The development of collaboration among information systems in accordance with changes in enterprises' business environment brings about the problems of duplication of the existing business services and increase in costs of maintenance. Accordingly, Web service has been suggested as the standard of distributed computing to prevent the duplication of services within the same business domain and to attain the services that are already being utilized. But since the data needed for Web services are not standardized, it is difficult for the users to find services that meet diverse business purposes. In this paper, we construct an ontology-based collaboration system for service interoperability. The ontology can support fusion service by finding services which are existed interdependently under the distributed environment for collaboration processing. The role of the collaborative system includes development, registration and call of services based on ontology. A local systems request collaboration support through the service profile. Collaborative system supports the development of service using the service profiles, represents the semantic association between real data through system ontology, and infers relationship between instances contained in the services. Based on this, we applied the travel booking services for collaboration system. As a result, service can be managed effectively preventing collision in collaborative system, and we verify that the mapping between system is reduced.

In developing information systems, conceptual modeling is among the most fundamental means. The importance attributed to conceptual modeling has not only given rise to a lot of modeling methods, but also to the "yet another modeling approach (YAMA)" syndrome and the "not another modeling approach (NAMA)" hysteria. Criticism of conceptual modeling methods usually targets their lacking of theoretical foundations. In response to such criticism, various approaches towards theoretical foundations of conceptual modeling have been proposed so far. One of the recent responses to the quest for theoretical foundations of conceptual modeling is the reference to the philosophical ontology. The currently most prominent of diverse approaches towards ontological foundations of conceptual modeling appears to be the Bunge-Wand-Weber (BWW) ontology. Recent approaches attempt to regard BWW ontology as another conceptual data model as well as a criterion for evaluating various conceptual models. However, unfortunately, relatively few researches have been made on interoperability between the Entity-Relationship (ER) model, which is the most dominant conceptual data model, and ontology based model. In this paper, we investigate the interoperability between ontology and the ER model. In detail we (i) reclassify components of ER model with respect to ontology concepts, (ii) identify some components that cannot be directly represented in ontology notation, and (iii) present alternative representations to the components to acquire ontologically clear ER diagrams. Additionally, we (iv) present a set of mapping rules for converting the ontologically clear ER diagram into the corresponding ontology. In a case study, we show the process of converting an ER diagram for a concise Project Management System (PMS) into the ontologically clear ER diagram and the corresponding ontology. We also describe an experiment that we undertook to test whether users understand the Ontologically-Clear ER diagram better.

Recently XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is becoming the standard for exchanging the documents on the web. And as the amount of information is increasing because of the development of the technique in the Internet, semantic web is becoming to appear for more exact result of information retrieval than the existing one on the web. Ontology which is the basis of the semantic web provides the basic knowledge system to express a particular knowledge. So it can show the exact result of the information retrieval. Ontology defines the particular concepts and the relationships between the concepts about specific domain and it has the hierarchy similar to the taxonomy. In this paper, we propose the generation of semi-automatic ontology based on XML documents that are interesting to many researchers as the means of knowledge expression. To construct the ontology in a particular domain, we suggest the algorithm to determine the domain. So we determined that the domain of ontology is to extract the information of movie on the web. And we used the generalized association rules, one of data mining methods, to generate the ontology, using the tag and contents of XML documents. And XTM (XML Topic Maps), ISO Standard, is used to construct the ontology as an ontology language. The advantage of this method is that because we construct the ontology based on the terms frequently used documents related in the domain, it is useful to query and retrieve the related domain.

The semantic web-based social network is highly useful in a variety of areas. In this paper we make diverse analyses of the FOAF-based social network, and propose an expert recommendation system. This system presents useful method of ontology-based social network using SparQL, RDFS inference, and visualization tools. Then we apply it to real social network in order to make various analyses of centrality, small world, scale free, etc. Moreover, our system suggests method for analysis of an expert on specific field. We expect such method to be utilized in multifarious areas - marketing, group administration, knowledge management system, and so on.

Researches of current PMIS(Project Management Information System) information searching focus on providing personalized results as well as matching needed queries in an enormous amount of information. This paper aim at discovering hidden knowledge to provide personalized and inferred search results based on the ontology with categorized concepts and relations among construction data. The current PMIS searching occasionally presents too much redundant information or offers no matching results from large volumes of data. In this paper, we propose a service searching system, which becomes aware of users device using iPMIS(Intelligent Program Management Information System). And we design and plant the ontology-based iPMIS, which is aware of the context in its environment.

기존의 BISAgent(Bookmark Information Sharing Agent)는 사용자에 의해 저장되는 북마크를 공유를 기반으로 협동적 웹 브라우징(Collaborative Web Browsing)을 통해 Information Overload를 해결코자 하였다. 하지만, 사용자의 북마크의 메타 정보 입력에 대한 부담은 Information Noise 발생의 원인이 되었고, 그로인한 부작용이 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 BISAgent에 Ontology의 결합을 통해 사용자가 방문한 사이트의 내용 정보를 해석하여 개념화 하였으며, XML을 이용하여 표현하였다. 그럼으로써 북마크 메타정보의 자동화 및 북마크 자체의 자동 삽입을 통해 사용자의 부담을 최소화하는 효과를 가져왔다. 실험으로써 Ontology를 이용한 일반 HTML 문서의 개념화된 XML 문서로의 변환을 수행하였으며 북마크 정보 저장의 자동화를 위해 사이트 방문 패턴 해석을 실시하여 시스템의 성능을 평가하였다. 양적으로 많은 사용자 북마크를 추출하지는 못했지만 추출된 북마크는 사용자의 재방문이 이루어짐으로써 상당히 높은 정확성을 얻을 수 있었다.

In collaborative environment, it is necessary that the participants in collaboration should share the same understanding about the semantics of terms. For example, they should know that 'COMPONENT' and 'ITEM' are different word-expressions for the same meaning. In order to handle such problems in information sharing, an information system needs to automatically recognize that the terms have the same semantics. So we develop an algorithm mapping two terms based on their ontological definitions and their similarities. The proposed algorithm consists of four steps: the character matching, the inferencing, the definition comparing and the similarity checking. In the similarity checking step, we consider relation similarity and hierarchical similarity. The algorithm is very primitive, but it shows the possibility of semi-automatic mapping using ontology. In addition, we design a mapping procedure for a mapping system, called SOM (semantic ontology mapper).

본 논문에서 제안하는 정보 검색기는 일반적인 불리언(Boolean) 질의를 통해서 정보를 검색하는 것이 아니라, 문장으로 입력된 질의형태의 패턴을 분석하여 그에 맞는 정보를 직접 제공하는 것에 목적을 둔다. 이를 위해 어휘 의미 패턴(Lexical Semantic Pattern)과 온톨로지(Ontology) 기술이 정보검색기 개발에 적용되었다. 제안된 시스템에서는 다양한 형태로 표현된 문장 질의를 어휘 의미 패턴을 사용해서 문장의 질의 패턴을 추출하고 사용자 질의를 하나의 온톨로지(Ontology) 추론 질의와 매칭함으로써 질의에 대한 정확한 해답을 추출할 수 있다. 또한, 자연어 문장 입력에 대한 검색 질의 생성기를 구축하고 온톨로지로 표현된 지식을 사용하여 정보검색기 질의를 자동으로 확장함으로써 더욱 정확한 정보 검색 결과를 만들어 낼 수 있다.
