  • Objectives: Several domestic search systems for research projects providing capabilities of searching and managing the research information based on metadata have been completed, although they cannot search projects for specific domains such as the Oriental Medicine field. Therefore, in this paper we propose an effective method for collecting and refining information of research projects in the oriental medicine field. We also design and implement a search management system based on the collected information. Methods: We chose three search elements and defined the collecting process for research projects. The collected information was refined to enhance the quality of results. Then, the search management system was implemented by Adobe Flex. Results: We were able to collect 1,688 research projects in the oriental medicine field. We also implemented the search management system, which provides the functionalities of search and management such as input, update, delete, spreadsheet import/export of R&D projects, user management and access control. Conclusions: The collected information and the search management system will be used in a project analysis system which will be constructed in the future. The project analysis system could help to analyze trends in oriental medicine research as well as construct a technical roadmap.

  • This study is to investigate the user behavior of defense development and test researchers working for A research institute to provide advanced library services. Based on the prior studies about the subject, survey through questionnaires were conducted, and the data analyzed using SPSS 12.0. Results of the analyses are as follows: The researchers generally gathered information 2 to 3 times per month. The major reason for information gathering was to solve problems and do their tasks. They considered accuracy of information as the most important factor when they gather information. Finding and selecting information sources were the most difficult task for them in retrieving, acquiring and using information. They have most frequently used digital materials (67%), printed materials next (26%), and non-book materials (6%).

  • The increasing interest in leisure activities of a five-day work per week has been recently prevailed. Additionally, as internet and mobile infrastructures have been becoming widespread, the user can get specific information using a search engine. However, it is difficult for the user to get accurate information they really want as shared information has been rapidly increased and the information has been searched. For example, users can retrieve required travel information, but they also must see a huge number of travel advertisements. In this paper, we design and implement a retrieval system using travel information collecting agent. The information gathering agent regularly visits travel-related category pages of the portal sites and major media travel-article pages to collect information related to travel, and the agent stores the gathered information to a database. Then, users can search the travel information conveniently without the need to view advertisements.

It contained the best knowledge of the time and considered as the most precious book for two hundred years, but nowadays it is looked away in its value and use. We could prescribe the historical significance this classic medical book has and furthermore, embody the basic knowledge necessary for constructing database by studing compilation and editions. This is the significance the classic "DoSeoJipSeong" has and the significance of the digital EuiBooJipSeong which will be newly shown as a digital knowledge information system.
