Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) or Near Field Communication (NFC) technology has many advantages over other visual interfaces since it does not require line-of-sight alignment, can identify multiple tags simultaneously, and does not destroy the integrity of original objects. In addition, smart devices such as smartphone and smartpad have NFC/RFID readers which can provide mobile and natural interactions with digital and physical contents. Augmented reality has an excellent visual interaction capability with digital contents in a real environment by embedding digital contents into the physical world. In this paper, we propose a new approach to digital content interactions using RFID/NFC-based tangible interfaces in augmented reality environments that utilize invisible interfaces in addition to marker-based visual interfaces. By combining the advantages of invisible and visual interfaces, more intuitive interactions with digital contents can be provided, which can remove the difficulty of using typical AR paddles that are widely used in AR interactions. In particular, a semantic AR ontology is defined to provide more convenient interactions. Through the semantic ontology-based inferencing, physical querying and filtering are effectively supported. We will show the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed approach by demonstrating implementation results.

A middleware in grid computing environment is required to support seamless on-demand services over diverse resource situations in order to meet various user requirements [1]. Since grid computing applications need situation-aware middleware services in this environment. In this paper, we propose a semantic middleware architecture to support dynamic software component reconfiguration based fault and service ontology to provide fault-tolerance in a grid computing environment. Our middleware includes autonomic management to detect faults, analyze causes of them, and plan semantically meaningful strategies to recover from the failure using pre-defined fault and service ontology trees. We implemented a referenced prototype, Web-service based Application Execution Environment(Wapee), as a proof-of-concept, and showed the efficiency in runtime recovery.

The standard metadata systems are very popular for the description of structures and semantics of information resources to realize sharing and exchanging information in global ubiquitous environment. In real application domain, various metadata elements are reused together with mix-and-match manner. An application system using diverse metadata systems is compelled with refinement and interoperability of metadata elements. Application profile is the general approach to resolve the various problems occurred in metadata application systems. This paper proposes Application Profile Core Ontology (APO) that can achieve the goals and functions of application profile, and describes metadata application system based on APO.

In this paper, we describe an ontology-based context aware model that collects context information from USN sensor and CCTV image and reasons about context in order to development an integrated security control system in the industrial environments. The context model represents autonomous and heterogeneous data as ontologies and recognizes the context through DL(description logic) inference in the smart computing environment. We expect that the integrated security control system can automatically detects the risk in the industrial field and reduces the safety and security incidents by applying this context model to the system.

We will introduce a new web-based knowledge management system in progress, in which XML-based web information extraction and our structuring knowledge technologies are combined using ontology-based natural language processing. Our aim is to provide efficient access to heterogeneous information on the web, enabling users to use a wide range of textual and non textual resources, such as newspapers and databases, effortlessly to accelerate knowledge acquisition from such knowledge sources. In order to achieve the efficient knowledge management, we propose at first an XML-based Web information extraction which contains a sophisticated control language to extract data from Web pages. With using standard XML Technologies in the system, our approach can make extracting information easy because of a) detaching rules from processing, b) restricting target for processing, c) Interactive operations for developing extracting rules. Then we propose a structuring knowledge system which includes, 1) automatic term recognition, 2) domain oriented automatic term clustering, 3) similarity-based document retrieval, 4) real-time document clustering, and 5) visualization. The system supports integrating different types of databases (textual and non textual) and retrieving different types of information simultaneously. Through further explanation to the specification and the implementation technique of the system, we will demonstrate how the system can accelerate knowledge acquisition on the Web even for novice users of the field.

A core technology that may realize the Semantic Web is Ontology. The OWL (Web Ontology Language) has been positioned as a standard language. It requires technical expertise to directly represent the domain knowledge in OWL. Based on our experience of analyzing the fundamental relationships of concepts in e-catalog domain, we have developed a visual product information modeler called PROMOD. The modeling editor makes it possible to automatically generate the OWL codes for the given product information. We employ an Extended Entity-Relationship for conceptual modeling, enriched with modeling elements specialized for the product domain. In this paper, we present our translation schemes from EER model to OWL codes, and how to design and implement the modeling editor. We also provide a scenario to demonstrate the usage of the editor in practice.

It is a difficult problem that learner have to need much times and efforts to search informations for problem solving. This is caused that the web based search system used by this time have the searching method of simple keyword matching. The searching method of simple keyword matching search informations by method of whether it is simply matched with keyword. Therefore, Learner have to much times and efforts to search informations, and may lose or be out of his bearing. To solve this problems, We design and implement a ontology based search system. This system is apply to PBL of social studies on middle school students. As a result, This system is more effect than the web based search system used by this time.

현재의 웹 검색은 단순히 키워드 매칭만을 수행하기 때문에 검색 결과가 사용자가 원하는 정보와는 의미적으로 상이한 결과들을 많이 포함하고 있다. 사용자가 원하는 정보와 의미적으로 정확히 일치하는 정보들을 추출하기 위해서는 웹 자원에 대한 정확한 의미 부여와 함께, 이를 파악하고 선택적으로 획득, 통합, 가공할 수 있는 온톨로지와 같은 시맨틱 웹 환경요소들이 필요하다. 웹 기술 표준화 단체인 W3C에서는 이와 같은 웹 자원에 대한 의미표현 기술로 OWL(Web Ontology Language)이라는 웹 온톨로지 표현 언어를 발표하였으나 아직 이를 효과적으로 저작, 편집할 수 있는 도구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문은 OWL을 기반으로 하여 온톨로지의 생성 및 편집을 효과적으로 제공할 수 있는 통합된 저작도구를 설계 및 구현하였다.

World practice is evidence of that computer systems of an intellectual support of medical activities bound up with examination of patients, their diagnosis, therapy and so on are the most effective means for attainment of a high level of physician\`s qualification. Such systems must contain large knowledge bases consistent with the modern level of science and practice. To from large knowledge bases for such systems it is necessary to have a medical ontology model reflecting contemporary notions of medicine. This paper presents a description of an observation ontology, knowledge base for the physician of general tipe, architecture, functions and implementation of problem independent shell of the system for intellectual supporting patient examination and mathematical model of the dialog. The system can be used by the following specialist: therapeutist, surgeon, gynecologist, urologist, otolaryngologist, ophthalmologist, endocrinologist, neuropathologist and immunologist. The system supports a high level of examination of patients, delivers doctors from routine work upon filling in case records and also automatically forms a computer archives of case records. The archives can be used for any statistical data processing, for producing accounts and also for debugging of knowledge bases of expert systems. Besides that, the system can be used for rise of medical education level of students, doctors in internship, staff physicians and postgraduate students.

Semantic Web society initially focused only on data but has gradually moved toward knowledge. Recently rule beyond ontology has emerged as a key element of the Semantic Web. All of these activities are obviously aiming at making data and knowledge on the Web sharable and reusable between various entities around the world. If one of ultimate visions of the Semantic Web is to increase human's decision making quality assisted by machines, there is a missing but important part to be shared and reused. It is knowledge about constraints on data and concepts represented by ontology which should be emphasized more. In this paper, we propose Semantic Web Constraint Language (SWCL) based on OWL and show how effective SWCL can be in representing and solving an internet shopper's decision making problem by an implementation of a shopping agent in the Semantic Web environment.
