In the cloud environment, the company needs data integration and analysis to make decision and policy. If new system is added to this environment, a lot of time and cost is needed due to disparate properties among systems when data is integrated. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a DBaaS hub system for multi-database service. The DBaaS may require a different database and need data integration for relevant service. Using the ontology, we propose a metadata query to resolve the interoperability issues between data of DBaaS. The meta-query is not a query to access the real data, but the query for the upper level. This method provides data integration by accessing the data with the converted query through an ontology when we access the actual database.We also constructs a document-oriented database system using the metadata.

Records related to a certain cultural heritage are concrete evidence that prove the value of the cultural heritage and become a criterion for long-term preservation of its records. The value of the records is as important as cultural heritage value. In the case of specific cultural heritage with national or socially important values, various studies are conducted on cultural heritage as one theme, and various programs about cultural heritage are developed. However, it is difficult to grasp the scope, record types, and contents of the records because they have been distributed and managed in many institutes. They also appear in various forms. As a solution to these problems, this study collected records of a major cultural heritage with social and historical values such as Hwangnyongsa from 11 public institutions and web services and analyzed the types of records, activities related to the records, and metadata. Through data analysis, an ontology that can understand the range and relationship of the entire record was suggested so that the record can be understood with a focus on specific cultural heritage.

Useful emails influence on consumers' purchase behavior and activate them to visit retail stores. Regular contact with consumers by e-mail has positive effects on brand loyalty. However, email marketing has a limitation. Spam now accounts for over half of all e-mail traffic. The increase of email users has resulted in the dramatic increase of spam emails during the past few years. In this paper, we proposed an ontology-based system offering personalized email services to overcome such limitation. Our method is not the ontology-driven spam filtering, but a personalized content service considering personal interests and relations among people by using FOAF and domain ontologies. Our system was successfully tested in email marketing domain.

It is important to choose and develop right business model in the process of implementing the ubiquitous service concept. In particular, it is also required to build a method which can assist in establishing a business model in a competitive perspective to differentiate business strategy. However, we could not find the existing studies which tried to develop business model including methods on how to differentiate business strategy in a competitive environment. In this study, we propose an ontology for repository of ubiquitous business model and address on how to apply the proposed business model repository to real ubiquitous industry. We also built a repository of unlicensed wireless device industry to check the applicability of proposed ubiquitous business model ontology and to show the various examples. We expect that building the business model repository contributes to reduce the redundancy and inefficiency for industry as well as to increase likelihood of business success for an individual company.

Korean cyber universities now provide higher education service to learners but the courses suffer major limitations of low quality and inefficient format of their learning contents. Because of the absence of any standard authoring strategy for learning contents, tutors develop their own courseware with various formats and content structures. In addition, the lack of association between content learners causes them difficulties in finding and reusing related contents. In this paper, we propose an authoring strategy foradvanced learning contents based on SCORM and ontology. Our strategy improvesthe reusability and associativity of learning contents. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed authoring strategy through developing learning contents such as understanding of digital contents.

In this paper, we design an ontology which provides interoperability by integrating typical metadata specifications and defines concepts and semantic relations between concepts that are used to describe metadata for learning objects in university courses. And we organize a hierarchical structured e-Learning system for efficient retrieval of learning objects on many local storages that use different specifications to describe metadata and propose a query processing method based on inferences. The proposed e-Learning system can provide more accurate and satisfactory retrieval service by using the designed ontology because both learning objects that be directly connected to user queries and deduced learning objects that be semantically connected to them are retrieved.

Recently, research in building up semantic web for exchanging information and knowledge is active. To make use of video contents as knowledge on semantic web, semantic-based retrieval should be preceded. At present, retrieval based on consentaneity between metadata and keyword is common used. In this paper, I propose ontolgy establishment which enlarge user participation and add usefulness value and history information. This will facilitate semantic retrieval as well as use of video contents by using collective Intelligence. The proposed ontology schema will allow semantic-based retrieval of video contents on semantic web get higher recall compared to current way of retrieval. Moreover it enables you to make use of various video contents as knowledge.

The change in information technology demands drastic change in digital library service. This study defines what a social semantic digital library should consist of and proposes a new architecture that incorporates core functions needed in designing a SSDL. The SSDL supports semantic information processing based on metadata and ontology and is an innovation system that allows SSDL users to participate in generating new knowledge by interacting with existing metadata and ontology structures. This study designed a SSDL model that consists of five horizontal and two vertical structures.

An intelligent service robot is a robot that monitors its surroundings, and then provides a service to meet a user's goal. It is normally impossible for a robot to anticipate all the needs of its user and various situations in the surroundings ahead, and to prepare for all the necessary functions to cope with them. Therefore, it is required to support the self-growing capability by which robots can extend their functionality based on users' needs and external conditions. In this paper, as an enabler of the self-growing capability, we propose a method that allows a robot to select a component-composition pattern represented in an architectural form (called a sub-architecture), and to extend its functionality by obtaining a set of software components that are prescribed in the pattern. Sub-architecture is selected and instantiated not only based on the functionality required but also based on quality requirements of a user and the surrounding environment. To provide this method, we constructed a quality-attributes-in-use ontology and developed a brokering mechanism that matches quality requirements of users and surroundings against quality attributes of sub-architectures. The ontology provides the common vocabularies to represent quality requirements and attributes, and enables the semantically-based reasoning in matching and instantiating appropriate sub-architectures in supporting services to users. This ontology-based approach contributes to provide a great flexibility in extending robot functionality based on available software components, and to narrow the gap between users' Quality requirements and the Quality of the actual services provided by a robot.

Recently the usage of mobile devices which enable the accessibility to Internet has been dramatically increased. Most of the mobile services, however, so far tend to be simple such as infotainment service. In order to fully taking advantage of wireless network and corresponding technology, personalized web service based on user's context could be needed. Meanwhile, optimization techniques have been vitally incorporated for optimizing the development and administration of electronic commerce. However, applying context-aware optimization mechanism to personalized mobile services is still very few. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology to incorporate optimization techniques into personalization services. Multi agent-based web service approach is considered to realize the methodology. To show the feasibility of the methodology proposed in this paper, a prototype system, CAMA-myOPt(Context-Aware Multi-Agent system for my Optimization), was implemented and adopted in mobile comparative shopping.
