This paper describes the major components of ISO/IEC 11179 metadata registry (MDR) standard designed to promote data interoperability between systems, explains and discusses semantic web technology and Web ontology languages initiated by W3C that can be employed to further enhance data interoperability, and finally proposes a framework for a new RDF/OWL-based MDR to convert from the current human-readable MDR to machine-readable MDR. If the new MDR is successful, we might be able to offer a better customized information service to users. The future research will be concerned with evaluating objectively the effectiveness of machine-readable MDR in meeting the needs of real users.

This paper proposes an ontology population model based on ISO/IEC 11179. Much research has recently been done on harmonizing Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web, and the harmonization is defined as Web 3.0. The most important issues for realizing Web 3.0 include defining ontology schemas and populating instances for ontologies. To resolve the issue, Web ontology schemas should be precisely defined, and a method for populating Web ontology from Web resources should be developed. This paper proposes a Web ontology population model based on ISO/IEC 11179 - Metadata Registry (MDR), which is the international standard, developed to manage and use common standard concepts.

To share and standardize information, especially in the database environments, MDR (Metadata Registry) can be used to integrate various heterogeneous databases within a particular domain. But due to the discrepancies of data element representation between organizations, global information integration is not so easy. And users who are searching integrated information on the Web have limitation to obtain schema information for the underlying source databases. To solve those problems, in this paper, we present a 3-layered Information Integration System (LI2S) based on MDRs and Ontology. The purpose of proposed architecture is to define information integration model, which combine both of the nature of MDRs standard specification and functionality of ontology for the concept and relation. Adopting agent technology to the proposed model plays a key role to support the hierarchical and independent information integration architecture. Ontology is used as for a role of semantic network from which it extracts concept from the user query and the establishment of relationship between MDRs for the data element. (MDR and Knowledge Base are used as for the solution of discrepancies of data element representation between MDRs. Based on this architectural concept, LI2S was designed and implemented.

Information systems in current corporations are managing and storing large data officially happened on individual and various databases. Corporations for migrating the stored data from these individual databases are adopting with technologies of EAI, MDR, DW etc.. However these technologies are not only required to expenses introduction charge and maintenance cost but also have problems of heterogeneous environment required per each vender In this paper, to solve problems of these current existing technologies, we propose to design our data migration system to migrate source data and semantic constraint condition between heterogeneous relation databases based on web service. As corporations use web services, they can reduce introduction expense and maintenance cost because of using current existent web environment. Each system can independently migrate XML based data against any platform, system environment, and Implementation language.

The Basic Semantic Register(BSR) is and official ISO register designed for interoperability among eBusiness and EDI systems. The entities registered in the current BSR are not defined in a machine-understandable way, which renders automatic extraction of structural and relationship information from the register impossible. The purpose of this study is to offer a framework for designing an ontology that can provide semantic interoperability among BSR-based systems by defining data structures and relationships with RDF and OWL, similar meaning by the 'equivalentClass' construct in OWL, the hierachical relationships among classes by the 'subClassOf' construct in RDF schema, definition of any entities in BSR by the 'label' construct in RDF schema, specification of usage guidelines by the 'comment' construct in RDF schema, assignment of classes to BSU's by the 'domain' construct in RDF schema, specification of data types of BSU's by the 'range' construct in RDF schema. Hierarchical relationships among properties in BSR can be expressed using the 'subPropertyOf' in RDF schema. Progress in semantic interoperability can be expected among BSR-based systems through applications of semantic web technology suggested in this study.

This study suggests a method for extending XMDR to integrate and search legacy system. This extension blends MSO(Meta Semantic Ontology) for the management of metadata, ML(Meta Location) for the management of location information, and Topic Map which is the standard language used to represent semantic web. This study refers to it as TMDR(Topic Map MetaData Registry). As an intelligent layer, Topic Map functions like an index. However, if the data frequently changes, the efficiency of Topic Map may drop. To solve this problem, the proposed system represents the relation among metadata, the relation among real data, and the relation between metadata and real data as Topic Map. The represented Topic Map proposes a method to reduce the changing relation among real data caused by the relation among metadata.

이 논문에서는 메타데이터 레지스트리 (MDR, Metadata Registry) 기반의 웹 온톨로지 생성모델을 제안한다. 메타데이터 레지스트리는 국제 표준(ISO/IEC 11179)으로서 데이터베이스간 상호운용성 향상을 위해 개발되었다. 그러나 데이터 표현과 상호운용성을 위한 컴퓨팅 환경의 변화는 메타데이터 레지스트리의 확장은 물론 메타데이터 레지스트리의 활용 방법의 변화를 요구한다. 이 논문에서의 웹 환경의 변화란 정적인 웹 환경에서 웹 2.0 혹은 시맨틱 웹 이라고 정의하는 차세대 웹 환경으로의 변화를 의미한다. 이러한 환경을 위해서 다양한 기술 개발과 적용 기법에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 특히 차세대 웹을 위해서는 지원에 대한 명확한 의미 정의 및 활용이 요구된다. 이는 웹 온톨로지 스키마를 구성하는 개념들에 대한 보다 일관성 있는 정의 및 사용이 필요하다. 이러한 문제가 해결되지 않을 경우, 또 다시 온톨로지를 구성하는 개념들 간 이질성 문제를 야기한다. 메타데이터 레지스트리는 다양한 표준화 된 개념들을 포함하며, 응용을 위한 데이터를 위한 의미 또한 이 개념들을 이용하여 정의한다. 따라서 이러한 표준 요소를 이용한 웹 온톨로지 스키마 정의 및 활용이 요구되며, 이 논문에서 이와 관련된 기본 개념, 요구 사항을 장의하고 전체적인 모델을 제안한다.

The representative method to efficiently manage the organization's data is to avoid data duplication through the promotion of sharing and reusing existing data. The systematic structuring of existing data and efficient searching should be supported in order to promote the sharing and reusing of data. Without regard for these points, the data for the system development would be duplicated, which would deteriorate the quality of the data. Data taxonomy provides some methods that can enable the needed data elements to be searched quickly with a systematic order of managing data. This paper proposes that the Origin data taxonomy method can best maximize data sharing, reusing, and consolidation, and it can be used for Meta Data Registry (MDR) and Semantic Web efficiently. The Origin data taxonomy method constructs the data taxonomy structure built upon the intrinsic nature of data, so it can classify the data with independence from business classification. Also, it shows a deployment method for data elements used in various areas according to the Origin data taxonomy structure with a data taxonomic procedure that supports the proposed taxonomy. Based on this case study, the proposed data taxonomy and taxonomic procedure can be applied to real world data efficiently.
