수 있다. 또한 Topic이 Association의 member처럼 사용되는 경우, 시각적으로 Topic이 표현되면 Topic은 연결된 Association과 직접적인 연결을 갖는다.

The purpose of this research is to propose a powerful alternative in designing knowledge portals using Topic Maps(TM). To demonstrate the power of TM In constructing knowledge portals. we designed a TM-based korean folk music(pansori) site, tested It with an existing pansoree site (pansoree.com ) employing diverse query patterns : simple, advanced, associative, and cross referential Queries. The results show that the TM-based site outperforms the pansoree.com in searching time and steps. The TM-based site also provide novice users who do not know pansori domain with easy access to Information that they need.

The purpose of this study is to design metadata model for describing different kinds of concepts, properties, and semantic relationships of result materials of researches. We examine our metadata model to evaluate correctness and efficiency of the model through contents analysis of a constructed database. From the results of examination, we suggest more effective structure of metadata schema. Domain ontology could constructed by the enlarged thesaurus in order to overcome the limitation of the keyword search, therefore we design a philosophy and religion ontology based on subject classification to improve information retrieval and implement it using XML/Topic Maps to improve retrieval functionality of our database.

Currently, developed technologies for semantic web services discovery are based on ontologies. These ontologies are DAML-S(DARPA Agent Markup Language for Services) and Process Handbook Project of MIT. These technologies have some problems for intelligent web services discovery. So, in this paper we analyzed those ontologies and proposed TM-S, Topic Maps for Services. TM-S is the presentation model for semantic web services. And TM-S includes benefits and complements weaknesses of those ontologies. And we proposed TMS-QL, TM-S Query Language. TMS-QL is query language for intelligent web services discovery. At last, we designed and implemented intelligent web service discovery system that deals TM-S ontology and TMS-QL

Users in 3D virtual environment get limited information which contains mostly images. It is the main reason for users getting lost during their Navigation. Various studies of Navigation-Aid have been done in order to solve this problem. In this study, we applied Topic Maps, which is one of semantic Web techniques, to the navigation in a 3D virtual environment. Topic Maps construct semantic linking maps through defining the relations between topics. Experiments in which Topic Map based Navigation-Aid was applied have shown that the Navigation-Aid was effective when the subjects find a detailed target rather than a highly represented one. Also, offering information around the target helped the users to find the target when they navigated without having specific targets.
