When using IFC data consisting of STEP schema based on the EXPRESS language, it is not easy for collaborating project stakeholders to share BIM modeling shape information. The IFC viewer application must be installed on the desktop PC to review the BIM modeling shape information defined within the IFC, because the IFC viewer application not only parse STEP structure information model but also process the 3D feature construction for a 3D visualization. Therefore, we propose a lightweight data structure design for web visualization by parsing IFC data and constructing 3D modeling data. Our experimental results show the weight reduction of IFC data is about 40% of original file size and the web visualization is able to see the same quality with all web browsers which support WebGL on PCs and smartphones. If applied research is conducted about the web visualization based on IFC data of the last construction phase, it could be utilized in various fields ranging from the facility maintenance to indoor location-based services.

We propose an extremely light DDXMI approach for semi-automated integration of both structurally and semantically heterogeneous distributed XML documents. In the proposed prototype, a DDXMI(Distributed Documents XML Metadata Interface) is defined and a user interface generator is developed. The prototype takes sources' DTDs as inputs and generates a friendly graphical user interface for the application users. The user can easily describe the semantic mapping between the integrated virtual database DTD and sources' DTDs through assigning index numbers and specifying associated function names so that the DDXMI based on the mappings is automatically generated. Quilt is selected as the XML query language which processes user queries according to the DDXMI. It is assumed that the application users know what they want from the different sources, that is, they have their own integrated database schema in their mind, and know the semantics of the involved XML databases. A small-size global DTD and a mid-size global DTB are generated to verify the rluery generation and retrieval results with 3 XML document databases, that is, Master/ph.D thesis, research reports, and journal databases. The system has been developed with JavaCC and Java Servelet.

IMO adopt the revision of SOLAS convention on requirement systems for ECDIS and considered an ECDIS as the major system for E-Navigation strategy on marine transportation safety and environment protection. ENC(Electronic Navigational Chart) as the base map of ECDIS is considered as a principal information infrastructure that is essential for navigation tasks. Because ENCs are not easy to utilize for being encoded according to ISO/IEC 8211 file format, used for navigational purpose mainly, it's required to utilize in parts of Marine GIS and various marine application. In this paper, we developed KML conversion technology for ENC application. In details, we analyzed data model and encoding method of ENC, schema structure and data file of KML. Based on this results, we developed the program of KML conversion of ENCs.

For using the knowledge of experts diversely and efficiently, it is very important that the system could represent the complex knowledge in well structured manner and also adapt well to the frequent schema changes. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for knowledge base management by using XML based templates. In our proposed method, to solve the inefficiency of management of many XML documents, we represent the complex knowledge on XML-based templates, and manage the templates structurally by using a meta-template that defines relationship among the templates. In order to show the effectiveness of our method, we developed a knowledge base to formulate an exercise prescription for a subject and an application program to classify the subject's fitness. The experimental study shows that XML-based templates provide a flexible, extensible and structured way of representing expert knowledge. The inference using XML-based templates can be controlled systematically and efficiently by using meta-template.

In this paper, we suggest a cache mechanism to improve the speed fo query processing in distributed directory environment. For this, request and result and result about objects in remote site are store in the cache of local site. A cache mechanism developed through six phases; 1) Cached information which stored in distributed directory system is classified as application data, system data and meta data. 2) Cache system architecture is designed according to classified information. 3) Cache schema are designed for each cache information. 4) Least-TTL algorithms which use the weighted value of geograpical information and access frquency for replacements are developed for datacaches(application cache, system cache). 5) Operational algorithms are developed for meta data cache which has meta data tree. This tree is based on the information of past queries and improves the speed ofquery processing by reducing the scope of search space. 6) Finally, performance evaluations are performed by comparing with proposed cache mechanism and other mechanisms.

The health and medical service attracts more public attention as the economy of Korea is rapidly growing up and the standard of living is elevated. Especially, the interest and demand on the prehospital emergency medical service that consists of the important part of primary medical service that is directly related to the life of patients are gradually increased. However, as compared with other advanced countries such as America in this area, Korea actually fell behind in the utilization of IT (Information Technology) to maximize the efficiency of emergency service system as well as has a problem in the general service system. This study suggested the necessity to introduce EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch) system that takes a great role as the core part in the prehospital emergency medical service that is not systemized in Korea yet. In addition, this study proposed the implementation model of EMD ASP system using ASP (Application Service Provider) in EMD system to flexibly deal with the change of IT and efficient implementation and integration of information system as well as to significantly reduce cost through wire/wireless high speed Internet network that is politically promoted in Korea on the basis of EMD. The system analysis and design was executed by HIPO (Hierarchy Plus Input Process Output) analysis that was the conceptual design technology for EMD information system modeling based on ASP and DFD (Data Flow Diagram). This study proposed DB table configuration and data schema to implement the application of web browser interface in EMD system through ERD(ER-Diagram) of EMD ASP system. Finally, this study described how to implement and utilize EMD information system. This study aims to facilitate the qualitative development of emergency medical service in the future as suggesting the concrete models for the implementation of high value-added prehospital emergency medical information system as applying ASP concept to EMD system of prehospital emergency medical service area.

Virtual manufacturing is a technology facilitating effective development and agile manufacturing of products via sophisticated computer models representing physical and logical schema and behavior of real manufacturing systems including manufacturing resources, environments, and products. For the successful application of this technology, a virtual plant as a well-designed and integrated environment is essential fur sharing information and engineering collaboration among diverse engineering activities. The systematic approaches and effective methods for construction and application of a virtual plant are proposed in this paper, such as a 3-D CAD modeling, cell and line simulations, databases and some information technologies. Measuring and 3-D CAD modeling technologies of many equipments, facilities and structures of the building are developed, and effective information management system managing CAD models, related files and data is implemented in WWW environments. Finally, precise simulations of unit cell lines and the whole plant are performed. For the beginning of implementing a Virtual Automotive Plant, the Virtual Plant fur the Body Shop of a Korean automotive company is constructed and implemented. We could obtain the benefit of savings in time and cost in many manufacturing preparation activities in the new car development processes.

The currently and most widely used client/server architecture is composed of database servers and clients that include both application and presentation logic. To date, due to the rapid growth in WWW, these client/server applications are implemented using Java language, especially in GUI design at client sides and client/server applications development using JDBC. To develop the applications using JDBC, developers should design database schema, code source code for JDBC connection, design report forms to display selected columns from server-side database. In this paper, we propose a development environment based on JavaBeans component for client/server applications development using JDBC. The proposed environment minimizes manual coding and enables developers to develop client/server applications easily with the designed JavaBeans components and their custom property editor.

Geographic Information System(CIS) deal with data which can potentially be useful for a wide range of applications. The information needed by each application can be vary, specially in resolution, detail level, application view, and representation style, as defined in the modeling phase of the geographic database design. To be able to deal with such diverse needs, GIS must offer features that allow multiple representation for each geographic entity of phenomenon. This paper addresses on the problem of formal definition of the objects and their relationships on the geographical information systems. The geographical data is divided into two main classes : geo-objects and geo-fields, which describe discrete and continuous representations of spatial reality. I studied the attributes and the relationship roles over geo-object and nongeo-object. Therefore, this paper contributed on the efficient design of geographical class hierarchy schema by means of formalizing attribute-domains of classes.

RDF Semantics, one of W3C Recommendations, provides the RDFS entailment rules, which are used for the RDFS inference. Sesame, which is well known RDF repository, supports the RDBMS-based RDFS inference using the forward-chaining strategy. Since inferencing in the forward-chaining strategy is performed in the data loading time, the data loading time in Sesame is slow down be inferencing. In this paper, we propose the order scheme for applying the RDFS entailment rules to improve inference performance. The proposed application order makes the inference process terminate without repetition of the process for most cases and guarantees the completeness of inference result. Also the application order helps to reduce redundant results during the inference by predicting the results which were made already by previously applied rules. In this paper, we show that our approaches can improve the inference performance with comparisons to the original Sesame using several real-life RDF datasets.
