기존의 웹 서비스가 수동적이고, 단방향 통신을 축으로 뒀다면 현재의 웹 서비스는 점차 능동적이고 변화되었으며, 양방향 통신 환경을 지향하게 되었다. 이러한 웹 서비스 변화의 흐름을 일컬어 웹 2.0이라 한다. 웹 2.0 세대를 살아가는 사용자들은 기존과 다른 다양한 정보의 홍수에 노출되게 되었다. 이들은 일방적이고, 제한적인 정보를 얻는 기존 환경에서 탈피, 스스로 가치 있는 정보를 생산해 내기 시작했고, 이렇게 생산된 정보는 인터넷을 통해 다른 사용자와 교류하며 더욱 가치 있는 정보를 창출해 나가고 있다. 이런 발전 과정에서 지속적으로 더욱 더 커져가는 정보를 더 빠르고 정확하게 공유하는 기술이 필요하게 되었고, 현재 이런 필요성을 충족시키는데 유용한 기술의 한 갈래로 나온 것이 태그와 시맨틱 웹으로 대표되는 온톨로지 이다. 태그는 정보의 주제나 표제를 나타내는 단어를 해당 컨텐츠 정보를 제공하는 사이트에서 정보 분류 단위로 사용, 이를 통한 더 빠른 정보 공유를 할 수 있게 되었다. 시맨틱 웹은 현재의 인터넷과 같은 다양한 리소스에 대한 정보와 자원 사이의 관계-의미 정보를 기계(컴퓨터)가 처리할 수 있는 온톨로지 형태로 표현하고, 이를 자동화된 기계(컴퓨터)가 처리하도록 하는 기술이다. 이 논문에서는 웹 2.0의 대표기술이라 할 수 있는 온톨로지 기법을 이용, 기존 태그의 정보 분류 효율을 높이기 위한 태그와 태그의 의미관계 형성을 제안하였다.

As the semantic web receives higher concern with an intensified necessity in these days, the research on the ontology as its core technology has been carried out in various fields. The ontology has been adopted as an alternative to work out lots of problematic issues resulted from the insufficient vocabulary selection rules in folksonomy, widely accepted under Web 2.0. Therefore the importance of research to complementarily consolidate the two disciplines, the folksonomy and the ontology, has been increased. Based on this idea this research proposes a system, which pulls out, using open services, the location information tags from folksonomy-based metadata, ultimately extracts, following location information analyses, spatial relationships among tags, and in turn automatically constructs self-correcting location information domain ontology. The system devised in this study will associate data derived from easily accessible folksonomy with meaningful and technological information from ontology.

In this research, a proposed Dynamic Virtual Ontology using Tags (DyVOT) supports dynamic search of resources depending on user's requirements using tags from social web driven resources. It is general that the tags are defined by annotations of a series of described words by social users who usually tags social information resources such as web-page, images, u-tube, videos, etc. Therefore, tags are characterized and mirrored by information resources. Therefore, it is possible for tags as meta-data to match into some resources. Consequently, we can extract semantic relationships between tags owing to the dependency of relationships between tags as representatives of resources. However, to do this, there is limitation because there are allophonic synonym and homonym among tags that are usually marked by a series of words. Thus, research related to folksonomies using tags have been applied to classification of words by semantic-based allophonic synonym. In addition, some research are focusing on clustering and/or classification of resources by semantic-based relationships among tags. In spite of, there also is limitation of these research because these are focusing on semantic-based hyper/hypo relationships or clustering among tags without consideration of conceptual associative relationships between classified or clustered groups. It makes difficulty to effective searching resources depending on user requirements. In this research, the proposed DyVOT uses tags and constructs ontologyfor effective search. We assumed that tags are extracted from user requirements, which are used to construct multi sub-ontology as combinations of tags that are composed of a part of the tags or all. In addition, the proposed DyVOT constructs ontology which is based on hierarchical and associative relationships among tags for effective search of a solution. The ontology is composed of static- and dynamic-ontology. The static-ontology defines semantic-based hierarchical hyper/hypo relationships among tags as in (http://semanticcloud.sandra-siegel.de/) with a tree structure. From the static-ontology, the DyVOT extracts multi sub-ontology using multi sub-tag which are constructed by parts of tags. Finally, sub-ontology are constructed by hierarchy paths which contain the sub-tag. To create dynamic-ontology by the proposed DyVOT, it is necessary to define associative relationships among multi sub-ontology that are extracted from hierarchical relationships of static-ontology. The associative relationship is defined by shared resources between tags which are linked by multi sub-ontology. The association is measured by the degree of shared resources that are allocated into the tags of sub-ontology. If the value of association is larger than threshold value, then associative relationship among tags is newly created. The associative relationships are used to merge and construct new hierarchy the multi sub-ontology. To construct dynamic-ontology, it is essential to defined new class which is linked by two more sub-ontology, which is generated by merged tags which are highly associative by proving using shared resources. Thereby, the class is applied to generate new hierarchy with extracted multi sub-ontology to create a dynamic-ontology. The new class is settle down on the ontology. So, the newly created class needs to be belong to the dynamic-ontology. So, the class used to new hyper/hypo hierarchy relationship between the class and tags which are linked to multi sub-ontology. At last, DyVOT is developed by newly defined associative relationships which are extracted from hierarchical relationships among tags. Resources are matched into the DyVOT which narrows down search boundary and shrinks the search paths. Finally, we can create the DyVOT using the newly defined associative relationships. While static data catalog (Dean and Ghemawat, 2004; 2008) statically searches resources depending on user requirements, the proposed DyVOT dynamically searches resources using multi sub-ontology by parallel processing. In this light, the DyVOT supports improvement of correctness and agility of search and decreasing of search effort by reduction of search path.

This paper introduces techniques to recommend standardized tags using tag ontology. Tag recommendation consists of TWCIDF and TWCITC; the former technique automatically tags a large quantity of already existing document groups, and the latter recommends tagging for new documents. Tag groups are created through several processes, including preprocessing, standardization using tag ontology, automatic tagging and defining ranks for recommendation. In the preprocessing process, in order to search semantic compound nouns, words are combined to establish basic word groups. In the standardization process, typographical errors and similar words are processed. As a result of experiments conducted on the basis of techniques presented in this paper, it is proved that real-time automatic tagging and tag recommendation is possible while guaranteeing the accuracy of tag recommendation.

현재의 웹 환경에서의 정보는 점점 대량화되고 있으며, 정보에 대한 의미처리가 지원되지 않는 까닭에 많은 양의 정보가 무분별하게 검색되고 필요한 정보를 찾는데 많은 노력이 필요하다. 이를 해결하고자 XML의 의미태그를 중심으로 한 메타데이터 정보 모델링 등이 출현하였고, 이를 개념 수준의 의미처리로 추상화한 온톨로지(ontology) 기술이 개발되게 되었다. 온톨로지는 컴퓨터가 처리할 수 있는 명시적인 개념 표현을 상호 공유할 수 있도록 하여 줌으로써, 컴퓨터가 의미를 이해하고 추론할 수 있는 기반을 제공한다. 최근에는 여러 온톨로지 언어는 기술 논리(Description Logic)의 의미 모델에 기반을 두고 있는 OWL언어로 표준화되고 있다. 그러나, 온톨로지 언어를 사용한 직접적인 온톨로지 구축은 거의 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 지식 표현의 기초가 되고 OWL의 이론적 기반이 되고 있는 프레임 구조로 개념 모델링 하는 방법을 통해 OWL기반의 온톨로지 구축을 보다 편리하고 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제공하며, 효율적인 OWL 문서의 생성과 편집 방안을 도출한다.

In this paper, we propose a music recommendation method considering users' tags by collaborative tagging in a social music site. Since collaborative tagging allows a user to add keywords chosen by himself to web resources, it provides users' preference about the web resources concretely. In particular, emotional tags which represent human's emotion contain users' musical preference more directly than factual tags which represent facts such as musical genre and artists. Therefore, to classify the tags into the emotional tags and the factual tags and to assign weighted values to the emotional tags, a tag ontology called UniTag is developed. After preprocessing the tags, the weighted tags are used to create user profiles, and the music recommendation algorithm is executed based on the profiles. To evaluate the proposed method, a conventional playcount-based recommendation, an unweighted tag-based recommendation, and an weighted tag-based recommendation are executed. Our experimental results show that the weighted tag-based recommendation outperforms other two approaches in terms of precision.

As recently XML is becoming the standard of exchanging web documents and public documentations, XML data are increasing in many areas. To retrieve the information about XML documents efficiently, the semantic web based on the ontology is appearing. The existing ontology has been constructed manually and it was time and cost consuming. Therefore in this paper, we propose the semi-automatic ontology generation technique using the data mining technique, the association rules. The proposed method solves what type and how many conceptual relationships and determines the ontology domain level for the automatic ontology generation, using the data mining algorithm. Appying the association rules to the XML documents, we intend to find out the conceptual relationships to construct the ontology, finding the frequent patterns of XML tags in the XML documents. Using the conceptual ontology domain level extracted from the data mining, we implemented the semantic web based on the ontology by XML Topic Maps (XTM) and the topic map engine, TM4J.

Social Web is turning current Web into social platform for knowing people and sharing information. This paper takes major social tagging systems as examples, namely delicious, flickr and youtube, to analyze the social phenomena in the Social Web in order to identify the way of mediating and linking social data. A simple Tag Ontology (TO) is proposed to integrate different social tagging data and mediate and link with other related social metadata. Through several machine learning for tagging data, tag groups and similar user groups are extracted, and then used to learn the tagging ontology. A recommender system adopting the tag ontology is also suggested as an applying field.

Metadata and folksonomy are two main approaches in representing, organizing, and retrieving resources in the current information environment. Many researches have conducted studies to combine of metadata and folksonomy in order to utilize the strengths of both approaches. This research proposed an approach to utilize both metadata and folksonomy in representing resources by using microcontents. Microcontents in this research is a conceptual structure that reflects dynamic characteristics of folksonomy and the structure of metadata. By connecting folksonomy with metadata through this microcontents structure, both approaches can maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses in representing, organizing, and retrieving resources.
