Currently RFID code systems are classified into ISO, EPC, uCode, KKR code, Mobile RFID code, and etc. According to RFID code systems, RFID system is changed. For various RFID code systems, it's difficult to make it to the network and permanence of RFID business. And the existing system isn't add new RFID code systems to RFID system, and change it efficiently. This paper is proposed to a system of Multi RFID code Identification Translation using Ontology. This system is able to identify code data from RFID reader using ontology build into the identifier info and translation info of RFID code systems, and translate to URN data. Therefore in case of extending and changing RFID code systems, we can add and change the identifier info and translation info of RFID code systems in ontology.

The tracing system means that the system can follows, traces, and records every steps of production and delivery of goods and its ingredient. Specially, Koreans have big concern about food tracing system which is influential for health directly. We were more interested in medical herb using in oriental medicine than any other things. We proposed the process and design of tracing system for medical herb based on RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technology in this research. This study shows current medical herb tracing ways and RFID code system by using for world standard. Firstly, We designed the new process of traceability of medical herb with various preceding references based on RFID technology. Secondly we suggest that RFID code configuration using the international standard code(ISO code) and korean agricultural and marine products code for the proposed process. RFID code system is very important because this plays a means of identification for tracing about medical herb. The proposed code system have the elements as Issuing Agency Code, Issuer Number, inspection information, inheritance flag, area code, modified agricultural and marine products code, serial number in 96 Bit length. Lastly We defined the code-generation process in the tracing system.

A bar-code shape UHF RFID tag antenna is designed and fabricated with silver conductive ink. It can be recognize by both bar-code scanner and RFID reader. The bar-code shape is taken from a general box of a product, and the product code of the bar-code is used for the antenna design. The tag antenna is fabricated with silver conductive ink using a T-matching structure. The designed tag antenna is satisfied with bar-code system and RFID system simultaneously. The input reflection coefficient characteristics and the reading range pattern are measured. The peak reading range is about 111 cm, which is long enough.

RFID middleware is the system software that converts EPC data collected from RFID reader devices into meaningful data, that users want, and transfers the result to the users with a variety of protocols. ALE specification, the RFID middleware specification proposed by EPCglobal that is a leading group of do facto international standards with respect to RFID, can handle only EPC code. Meanwhile, a new code system which is called KKR was proposed by NIDA in order to represent RFID tag data in a specific manner and cultivate the domestic RFID industry. In this case, the existing RFID middleware can not process KKR code system because of inherent attributes of the system. In this paper, we proposed a method of KKR code conversion to properly process KKR code in ALE middieware, implemented our method in real, and adopted it into existing ALE middleware. Also, we proposed a new URN format for RFID tag data to manipulate KKR code in ALE middleware. By using the proposed method, the existing ALE middleware conforming to international specification can handle KKR code effectively, and the integration among RFID middleware and legacy systems can be easily supported also.

KISA announced KKR code system observing the international standard, ISO/IEC 15459, in order to activate the domestic RFID industry and improve mutual operation among RFID services. In this paper, we propose the way on code conversion based on ontology methods so as to effectively convert various types of RFID KKR code data collected from RFID reader into URN code in the middleware based on the ALE standard spec of EPC global. The results of experiment show that various types of RFID KKR code data could be converted into URN codes successfully. This means that even though new types of KKR code are added, it can be extended easily by adding ontology information without rebuilding the middleware.

ALE-complient RFID middleware system receives EPC code data from reader devices and converts the data into URN format data internally. After filtering and grouping, the system sends the resulting URN code to application and(or) users. Meanwhile, not only the types of EPC code are very diverse, but also another new kinds of EPC code can be emerged in the future. Therefore, a method to process all kinds of EPC code effectively is required by RFID middleware. In this paper, a method to process various kinds of EPC code acquired from RFID reader devices in ALE-complient RFID middleware is proposed. Especially, we propose an approach using ontology technology to process not only existing EPC code but also newly defined code in the future. That is, we build an ontology of conversion rules for each EPC data type to effectively convert EPC data into URL format data. In this case, we can easily extend RFID middleware to process a new EPC code data by adding a conversion rule ontology for the code.

RFID technology is one of the core technologies for ubiquitous computing, and many research activities have been going on in this research area currently. Related with these researches, mobile RFID network services using mobile devices having a built-in RFID reader and mobile networks have been launched in Korea, for the first time in the world. In this paper, we propose a method to coulect ALE middleware suggested by EPCglobal and existing mobile RFID network services. Especially, a RFID code conversion method is proposed to process mobile RFID code systems within ALE middleware systems. Using the proposed method, application developers and(or) content business industries can acquire the information they want, which is filtered and refined in real-time or periodically, from mobile RFID users. So, they can Provide customized services to users by using the user preference information. In this war, the ALE middleware system can be easily extended to process mobile RFID code effectively.

An UHF RFID tag is designed and fabricated using the national code in a bar-code with conductive ink. The bar-code sample was taken from a general bar-code from a general box. The conductivity of the conductive ink was measured, and the measured conductivity was used for the simulation tool to design the printed bar-code shape tag antenna. The tag antenna was fabricated using T-matching to reduce the size of the tag, and the bar-code tag antenna is recognized by both a general bar-code reader and an UHF RFID reader. The input reflection coefficient characteristic, the reading range pattern and the reading rate of the tag antenna are measured.

The field of automatic identification using RF is the one of the emerging ubiquitous computing areas. Early RFID techniques was focused on hardware areas, but RFID middleware has recently gained a lot of attention, which collects and filters tag data, and provides it to enterprise applications. The RFID middleware proposed by EPCglobal only can process EPC tag data, and cannot handle the KKR code which is defined by korean organization. So in this paper, we propose a method which can process the KKR code in RFID middleware systems. Using our approach, the RFID middleware can be extended as general ubiquitous middleware systems which process not only EPC code but also KKR code.
