In a web environment, similar information exists in many different places in diverse formats. Even duplicate information is stored in the various databases using different terminologies. Since most information serviced in the current World Wide Web however had been constructed before the advent of ontology, it is practically almost impossible to construct ontology for all those resources in the web. In this paper, we assume that most information in the web environment exist in the form of RDBMS, and propose a matching method between domain ontology and existing RDBMS tables for semantic retrieval. In the processing of extracting a local ontology, some problems such as losing domain in formation can occur since the correlation of domain ontology has not been considered at all. To prevent these problems, we propose an instance-based matching which uses relational information between RDBMS tables and relational information between classes in domain ontology. To verify the efficiency of the method proposed in this paper, several experiments are conducted using the digital heritage information currently serviced in the countrywide museums. Results show that the proposed method increase retrieval accuracy in terms of user relevance and satisfaction.

인터넷의 발전으로 많은 웹 기반 정보 검색 시스템의 구축은 사용자들에게 다양한 정보를 제공하고 있으나, 방대한 정보의 양을 사용자들은 효율적으로 이용하지 못하고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 웹 기반 정보 검색 시스템에서 의미에 따른 문서 검색 기법을 제공하기 위해 의미 링크에 대해 알아보고, 의미 링크를 이용한 웹 기반 정보 검색 시스템인 불교 문화재 답사시스템을 웹과 데이터베이스 연동 방식에 따라 분류하여 구현해 본다. 앞으로의 연구 방향은 일반적인 정보 검색 시스템에서 로봇을 통하여 데이터들의 의미를 파악함으로써 의미에 따른 검색 기법을 제공하는 것이다.

Presently, Multimedia data are increasing suddenly in broadcasting and internet fields. For retrieval of still images in multimedia database, content-based image retrieval system is implemented in this paper that user can retrieve similar objects from image database after choosing a wanted query region of object. As to extract color features from query image, we transform color to HSV with proposed method that similarity is obtained it through histogram intersection with database images after making histogram. Also, query image is transformed to gray image and induced to wavelet transformation by which spatial gray distribution and texture features are extracted using banded autocorrelogram and GLCM before having similarity values. And final similarity values is determined by adding two similarity values. In that, weight value is applied to each similarity value. We make up for defects by taking color image features but also gray image features from query image. Elevations of recall and precision are verified in experiment results.

As the value of the multimedia data is getting high, the study on the semantic recognition and retrieval about the multimedia information is strongly demanded. In this paper, we build the motion ontology and adopt it for representing the meaning of the moving objects in video data. By referencing the WordNet structure, we extend its semantic meaning based on the reclassification of motion verbs, which are used to represent the semantic meaning of moving objects. The represented information is receded in OWL/RDF(S). Here, we could expect the 'Is-A' and 'Equivalent' reasoning of the data as we use the ontologies. And the semantic representation about the moving objects is possible through the video annotation using ontology. And we tested the accuracy of the system comparing with the key-word based system. As a result, we could get the approximately 10% improvement of the system performance.

In the last few years rapid improvements in hardware technology have made it possible to process, store and retrieve huge amounts of data ina multimedia format. As a result, Content-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR) has been receiving widespred interest during the last decade. This paper propose the content-based retrieval system as a method for performing image retrieval throught the effective feature analysis of the object of significant meaning by using texture descriptor.

In this paper, we address the issues related to storage and retrieval of continuous media (CM)data we face in designing multimedia on-demand (MOD) storage servers. To support the two orthogonal factors of MOD server design, i.e., storage and retrieval of CM data, this paper discusses the techniques of disk layout, disk striping and real-time disk scheduling, which are integrated as a combined solution to the high- performance MOD storage subsystem. The proposed clustered striping technique enables either a multiple-disk or a parallel system to guarantee a continuous retrieval of CM data at the bandwidth required to support user playback rate by avoiding the formation of I/O bottlenecks.

An image retrieval system based on image content is a key issue for building and managing large multimedia database, such as art galleries and museums, trademarks and copyrights, and picture archiving and communication system. Therefore, the interest on the subject of content-based image retrieval has been greatly increased for the last few years. This paper proposes a feature-based image retrieval technique which uses a compound feature vector representing both of color and shape of an image. Color information for the feature vector is obtained using the algebraic moment of each pixel of an image based on the property of regional color distribution. Shape information for the feature vector is obtained using the Improved Moment Invariant(IMI) which reduces the quantity of computation and increases retrieval efficiency. In the preprocessing phase for extracting shape feature, we transform a color image into a gray image. Since we make use of the modified DCT algorithm, it is implemented easily and can extract contour in real time. As an experiment, we have compared our method with previous methods using a database consisting of 150 automobile images, and the results of the experiment have shown that our method has the better performance on retrieval effectiveness.

As multimedia application services on high-speed information network have been rapidly developed, the need for the video information management system that provides an efficient way for users to retrieve video data is growing. In this paper, we propose a video data model that integrates free annotations, image features, and spatial-temporal features for video purpose of improving content-based retrieval of video data. The proposed video data model can act as a generic video data model for multimedia applications, and support free annotations, image features, spatial-temporal features, and structure information of video data within the same framework. We also propose the video query language for efficiently providing query specification to access video clips in the video data. It can formalize various kinds of queries based on the video contents. Finally we design and implement the query processing engine for efficient video data retrieval on the proposed metadata model and the proposed video query language.

Increase of multimedia information in Web requires a new method to manage and service multimedia documents efficiently. This paper proposes a conceptual object grouping method by fuzzy filtering, which is automatically constituted based on increase of multimedia documents. The proposed method composes subsumption relations between conceptual objects automatically using fuzzy filtering of the document objects that are extracted from domains. Grouping of such conceptual objects is regarded as subsumption relation which is decided by $\mu$-cut. This paper proposes $\mu$-cut, FAS(Fuzzy Average Similarity) and DSR(Direct Subsumption Relation) to decide fuzzy filtering, which groups related document objects easily. This paper used about 1,000 conceptual objects in the performance test of the proposed method. The simulation result showed that the proposed method had better retrieval performance than those for OGM(Optimistic Genealogy Method) and BGM(Balanced Genealogy Method).
