Much research on semantic geographic information systems that incorporating the Semantic Web and geographic information has been actively studied. However, the existing geographic information systems have a system dependency problem that users can input and retrieve non-spatial information only in a specific system. It also causes difficulty in providing rich services. Therefore, this paper proposes an implementation model for population of Geo-ontology from non-structured Web resources. The proposed model can populate instances for Web ontology independently of systems, and thus it enables a richer Web service development. Finally, this paper shows the prototype that populates instances including a Geo-ontology building example for a University selected as an application domain.

This paper describes a GIS framework for geo-semantic information retrieval in mobile computing environments. We built geographic ontologies of POI (point of interest) and weather information for use in the combination of semantic, spatial, and temporal functions in a fully integrated database. We also implemented a geo-semantic app for Android-based smartphones that can extract more appropriate POIs in terms of user contexts and geographic ontologies and can visualize the POIs using Google Maps API (application programming interface). The feasibility tests showed our geo-semantic app can provide pertinent POI information according to mobile user contexts such as location, time, schedule, and weather. We can discover a baking CVS (convenience store) in the test of bakery search and can find out a drive-in theater for a not rainy day, which are good examples of the geo-semantic query using semantic, spatial, and temporal functions. As future work, we should need ontology-based inference systems and the LOD (linked open data) of various ontologies for more advanced sharing of geographic knowledge.

During recent years, there has been exponential growth in biological information. With the emergence of large datasets in biology, life scientists are encountering bottlenecks in handling the biological data. This study presents an integrated geographic information system (GIS)-ontology application for handling microbial genome data. The application uses a linear referencing technique as one of the GIS functionalities to represent genes as linear events on the genome layer, where users can define/change the attributes of genes in an event table and interactively see the gene events on a genome layer. Our application adopted ontology to portray and store genomic data in a semantic framework, which facilitates data-sharing among biology domains, applications, and experts. The application was developed in two steps. In the first step, the genome annotated data were prepared and stored in a MySQL database. The second step involved the connection of the database to both ArcGIS and $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ as the GIS engine and ontology platform, respectively. We have designed this application specifically to manage the genome-annotated data of rumen microbial populations. Such a GIS-ontology application offers powerful capabilities for visualizing, managing, reusing, sharing, and querying genome-related data.

In order to implement ontology data searching system, this paper uses some methods that effectively analyse searching options/key words with event process model and design pattern. I will propose some techniques on object-oriented process model that should improve reusability of system and reusability of ontology data which users can obtain more precise searching results. This paper shows that ontology-based data searching can assure users of the precision of searching results. Therefore, ontology-based data searching system on object-oriented design pattern is expected to show high stability and reliability, enhance reusability and scalability of modules and softwares and provide reliable data searching results to users.

위치기반서비스(LBS)는 사용자의 위치를 기반으로 다양한 정보제공 서비스를 하고 있다. 최근 연구에서는 단순한 정보제공이 아닌 사용자의 상황인식(Context-Aware)을 통하여 사용자에게 적합한 정보를 제공해주는 지능화된 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 현재 연구들은 사용자의 기본정보와 선호도정보를 이용한 단일기준 추론을 통하여 사용자에게 정보를 제공해주고 있으며, 이것은 사용자의 다양한 기준의 의사결정을 반영하지 못하는 한계점이 있다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 사용자의 정보, 선호도, 공간지리선호도 정보 Ontology를 구축하고, 의사 결정 기준에 가중치를 부여하는 Cost Value Ontology를 구축하여, 다 기준 의사추론을 통해 사용자에게 적절한 추천 결과가 도출되는 Ontology 추론시스템을 제안한다. 사용자들의 개인적인 특성 지식과 공간지리 선호도 지식을 구축할 수 있으며, 이러한 특성으로 구축된 지식 기반 하에 입력된 사용자 정보와 추론을 통하여 이 시스템을 통해 사용자의 선호도 Ontology를 구축할 수 있으며 이를 이용한 추론을 통하여 사용자의 현재상황에 적합한 결과를 도출함을 보였다.

With development of the earth's subsurface space, the need for a reliable subsurface spatial model such as a cross-section, boring log is increasing. However, the ground mass was essentially uncertain. To generate model was uncertain because of the shortage of data and the absence of geotechnical interpretation standard(non-statistical uncertainty) as well as field environment variables(statistical uncertainty). Therefore, the current interpretation of the data and the generation of the model were accomplished by a highly trained experts. In this study, a geotechnical ontology model was developed using the current expert experience and knowledge, and the information content was calculated in the ontology hierarchy. After the relative distance between the information contents in the ontology model was combined with the distance between cluster centers, a cluster analysis that considered the geotechnical semantics was performed. In a comparative test of the proposed method, k-means method, and expert's interpretation, the proposed method is most similar to expert's interpretation, and can be 3D-GIS visualization through easily handling massive data. We expect that the proposed method is able to generate the more reasonable subsurface spatial information model without geotechnical experts' help.

위치 기반 서비스(LBS)는 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous) 시대에 필요한 핵심 엔진으로 그 중요성이 논의되어 왔다. LBS 시스템은 GPS 뿐만 아니라 휴대폰을 통한 고속 인터넷 접속을 사용하여 사용자의 위치 추적과 같은 기술이 현재 서비스된다. 그러나 소프트웨어 측면에서 대부분의 위치 기반 서비스는 서비스 제공자 위주의 일부 특정 상황을 가정한 서비스 모델 또는 사전에 정의된 일정 지역과 한정된 상황에서의 상황 인식(Context Aware) 서비스 제공이 대부분이다. 그러나 이러한 방법론들은 현실 적용이 어려운 문제점이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 사용자들의 상환인식을 통하여 사용자의 특성 지식과 공간지리 선호도 지식 정보 추론을 통한 Geo-Ontology통합시스템을 제시한다. 본 연구에서는 Geo-Ontology통합시스템 중에서 사용자의 상황인지기반 LBS시스템을 제시한다. 사용자들의 개인적인 특성 지식과 공간지리 선호도 지식을 구축할 수 있으며, 이러한 특성으로 구축된 지식 기반 하에 입력된 사용자 정보와 추론을 통하여 사용자의 현재 상황에 대한 가장 적절한 추천 결과가 도출되는 프로토타입 시스템을 제공 할 수 있음을 보였다.

Nowadays, the navigation system is very popular to general public and the study of landmarks has an important role to develop the cognitive systems for regional navigation. The city image is composed of landmarks that are well-known to regional community and they are the reference frame for place recognition in urban navigation. In general, the case of navigation can be categorized as two kinds. The first is to explore the new region and the second is to navigate the familiar region. In case of latter, the city image has a critical role in place recognition for regional community. Place recognition of a community might be a knowledge-based inference on the basis of city image which is composed of the systematically connected places. In this study, the mental structure of urban image is regarded as a hierarchical knowledge and represents it as domain ontology for the regional navigation of a community. The city image of a community is assumed as the collection of landmarks, which are categorized as anchor, distant and local according to spatial familiarity of community. Representing city image as a regional knowledge using ontology modeling method is an essential step to make the geographical assumption of a regional community explicit and reusable for the regional agents who will provide the regional guide in LBS age.
