The Semantic Web introduces the next generation of the Web by establishing a semantic layer of machine-understandable data to enable machines (i.e intelligent agents) retrieve more relevant information and execute automated web services using semantic information. Ontology-related technologies are very important to evolve the World Wide Web of today into the Semantic Web in representation and share of semantic data. In this paper, we proposed and implemented the efficient ontology management system, K-Box, which constructs and manages ontologies using topic maps. We can use K-Box system to construct, store and retrieve ontologies. K-Box system has several components: Topicmap Factory, Topicmap Provider, Topicmap Query Processor, Topicmap Object Wrapper, Topicmap Cache Manager, Topicmap Storage Wrapper.

W3C has selected OWL as a standard for Web ontology description and a necessity of research on storage models that can store OWL ontologies effectively has been issued. Until now, relational model-based storage systems such as Jena, Sesame, and DLDB, have been developed, but there still remain several issues. Especially, they lead inefficient query processing performance. The structural problems of their low query processing performance are as follow: Jena has a simple structure which is not normalized and also stores most information in a single table. It exponentially decreases the performance because of comparison with unnecessary information for processing queries requiring join operations as well as simple search. The structures of storages(e.g., Sesame) have been completely normalized. Therefore it executes many join operations for query processing. The storages require many join operations to find simply a specific class. This paper proposes a storage model to resolve the problems that the query processing performance is decreased because of non-normalization or complete normalization of the existing storages. To achieve this goal, we analyze the problems of existing storage models as well as relations of OWL elements and query patterns. The proposed model, defined with the analysis results, provides an optimal normalized structure to minimize join operations or unnecessary information comparison. For the experiment of query processing performance, a LUBM data sets are used and query patterns are defined considering search targets and their hierarchical relations. In addition, this paper conducts experiments on correctness and completeness of query results to verify data loss of the proposed model, and the results are described. With the comparative evaluation results, our proposal showed a better performance than the existing storage models.

This paper proposes a relational security model-based RDF Web ontology access control model. The Semantic Web is recognized as a next generation Web and RDF is a Web ontology description language to realize the Semantic Web. Much effort has been on the RDF and most research has been focused on the editor, storage, and inference engine. However, little attention has been given to the security issue, which is one of the most important requirements for information systems. Even though several researches on the RDF ontology security have been proposed, they have overhead to load all relevant data to memory and neglect the situation that most ontology storages are being developed based on relational database. This paper proposes a novel RDF Web ontology security model based on relational database to resolve the issues. The proposed security model provides high practicality and usability, and also we can easily make it stable owing to the stability of the relational database security model.

Current ontology studies use the Hadoop distributed storage framework to perform map-reduce algorithm-based reasoning for scalable ontologies. In this paper, however, we propose a novel approach for scalable Web Ontology Language (OWL) Horst Lite ontology reasoning, based on distributed cluster memories. Rule-based reasoning, which is frequently used for scalable ontologies, iteratively executes triple-format ontology rules, until the inferred data no longer exists. Therefore, when the scalable ontology reasoning is performed on computer hard drives, the ontology reasoner suffers from performance limitations. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose an approach that loads the ontologies into distributed cluster memories, using Spark (a memory-based distributed computing framework), which executes the ontology reasoning. In order to implement an appropriate OWL Horst Lite ontology reasoning system on Spark, our method divides the scalable ontologies into blocks, loads each block into the cluster nodes, and subsequently handles the data in the distributed memories. We used the Lehigh University Benchmark, which is used to evaluate ontology inference and search speed, to experimentally evaluate the methods suggested in this paper, which we applied to LUBM8000 (1.1 billion triples, 155 gigabytes). When compared with WebPIE, a representative mapreduce algorithm-based scalable ontology reasoner, the proposed approach showed a throughput improvement of 320% (62k/s) over WebPIE (19k/s).

Computing has been making a lot of progress in the quantity of data, today. It's going to be more difficult to get appropriate information as the number of data increases dramatically. Therefore it's more important to get meaningful information than to focus on the speed of processing. Semantic web enables an intelligent processing by adding semantic information to data, and it is useful to make ontology system. In this Paper, we implemented ontology Processing system which support function for ontology and efficient processing for practical service. We proposed system design for independent from storage, storing technique for RDB, caching technique by schema information and useful user interface.

Metadata and ontology can be used to retrieve related information through the inference mure accurately and simply on the Semantic Web. RDF and RDF Schema are general languages for representing metadata and ontology. An enormous number of keywords on the Semantic Web are very important to make practical applications of the Semantic Web because most users prefer to search with keywords. In this paper, we consider a resource as a unit of query results. And we classily queries with keyword conditions into three patterns and propose indexing techniques for keyword-search considering both metadata and ontology. Our index maintains resources that contain keywords indirectly using conceptual relationships between resources as well as resources that contain keywords directly. So, if user wants to search resources that contain a certain keyword, all resources are retrieved using our keyword index. We propose a structure of table for storing RDF Schema information that is labeled using some simple methods.

Grid resources are composed of various communication networks and operation systems. When a grid system searches and selects grid resources, which meet requirements of a grid user, existing grid resource selection systems are limited due to their storage methods for resource information. In order to select grid resources suitable for requirements of a grid user and characteristics of data, this paper constructs an ontology for grid resources and proposes an ontology-based grid resource selection system. This system provides an inference engine based on rules defined by SWRL to create a resource list. Experimental results comparing the proposed system with existing grid resource selection systems, such as the Condor-G and the Nimrod-G, verify the effectiveness of the ontology-based grid resource selection system with improved job throughput and resource utilization and reduced job loss and job processing time.

Researchers and scientists spend huge amount of time in analyzing the previous studies and their results. In order to timely take the advantageous position, they usually analyze various resources such as paper, patents, and Web documents on recent research issues to preoccupy newly emerging technologies. However, it is difficult to select invest-worthy research fields out of huge corpus by using the traditional information search based on keywords and bibliographic information. In this paper, we propose a method for efficient creation, storage, and utilization of semantically relevant information among technologies, products and research agents extracted from 'big data' by using text mining. In order to implement the proposed method, we designed an ontology that creates technological knowledge for semantic web environment based on the relationships extracted by text mining techniques. The ontology was utilized for InSciTe Adaptive, a R&D trends analysis and forecast service which supports the search for the relevant technological knowledge.
