This study suggests a query conversion method based on Topic Maps MetaData Registry(TMDR) in order to solve heterogeneity problems distributed in networks and to integrate data efficiently. In order to integrate distributed data, TMDR provides global schema and it solves heterogeneity problem within local data using query conversion method. After analyzing relationship between Meta Schema Ontology(MSO) of eXtended Meta Data Registry(XMDR) and Topic Maps, this method allows integrated access through Meta Location(ML) which manages accessing information of local data. The processing method is to produce a global query for global processing by using TMDR and then to make the produced global query approach to systems distributed through networks so that allows integrated access at the end. For this, we propose a method to convert a global query into a query which is adaptive to local query.

Query language has been widely used as a convenient tool to obtain information from a database. However, users demand more intelligent query processing systems that can understand the intent of an imprecise query and provide additional useful information as well as exact answers. This paper introduces a meta-database and presents a query processing mechanism that supports a variety of intelligent queries in a consistent and integrated way. The meta-database extracts data abstraction knowledge from an underlying database on the basis of a multilevel knowledge representation framework KAH. In cooperation with the underlying database, the meta-database supports four types of intelligent queries that provide approximately or conceptually equal answers as well as exact ones.

In this paper, we propose an intelligent e-commerce meta-search engine which integrates distributed e-commerce sites and provides a unified search to the sites. The meta-search engine performs the following functions: (1) the user is able to create a category-based user query, (2) by using the WordNet, the query is semantically refined for increasing search accuracy, and (3) the meta-search engine recommends an e-commerce site which has the closest product information to the user’s search intention by matching the user query with the product catalogs in the e-commerce sites linked to the meta-search engine. An experiment shows that the performance of our model is better than that of general keyword-based search.

In this paper, we propose a meta-search engine which provides distributed product information through a unified access to multiple e-commerce. The meta-search engine proposed in this paper performs the following functions: (I) The user is able to create a category-based user query, (2) by using the WordNet, the query is semantical refined fined for increasing search accuracy, and (3) the meta-search engine recommends an e-commerce site which has the closest product information to the user's search intention, by matching the user query with the product catalogs in the e-commerce sites linked to the meta-search engine. An experiment shows that the performance of our model is better than that of general keyword-based search.

In this paper, a cache mechanism is proposed to improve the speed of query processing in distributed director database systems. To decrease search time of requested objects and query processing time. query requests and results about objects in a remote site are stored in the cache of a local site. Cache system architecture is designed according to the classified information. Cache schema are designed for each cache information. Operational algorithms are developed for meta data cache which has meta data tree. This tree improves the speed of query processing by reducing the scope of search space. Finally, performance evaluation is performed by comparing the proposed cache mechanism with X500.

In this paper, a multimedia database retrieval system is proposed using MPEG-7 meta data. Multimedia content based retrieval system is implemented with the MPEG-7 meta data extraction and matching technique. MPEG-7 descriptors and descriptor schemes are stored into the database with other meta data. When a query image is given, the descriptors and descriptor schemes of the query image are extracted and compared with the descriptors and descriptor schemes in the database. Finally, images having more similarity are retrieved.

Today, documents existing on internet by the development of communication network increase in number. And it is required the information retrieval system that can efficiently acquire the necessary information. Most information retrieval systems retrieve documents using a simple keyword or a boolean query of keywords. But, the method is not fit for novice users to use and has many difficulties than user's dialogue query from the viewpoint of convenience and precise understanding for query. So, this paper has an aim to suggest the method that will cope with above problems and to design and implement a meta query processing system for information retrieval using Korean dialogue sentences. The system implemented in this paper can generates a new boolean query for a given Korean dialogue sentence and resolve lexical ambiguities through morphological analysis, syntactic analysis and extension of query using thesaurus.

Foreign word transliterations are not consistently used in documents, which hinders retrieving some important relevant documents in exact term matching information retrieval systems. In this paper, a meta search method is proposed, which expands and refines relevant variant queries from an original input foreign word transliteration query to retrieve the more relevant documents. The method firstly expands a transliteration query to the variants using a statistical method. Secondly the method selects the valid variants: it queries each variant to the retrieval systems beforehand and checks the validity of each variant by counting the number of appearance of the variant in the retrieved document and calculating the similarity of the context of the variant. Experiment result showed that querying with the variants produced at the first step, which is a base method of the test, performed 38% in average F measure, and querying with the refined variants at the second step, which is a proposed method, significantly improved the performance to 81% in average F measure.

정보산업의 발달과 함께 일반 사용자들의 데이터베이스의 사용이 증가함에 따라 부정확한 자연어 질의 처리를 할 수 있는 인공 지능적인 질의시스템이 필요하게 되었다. 이러한 질의시스템이 자연어 질의를 처리하려면 불확실한 데이터들에 대한 정보를 제공하는 MetaData가 반드시 필요하고, 데이터베이스 분야와 인공지능 분야의 이론들을 바탕으로 MetaData의 정형화 및 분류가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 퍼지이론, 확률이론을 기초로 하여 소속척도, 근접추론, 유사관계, 데이터마이닝 기법 등을 이용하여 MetaData를 정형화하고 분류하였다.
