This study describes the Bottom-up method for implementation of an ontology system from the RDB. The STNet, a structured terminology glossary based on RDB, was served as a test bed for converting to RDF ontology, for generating the inference rules, and for evaluating the results of the semantic search. We have used protege editor of the ontology developing tool to design ontologies with test data. We also tested the designed ontology with the Inference Engine (Pellet) of protege editor. The generated reference rules were tested by TBox and SPARQL queries through STNet ontology. The results of test show that the generated reference rules were verified as true and STNet ontology were also evaluated to be useful for searching the complex combination of semantic relation.

This research proposes a concept of multi-aspect Social IoT platform that enables human, machine and service to communicate smoothly among them, as well as a means of an automatic process for transforming exiting domain knowledge representation to generic ontology representation used in the platform. Current research focuses on building a machine-based service interoperability using sensor ontology and device ontology. However, to the best of our knowledge, the research on building a semantic model reflecting multi-aspects among human, machine, and service seems to be very insufficient. Therefor, in the research we first build a multi-aspect ontology schema to transform the representation used in each domain as a part of IoT into ontology-based representation, and then develop an automatic process of generating multi-aspect IoT ontology from the domain knowledge based on the schema.

In response to an increased need, various methods for ontology modularization have been proposed. However, few studies have focused on evaluative methods for ontology modules. In this study, we devise novel metrics to measure ontology modularity. To evaluate the ontology modules, we introduce cohesion and coupling based on the theory of software metrics. A cohesion metric and two coupling metrics were used to measure cohesion and coupling for ontology modules. These metrics were also used to check consistency between the ontology modules and the original ontology. The new metrics support a more detailed relationship between classes in ontology modules. We validate the proposed metrics using the well known verification framework and perform the empirical experiments to complement previous investigations. This study offers ontology engineers valuable criteria with which to select and use ontology modules and modularization techniques.

Ontology construction has need of many time and cost. This is why it is difficult to build a commercial semantic web. To solve the problem, we must automatically construct ontology. In this paper, we propose an automatic ontology generation system from web documents containing important informations of the web. The proposed system has two steps. One is simplification process which generates simple sentences from all sentences in the documents. Another is ontology generation process with transfer rules. Our system is very useful fur application domains in which many documents are updated or inserted frequently such as online shopping malls.

As the internet continues to grow, the quantity of information on the Web increases beyond measure. The internet users' abilities and requirements to use information also become varied and complicated. Ontology can describe correct meaning of web resource and relationships between web resources. And it can extract conformable information that a user wants. Accordingly, we need the ontology to represent knowledge. W3C announced OWL(Web Ontology Language), a meaning description technology for such web resources. But, the development of a professional use of tools that can compose and edit effectively is not yet developed adequately. In this paper, we design and implement an Ontology editor which generates and edits OWL documents through intuitional interface, with a OWL parser, a Internal DataModel, and a Serializer.

이 논문에서는 메타데이터 레지스트리 (MDR, Metadata Registry) 기반의 웹 온톨로지 생성모델을 제안한다. 메타데이터 레지스트리는 국제 표준(ISO/IEC 11179)으로서 데이터베이스간 상호운용성 향상을 위해 개발되었다. 그러나 데이터 표현과 상호운용성을 위한 컴퓨팅 환경의 변화는 메타데이터 레지스트리의 확장은 물론 메타데이터 레지스트리의 활용 방법의 변화를 요구한다. 이 논문에서의 웹 환경의 변화란 정적인 웹 환경에서 웹 2.0 혹은 시맨틱 웹 이라고 정의하는 차세대 웹 환경으로의 변화를 의미한다. 이러한 환경을 위해서 다양한 기술 개발과 적용 기법에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 특히 차세대 웹을 위해서는 지원에 대한 명확한 의미 정의 및 활용이 요구된다. 이는 웹 온톨로지 스키마를 구성하는 개념들에 대한 보다 일관성 있는 정의 및 사용이 필요하다. 이러한 문제가 해결되지 않을 경우, 또 다시 온톨로지를 구성하는 개념들 간 이질성 문제를 야기한다. 메타데이터 레지스트리는 다양한 표준화 된 개념들을 포함하며, 응용을 위한 데이터를 위한 의미 또한 이 개념들을 이용하여 정의한다. 따라서 이러한 표준 요소를 이용한 웹 온톨로지 스키마 정의 및 활용이 요구되며, 이 논문에서 이와 관련된 기본 개념, 요구 사항을 장의하고 전체적인 모델을 제안한다.

Teaching is communication between instructor and students. The learning outcomes can be enhanced by active learning of students. However, there are many obstacles to effective learning below, such as lecture notes authored by instructor, passive student participation, and paper-based homework. In this paper, we propose an effective method for enhancing learning effect through constructing learner ontologies in which knowledge discovered by students is conceptualized and organized. The learning ontology is composed of a teacher ontology and many learner ontologies. The learning ontology is used in discussion, visual presentation, and knowledge sharing between instructor and students. We used the learning ontology in two lectures in practice and learned that the learning ontology enhances learning effect through analysis of feedbacks of students.

This study constructed an ontology targeting journal articles and evaluated its performance. Also, the performance of a triple structure ontology was compared with the knowledge base of an inverted index file designed for a simple keyword search engine. The coverage was three years of articles published in the Journal of the Korean Society for Information Management from 2007 to 2009. Protege was used to construct an ontology, whilst utilizing an inverted index file to compare performance. The concept ontology was manually established, and the bibliography ontology was automatically constructed to produce an OWL concept ontology and an OWL bibliography ontology, respectively. This study compared the performance of the knowledge base of the ontology, using the Jena search engine with the performance of an inverted index file using the Lucene search engine. As a result, The Lucene showed higher precision rate, but Jena showed higher recall rate.

The purpose of this study is to design and implement an ontology-based retrieval system for the electronic records of universities and to compare its performance with the existing keyword-based retrieval system. We used OntoStudio 1.4 for implementing an ontology-based retrieval system, and the test collection consisted of the following: (1) 5,099 electronic records of the 'personnel management notification' created by Korea Maritime University, (2) 20 topics (10 short-topics and 10 long-topics), and (3) the relevant assessments were conducted by the group of human experts. 10 university staff participated in the experiment of keyword-based searching and used the same test collection as used in the experiment of ontology-based searching. The ontology-based retrieval system outperformed to the keyword-based retrieval system in terms of Recall and Precision, and the same results showed in the test of the short-topics and long-topics comparison.

Although RDF ontologies might be expressed in XML tree model, existing methods for protection of XML documents are not suitable for securing RDF ontologies. The graph style and inference feature of RDF demands a new security model development. Driven by this goal, this paper proposes a new query-oriented model for the RDF ontology access control. The proposed model rewrites a user query using a three-layered ontology view. The proposal resolves the problem that the existing approaches should generate inference models depending on inference rules. Accessible ontology concepts and instances which a user can visit are defined as ontology views, and the inference view defined for controling an inference query enables a controlled inference capability for the user. This paper defines the three-layered view and describes algorithms for query rewriting according to the views. An implemented prototype with its system architecture is shown. Finally, the experiment and comparative evaluation result of the proposal and the previous approach is described.
