Although MARC can define the detail cataloguing data, it has complex structures and frameworks to represent bibliographic information. On account of these idiosyncratic features of MARC, XML DTD or RDF/S that supports simple hierarchy of conceptual vocabularies cannot capture MARC formalism effectively. This study implements bibliographic ontology by means of abstracting conceptual relationships between bibliographic vocabularies of MARC. The bibliographic ontology is formalized with OWL that can represent the logical relations between conceptual elements and specify cardinality and property value restrictions. The bibliographic ontology in this study will provide metadata for cataloguing data and resolve compatibility problems between cataloguing systems. And it can also contribute the development of next generation bibliographic information system using semantic Web services.

Information retrieval is one of the most challenging areas in which the ontology technology is effectively used. Among them image retrieval using the image meta data and ontology is the one that can substitute the keyword-based image retrieval. In the paper, the retrieval of visual media such as the art image and photo picture is handled. It is assumed that there are more than one service providers of the visual media and also there is one central service broker that mediates the user's query. Given the user's query the first step that must be done in the service broker is to get the list of candidate service providers that fit the query. This is done by defining various ontologies such as the service ontology and matching the query against the ontology and providers. A novel matching method based on the ASN.1. The experiment shows that the method is more effective than existing tree-based and interval-based methods. Ontology merging issue is also handled that can happen when the service providers register their service into the service broker. An effective method is also proposed.

Continual attempts to accumulate and apply information eventually gave birth to the concept of the "Semantic Web". Thus, the "Semantic Web" can be defined as a product of mankind's desire to standardize information. At the same time, the term provides "a method that standardizes mankind's concept of linguistical expression", and can be noted as an effort to combine such methods into a standard web environment that may materialize to form a catalogue. This study introduced RDF schema, ontology languages for the semantic web, and ontology-based systems. The purpose of the study was to construct a system based on the semantic web environment's ontology by utilizing the ontology schema derived from the facettype Art and Architecture Thesaurus(AAT). The aforementioned ontology schema is based on the Web Ontology Language(OWL), which is being widely considered the standard ontology language for the W3C-centered semantic web environment.

In this paper, we suggest a fish drug domain ontology to show an associated information and hierarchy together through concept-relation and inference mechanism instead of keyword matching. First, we investigate competency questions from workers of fishery industry and then we derive concepts and terminologies. Next, we present a process of fish drug ontology modelling using Protege-OWL editor, which is an extension of Protege that supports the Web Ontology Language(OWL). Last, we suggest the user interface of semantic web-based fish drug information system to search easily associated informations of fish drug using this ontology. It is to provide an effective search method that fish disease manager, fish farmer, and students majoring in fisheries can confirm details of diseases, fish, and drug evaluations associated with fish drug within one screen without moving to another position.

최근에 이르러 온톨로지 (Ontology) 및 시맨틱 웹 (Semantic Web) (1) 에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행됨에 따라 이들을 처리할 수 있는 에이전트 시스템의 중요성 또한 부각되고 있다. 이러한 에이전트 시스템은 규칙(Rule)을 기반으로 하여 해당 조건을 만족시키는 경우에 규칙에 정의된 행동을 실행하도록 설계된다. 하지만 이러한 시스템이 않은 양의 규칙과 조건을 처리하는 경우 특정한 조건에 맞는 규칙을 검사하는 과정에서 많은 오버헤드가 걸리게 된다. 이러한 시스템의 단점을 보완하고자 사용되는 것이 RETE 알고리즘으로서 각 조건과 규칙들을 빠르게 검색할 수 있는 네트워크를 구성하고 특정 조건이 만족되는 경우 이를 창조하는 규칙들의 목록을 즉시 얻어낼 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 JAM 에이전트 시스템에 RETE 알고리즘을 적용시키고 이를 통해 더욱 효율적인 에이전트 시스템을 구성하고자 한다.

Recently, distribution of record via web and coefficient of utilization are increase. so, Archival information service using website becomes essential part of record center. The main point of archival information service by website is making record information retrieval easy. It has need of matching user's request and representation of record resources correctly to making archival information retrieval easy. Archivist and record manager have used various information representation tools from taxonomy to recent thesaurus, still, the accuracy of information retrieval has not solved. This study constructed record retrieval system based on Topic Map by modeling record resources which focusing on description metadata of the records to improve this problem. The target user of the system is general web users and its range is limited to the president related sources in the National Archives Portal Service. The procedure is as follows; 1) Design an ontology model for archival information service based on topic map which focusing on description metadata of the records. 2) Buildpractical record retrieval system with topic map that received information source list, which extracted from the National Archives Portal Service, by editor. 3) Check and assess features of record retrieval system based on topic map through user interface. Through the practice, relevance navigation to other record sources by semantic inference of description metadata is confirmed. And also, records could be built up as knowledge with result of scattered archival sources.

With the purpose of enriching existing catalogues with FRBR, which is the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, in mind, this paper aims to evaluate the impact of bibliographic ontology on the overall system's performance in the field of literature. In doing this, OCLC's FictionFinder(http://fictionfinder.oclc.org) was selected and qualitatively evaluated. In this study 40 university seniors evaluated the following three aspects using the 'transferring thoughts onto paper method': 1) In which ways is this FRBR-aware bibliographical ontology helpful? 2) Are the things which are initially attempted to be helped being helped? 3) Would users seeking one work in particular also see all other related works? In conclusion, this study revealed that, as Cutter claimed in his $2^{nd}$ rule of the library, collocations give added-value to the users and overall ontology provides better interface and usefulness. It also revealed that a system's evaluation with qualitative methodology helped to build full pictures of the system and to grip the information needs of the users when the system is developed. Qualitative evaluations, therefore, could be used as indicators for the evaluation of any information retrieval systems.

Nurses have performed their nursing practice according to the standard guidelines such as NANDA, NIC, and NOC, and recorded the information on nursing process into EMR system. In particular, NANDA, nursing diagnosis taxonomy, has difficulty expressing nursing diagnosis in detail because it represents abstract concepts of nursing diagnosis. So, the hospitals in KOREA have developed and used the list of nursing diagnosis on their own without referring the international standard terminologies, and it caused the delay of computerization of nursing records. Therefore, we proposed a ontology development methodology on nursing diagnosis based on NANDA and SNOMED-CT. The developed ontology, systematically developed with the frequently used nursing diagnosis terminologies in each hospital, based on the proposed methodology enables knowledge expansion and interoperable exchange of nursing records between EMR systems. We developed an ontology using the 112 nursing diagnosis terms defined by extracting and refining information on nursing diagnosis recorded in Kyungpook National University Hospital. We also confirmed the content validity and the usefulness of the developed ontology through expert assessment and experiment.
