Defense Modeling and Simulation aims to provide a computerized war environment where we can analyze weapon systems realistically. As we invest significant efforts to represent weapon systems and their operational environments on the computer, there has been an increasing need to reuse predefined weapon models. In this paper, we introduce OB-Cloud (Ontology-Based Cloud storage) to utilize predefined weapon models. OB-Cloud has been implemented as a repository for OpenSIM (Open Simulation engine for Interoperable Models), which is an integrated simulation environment for aiding weapons effectiveness analysis, under the development of our research team. OB-Cloud uses weapon ontology and thesaurus dictionaries to provide semantic search for reusable models. In this paper, we present repository services of OB-Cloud, including registration of weapon models and semantic retrieval of similar models, and illustrate how we can improve reusability of weapon models, through an example.

Semantic web uses ontology languages such as RDF, RDFS, and OWL to define the metadata on the web. There have been many researching efforts in the semantic web technologies based on an agent for extracting triple and relation about concept of ontology. But the extraction of relation and triple about the concept of ontology based on an agent ends up writing a limited query statement as characteristics of an agent. As for this, there is the less of flexibility when extracting triple and relation about the other concept of ontology. We are need a query tool for flexible information retrieval of ontology that is can access the standard ontology and can be used standard query language. In this paper, we propose a SPARQL query tool that is can access the OWL ontology via HTTP protocol and it can be used to make a query. Query result can be output to the soap message. These operations can be support the web service.

We designed a structured folksonomy system in which queries can be expanded through tag control; equivalent, synonym or related tags are bound together, in order to improve the retrieval efficiency (recall and precision) of image data. Then, we evaluated the proposed system by comparing it to a tag-based system without tag control in terms of recall, precision, and user satisfaction. Furthermore, we also investigated which query expansion method is the most efficient in terms of retrieval performance. The experimental results showed that the recall, precision, and user satisfaction rates of the proposed system are statistically higher than the rates of the tag-based system, respectively. On the other hand, there are significant differences among the precision rates of query expansion methods but there are no significant differences among their recall rates. The proposed system can be utilized as a guide on how to effectively index and retrieve the digital content of digital library systems in the Library 2.0 era.

Motion of object in a video clip often plays an important role in characterizing the content of the clip. A number of methods have been developed to analyze and retrieve video contents using motion information. However, most of these methods focused more on the analysis of direction or trajectory of motion but less on the analysis of the movement of an object itself. In this paper, we propose the shape sequence descriptor to describe and compare the movement based on the shape deformation caused by object motion along the time. A movement information is first represented a sequence of 2D shape of object extracted from input image sequence, and then 2D shape information is converted 1D shape feature using the shape descriptor. The shape sequence descriptor is obtained from the shape descriptor sequence by frequency transform along the time. Our experiment results show that the proposed method can be very simple and effective to describe the object movement and can be applicable to semantic applications such as content-based video retrieval and human movement recognition.

Emerging Web 2.0 services such as Twitter, Blogs, and Wikis alongside the poorlystructured and immeasurable growth of information requires an enhanced information organization approach. Ontology has received much attention over the last 10 years as an emerging approach for enhancing information organization. However, there is little penetration into current systems. The purpose of this study is to propose ontology implementation and methodology. To achieve the goal of this study, limitations of traditional information organization approaches are addressed and emerging information organization approaches are presented. Two ontology data models, RDF/OW and Topic Maps, are compared and then ontology development processes and methodology with topic maps based medical information retrieval system are addressed. The comparison of two data models allows users to choose the right model for ontology development.

With the abundance of digital contents, the necessity of precise indexing technology is consistently required. To meet these requirements, the intelligent software entity needs to be the subject of information retrieval and the interoperability among intelligent entities including human must be supported. In this paper, we analyze the unifying framework for multi-modality indexing that Snoek and Worring proposed. Our work investigates the method of improving the authenticity of indexing information in contents-based automated indexing techniques. It supports the creation and control of abstracted high-level indexing information through ontological concepts of Semantic Web skills. Moreover, it attempts to present the fundamental model that allows interoperability between human and machine and between machine and machine. The memory-residence model of processing ontology is inappropriate in order to take-in an enormous amount of indexing information. The use of ontology repository and inference engine is required for consistent retrieval and reasoning of logically expressed knowledge. Our work presents an experiment for storing and retrieving the designed knowledge by using the Minerva ontology repository, which demonstrates satisfied techniques and efficient requirements. At last, the efficient indexing possibility with related research is also considered.

In the current Internet environment where there is high space complexity of information, search engines aim to provide accurate information that users want. But content-based method adopted by most of search engines cannot be used as an effective tool in the current Internet environment. As content-based method gives different weights to each web page using morphological characteristics of vocabulary, the method has its drawbacks of not being effective in distinguishing each web page. To resolve this problem and provide useful information to the users, this paper proposes an evaluation method based on categories. Category-based evaluation method is to extend query to semantic relations and measure the similarity to web pages. In applying weighting to web pages, category-based evaluation method utilizes user response to web page retrieval and categories of query and thus better distinguish web pages. The method proposed in this paper has the advantage of being able to effectively provide the information users want through search engines and the utility of category-based evaluation technique has been confirmed through various experiments.

Currently, there are many simple searches for local culture and tourism, but systematic information retrieval using ontology technology is weak. The keyword-based search, which is an existing search method, derives a search result that is different from a user's wanted intention. On the other hand, semantic search using ontology constructs shows the information related to the search term by creating a relation between words and words. Therefore, when tourists search for cultural and tourist attractions in the area, they provide information that includes meaning relevance in the search results. If the ontology provides information on the culture, sightseeing area, transportation, Can be more easily grasped. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based retrieval system based on culture and tourist sites utilizing public institutions database by using mobile application by extending search system which relied only on existing internal database to provide accurate and reliable information to users. This efficient structure of the ontology makes it possible to provide information suitable for the user quickly and accurately.

The ontology was proposed to construct the logical basis of semantic web. Ontology represents domain knowledge in the formal form and it enables that machine understand domain knowledge and provide appropriate intelligent service for user request. However, the construction and the maintenance of ontology requires large amount of cost and human efforts. This paper proposes an automatic ontology construction method for defining relation between concepts in the documents. The Proposed method works as following steps. First we find concept pairs which compose association rule based on the concepts in domain specific documents. Next, we find pattern that describes the relation between concepts by clustering the context between two concepts composing association rule. Last, find generalized pattern name by clustering the clustered patterns. To verify the proposed method, we extract relation between concepts and evaluate the result using documents set provide by TREC(Text Retrieval Conference). The result shows that proposed method cant provide useful information that describes relation between concepts.
