In recent years, numerous studies have been attempted to exploit ontology in the area of ubiquitous computing. Especially, some kinds of ontologies written in OWL are proposed for major issues in ubiquitous computing such like context-awareness. OWL is recommended by W3C as a descriptive language for representing ontology with rich vocabularies. However, developers struggle to design ontology using OWL, because of the complex syntax of OWL. The research for OWL visualization aims to overcome this problem, but most of the existing approaches unfortunately do not provide efficient interface to visualize OWL ontology. Moreover, as the size of ontology grows bigger, each class and relation are difficult to represent on the editing window due to the small size limitation of screen. In this paper, we present OWL visualization scheme that supports class information in detail. This scheme is based on concept of social network, and we implement OWL visualization plug-in on $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ that is the most famous ontology editor.

본 논문에서는 기업 온톨로지(EO: Enterprise Ontology)를 기반으로 한 조선소 건조 공정의 표현 및 분석 사례를 기술한다. 조선소 건조 공정은 가공, 조립, 탑재, 진수, 시운전, 명명, 인도의 과정을 거친다. 본 논문에서는 그 중 가공공정과 조립공정의 배관설계 업무를 표현하고 분석하였다. 우선, 조선 가공공정과 조립공정의 배관설계 업무를 대상으로 온톨로지를 구축하고 기존의 기업 온톨로지와 병합(Merge)하여 조선소 건조 공정에서의 기업 온톨로지를 생성하였다. 병합된 온톨로지와 프로테제의 플러그인을 활용하여 각 프로세스를 표현할 수 있었고 건조공정의 현재 상태를 분석하고 프로세스상의 여러 요소들 간의 의존성도 분석할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 조선과 같은 복잡한 프로세스를 가지는 산업에서도 기업 경영과 프로세스 관리에 기업 온톨로지가 유용함을 검증하였다.

A product family design has received much attention over the last several decades, since a product family-based development shortens lead-times and reduces cost, as well as increases efficiency and effectiveness of the product realization process. It is challenging work, however, to define the product family design in the heterogeneous product development environments, due to myriads of products related information described in different ways across products in any companies. In this paper, we provided a way of defining product family design framework using formal concept analysis and ontology language. Based on this, the specific product family can be derived by ontological reasoning, and the new product concept can be also expanded in the framework. The proposed framework is formalized using OWL (Web Ontology Language) and implemented in $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$. Actual product family design algorithm is carried out using FaCT++ engine, a plug-in to $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$, and the benefits of the proposed method are also demonstrated through a case study.

Performance management is very popular in business area and seems to be an exciting topic. Despite significant research efforts and myriads of performance metrics, performance management today as a rigorous approach is still in an immature state and metrics are often selected based on intuitive and heuristic approach. In a R&D sector, the difficulty to select the proper performance metrics is even more increasing due to the natural characteristics of R&D such as unique or domain-specific problems. In this paper, we present a way of presenting R&D performance framework using ontology language. Based on this, the specific metrics can be derived by reusing or inheriting the context in the framework. The proposed ontological framework is formalized using OWL(Ontology Web Language) and metrics selection rules satisfying the characteristics of R&D are represented in SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language). Actual metrics selection procedure is carried out using JESS rule engine, a plug-in to Prot$\acute{e}$g$\acute{e}$, and illustrated with an example, incorporating a prevalent R&D performance model : TVP(Technology Value Pyramid).
