The Topic Maps paradigm allows people and organizations to integrate and merge heterogeneous products classification systems such as UNSPSC and HS. Merging their product ontologies could combine information about classification scheme for products. We analyzed two product classification schemes for UML modeling and developed an integrated TM for watches . Examples in XTM syntax show how UNSPSC and HS can be integrated by merging their ontology.

In order to classify and manage on-line trading goods, the product classification scheme must be maintained. In most systems for handling product information, the classification scheme is managed manually by experts, which in general incurs a lot of time and cost. Effective management of classification system becomes more important as rapid development of industry expedites diversity and convergence of goods and services. There have been many researches on developing classification scheme, and continuing in this line of research, this paper proposes a new method for automatic generation of product classification scheme. Our main idea starts from the concept that a product is a set of attributes, and we propose a novel algorithm for automatically creating hierarchical classification scheme by utilizing inclusive relationships between products. We then prove the effectiveness of proposed algorithm by conducting an experiment.

The purpose of this study is to identify how to construct an internet shopping mall classification system used on the library classification theories. To aid in identifying classification system, this study focused on the Ranganathan’s classification canons; canons for characteristics, canons for terms. The study shows six priniciples for an internet shopping mall classification system construct: products’characteristics, inclusiveness, various access points, category sequence and term consistency, term currency and obviousness, no term duplication. For future research, product’s search patterns and relationship to interface are suggested.

Off-line ship chartering is done nearly through(by) the brokers. Because of the international scale of chartering marker, brokers spend too much times and costs on searching the most appropriate product which the consumers want. In this research, we propose the on-line Charter Product Categorization Model to search the products efficiently in the Cyber Chartering System. This Model will make concerned parties of the ship chartering to get efficient and unific product information. and to select the most appropriate product. In this research, we classified the ship chartering products into categories of cargo, ship type, and sea routes, and formed the definition of mutual relation of each products. Moreover we verified that this classification is necessary to search the products by the product searching experiment.

A product classification scheme is the foundation on which product databases are designed, and plays a central role in almost all aspects of management and use of product information. It needs to meet diverse user views to support efficient and convenient use of product information. It needs to be changed and evolved very often without breaking consistency in the cases of introduction of new products, extinction of existing products, class reorganization, and class specialization. It also needs to be merged and mapped with other classification schemes without information loss when B2B transactions occur. For these requirements, a classification scheme should be so dynamic that it takes in them within right time and cost. The existing classification schemes widely used today such as UNSPSC and eCl@ss, however, have a lot of limitations to meet these requirements for dynamic features of classification. Product information implies a plenty of semantics such as class attributes like material, time, place, etc., and integrity constraints. In this Paper, we analyze the dynamic features of product databases and the limitation of existing code based classification schemes, and describe the semantic classification model proposed in [1], which satisfies the requirements for dynamic features of product databases. It provides a means to explicitly and formally express more semantics for product classes and organizes class relationships into a graph.

Electronic catalogs (or e-catalogs) hold information about the goods and services offered or requested by the participants, and consequently, form the basis of an e-commerce transaction. Catalog management is complicated by a number of factors and product classification is at the core of these issues. Classification hierarchy is used for spend analysis, custom3 regulation, and product identification. Classification is the foundation on which product databases are designed, and plays a central role in almost all aspects of management and use of product information. However, product classification has received little formal treatment in terms of underlying model, operations, and semantics. We believe that the lack of a logical model for classification Introduces a number of problems not only for the classification itself but also for the product database in general. It needs to meet diverse user views to support efficient and convenient use of product information. It needs to be changed and evolved very often without breaking consistency in the cases of introduction of new products, extinction of existing products, class reorganization, and class specialization. It also needs to be merged and mapped with other classification schemes without information loss when B2B transactions occur. For these requirements, a classification scheme should be so dynamic that it takes in them within right time and cost. The existing classification schemes widely used today such as UNSPSC and eClass, however, have a lot of limitations to meet these requirements for dynamic features of classification. In this paper, we try to understand what it means to classify products and present how best to represent classification schemes so as to capture the semantics behind the classifications and facilitate mappings between them. Product information implies a plenty of semantics such as class attributes like material, time, place, etc., and integrity constraints. In this paper, we analyze the dynamic features of product databases and the limitation of existing code based classification schemes. And describe the semantic classification model, which satisfies the requirements for dynamic features oi product databases. It provides a means to explicitly and formally express more semantics for product classes and organizes class relationships into a graph. We believe the model proposed in this paper satisfies the requirements and challenges that have been raised by previous works.

The activity conducted throughout the life cycle of any facility generate an enormous quantity of data that needs to be stored, retrieved, communicated, and used by all parties involved. Advanced in technology have increased the opportunities for gathering, providing access to exchanging, and archiving all of this information for future reference. Considering that classification system of construction material is reviewed international exchange of information by the ISO standard, it is consist of classification form of construction process. As a result, this study analyzed to OmniClass Table-22(Master Format-20(4) for the purpose of gaining a the international standard and electronic information, and compared to OmniClass Table-23 ${\cdot}$ 35 ${\cdot}$ 41(UniClass, EPIC) for the expansion and standardization. Furthermore, it is tried to integrate with UN/SPSC attribute code for the establishing of application and international exchange.

인터넷은 단순한 정보 교환의 수단이 아니라 기업들의 이윤 창출을 위한 새로운 공간이 되고 있으며 수많은 쇼핑몰들이 이를 설명해 주고 있다. 하지만 분류체계 측면에서 각 쇼핑몰들이 제공하고 있는 분류체계에는 크게 다음 두 가지의 문제점이 있다. 첫째로 각 쇼핑몰마다 서로 다른 자기만의 상품 분류체계를 가지고 있다는 점이다. 이로 인해 쇼핑몰을 이용하고자 하는 사용자는 각 쇼핑몰을 방문할 때마다 혼란스러울 수 밖에 없다. 두 번째는 각 쇼핑몰이 제공하고 있는 분류체계는 정적인 형태만을 띄고 있다는 점이다. 따라서 사용자는 이미 정해져 있는 상품에 대한 분류의 체계만을 좋건 싫건 간에 따라야 한다. 따라서 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 규칙이라는 추가 정보를 가지도록 모델링된 쇼핑몰의 분류체계들에 대하여 자동적인 통합의 기법을 제시한다. 제시된 기법에 의하여 쇼핑몰 사용자들에게 모든 쇼핑몰의 통합된 뷰의 제공, 사용자별 분류체계의 생성, 메타 쇼핑몰 간의 통일된 인터페이스 제공 등을 할 수 있다.

본 논문은 구매이력 데이터에서 상품간의 분류 체계를 고려하여 시퀀스 간의 유사도를 계산하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 시퀀스란 두 항목간의 순서가 존재하는 데이터를 의미한다. 항목 간의 선후관계가 중요한 시퀀스 데이터에서는 두 시퀀스 간의 유사도를 정확히 정의하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 시퀀스 유사도 측정 알고리즘인 편집 거리 알고리즘을 활용하여 구매이력 데이터에서 시퀀스 간의 유사도를 정의한다. 상품은 상품의 특성에 따라 항목 분류 체계에서 여러 범주로 분류된다. 이 경우 기존의 편집 거리 알고리즘에서 문자의 일치유무에 따라 단순히 0 또는 1을 부여하는 것은 부정확하다. 따라서 본 논문은 편집 거리 알고리즘의 수정 연산 중 대체 연산 비용 계산 시 항목 분류 트리를 사용하여 연산 비용이 0 에서 1 사이의 값을 가지도록 세분화하였다. 실험 결과 제안 방법은 대체 연산 비용 계산 시 두 문자가 다르면 단순히 1 을 부여하는 기존의 편집 거리 알고리즘에 비해 시퀀스 간의 유사도를 더 정확하게 계산함을 확인하였다.

Current changing to the customer-oriented market naturally causes suppliers to meet an age of competition on the quality. In order to plan housing meeting this quality competitiveness era, I set up the type classification system of quality differentiation for the unit of apartment housing by executing differentiation cases of unit quality and type analysis of the object. The system is consist of 3 classification systems by quality element, user convenience element and product element as follows: First element is to classify quality element on the basis of plane and interior elements, architectural elements and second one is user convenience element relating facility to classify environment-oriented, safety, energy saving and convenience. The other one is the product element to classify furniture, installing product and convenient product. I believe that this classification system will be useful to determine any classification elements of product for product positioning and product planning in the stage of marketing planning of apartment housing in the future.
