Abstract

The ontology is the underlying knowledge base to create the semantic web. Prerequisites for the success of the semantic web include widespread uses/sharing/merging of ontologies. In addition, it is very crucial to secure the integrity of ontology instances such as instance-identifying/referring integrity, and attribute domain constraints. In terms of ensuring instance-identifying integrity, OWL provides owl:sameAs property which is used to connect two separate ontology instances in order to represent that the two instances are the same. Recent semantic web works, however, have not sufficiently investigated the issues one may face in applying owl:sameAs to real semantic web applications. This study introduces our experiences of sameAs in developing a semantic web service framework for a research domain.

차세대 시맨틱 기술 적용의 비전인 시맨틱 웹의 성공을 위해서는 그 기반 지식이 되는 온툴로지의 생산， 공유 및 연계가 전제되어야 함과 동시에 온툴로지를 구성하는 개체들의 정합성이 보장되어야 한다 온툴로지 개체 정합성 측면에서 두 개의 서로 다른 온툴로지 개체가 실세계에서 동일한 개체임을 표현하기 위한 방편으로 OWL에서는 sameAs가 사용될 수 있다. 그러나， 최근까지의 시맨틱 웹 응용 연구에 있어서 sameAs 적용과 관련된 문제점과 고려사항들이 충분히 고찰되지 못했다. 이 연구는 과학기술 연구분야 온툴로지에서의 sameAs 적용 사례를 소개함으로써 sameAs와 관련된 이해의 폭을 공유하고자 한다.
