The study investigates mental models of scientifically gifted, middle school students when it comes to tides. This was done by analyzing facet of conceptual types for two contexts. We carried out two performance tasks of tide with different context. A large number of students showed different conceptual types by context. As a result of analyzing facet of conceptual types by context, there was a slight difference in content-specific facet, but a remarkable one in strategic facet. We classified four mental models about tide by configuring facets of conceptual types: (1) Tide model (2) Force model (3) Phase model (4) Hybrid model. The Tide model is scientifically accepted model, but Force model and Phase model are incorrect models, and Hybrid model is mixed model. In cases of Force model and Phase model, conceptual types concur with each other, but these types of students comprehend tides as a result of joined forces of Moon & Sun and phase change of Moon, respectively. Arranging low mental models in proportional order, Tide model (45.0%), Hybrid model (30.0%), Force model (12.5%), and Phase model (7.5%).

In the current information environment, metadata interoperability has become the predominant way of organizing and managing resources. However, current approaches to metadata interoperability focus on the superficial mapping between labels of metadata elements without considering semantics of each element. This research applied facet analysis to address these difficulties in achieving metadata interoperability. By categorizing metadata elements according to these semantic and functional similarities, this research identified different types of facets: basic, conceptual, and relational. Through these different facets, a faceted framework was constructed to mediate semantic, syntactical, and structural differences across heterogeneous metadata standards.

Although MAchine Readable Cataloging (MARC) and Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) are currently the most broadly used bibliographic structures for generating bibliographic data in the library community, each has its own weaknesses in describing information resources in diverse media. If the MARC format could be implemented in a structure that reflects the multi-layered characteristics of FRBR, its use could address current problems and limitations in resource description. The purpose of this research is to propose an alternative approach that can integrate the heterogeneous bibliographic structures of MARC and FRBR through the applications of facet and facet analysis. The proposed faceted data model is expected to function as a conceptual structure that can mediate between MARC data elements and FRBR attributes in order to utilize these structures in a more reliable and comprehensive way.

Applying one specific thesaurus might cause several problems because each thesaurus has its own characteristics inherited from its construction process. Therefore, integration of thesauri can be an appropriate approach to overcome the difficulties. This current research selected physics as a domain and two thesauri in the domain: PACS and PIRA. By integrating these two heterogeneous thesauri, this research could construct a conceptual structure that covers the whole concepts related to physics. By constructing the conceptual structure with the use of facet analysis from integrated thesaurus, it provides knowledge base with hierarchical structure and clear relationships between concepts. It can be an alternate approach to effective and efficient information retrieval and knowledge discovery.

In this paper, we proposed one of the methods for building thesaurus in Science & Technology domain and investigated its applicability as an inference service based on ontology. There exist as many building methods for thesaurus as its role and function, and actually many thesauri capable of ensuring the accuracy and efficiency in information search are being built by many experts. After examining the previous studies related to the principles of building thesaurus and relevant concept "facet", we focused on its characteristics and applied it to building thesaurus. The facet is classified into 2 categories, conceptual facet and relational facet. The latter contains 3 subcategories: category relational facet, attribute relational facet and thematic relational facet. The thesaurus for Science & Technology domain using facets can be applied as a web-based inference service. As a result, the three types of inference service, COP(Communities of Practice), Researcher Tracing and Research Map are provided by means of ontology, and can be applied for the Query Expansion.

본 논문에서는 시소러스 상에서 개념간 세분화를 위한 의미적 기준인 개념 패싯 (Conceptual Facet)과 관계 패싯 (Relational Facet) 그룹을 사용하는데, 패싯이란 공통의 특성을 갖는 개념들을 함께 그룹화하고 용어간 관계를 구조화하기 위한 장치이다. 개념 패싯은 용어가 갖는 대표적인 의미속성, 범주를 의미하며, 용어 각각을 구별되는 의미장 (Semantic Field)에 분류하도록 한다. 관계 패싯은 상$\cdot$하위 개념 간 의미 관계를 표현한 메타 개념이다. 본 시소러스는 여러 전문가들의 다양한 관점을 반영하도록 설계되었다. 관점이란 주관적이며, 임의적이어서 개별 개념에 내재된 자질 또는 속성과는 구별되는 독립적 속성이다. 개념 패싯, 관계 패싯의 도입은 계층 관계, 동등 관계, 범주 관계 등과 더불어 용어 간 관계를 보다 구체적으로 명시함으로써 최종 사용자에게 검색의 효율성과 정확성을 제공할 수 있다.

In this study, the experiment was made to transform the relationship among terms in a thesaurus to ontology language as search tools for multilingual text. As a result, the equivalent relationship in the thesaurus can be expressed by different ways in the ontology, such as equivalentClass, equivalentProperty, sameAS, and so on. On the other hand, the associative relationship can be represented by ObjectProperty, DatatypeProperty, and inverseOf. For this test, first of all, the descriptors assigned by AAT and the descriptors from bilingual thesaurus by ICCD were translated into Korean. Then, the facet was used for conceptual equivalence among terms from different languages. The result of the study showed that using rdf:Property in ontology was the most effective way of transforming multilingual thesaurus into ontology.

The purpose of the study was to construct a system based on the semantic web environment's ontology by utilizing the ontology schema derived from the facet-type Art and Architecture Thesaurus(AAT). The aforementioned ontology schema is based on the Web Ontology Language(OWL), which is being widely considered the standard ontology language for the W3C-centered semantic web environment. Also, the concepts were limited to terms within AAT'S Furniture Facet, and the system was tested using the Chair concept, which is a lower-level facet that has a diverse conceptual relationship and broad vocabulary base. The ontology system is capable of searching for concepts, while controlling the search results by always providing a 'Preferred term' for synonymous terms. In addition, the system provides the user with first, a relationship between the terms centered around the inquiry, and second, related terms along with their classification properties. Also, the system is presented as and application example of the ontology system that constructs a information system that intakes an Instance value and reproduces it into a RDF file. During this process, utilization of multiple ontologies was introduced, and the stored Instance value's meta-data elements were used.

본 연구에서는 중학교 과학 영재아들이 가지고 있는 조석에 관한 정신모형을 탐색하기 위하여 상황에 따른 개념 유형을 분류하고, 각 유형들을 구성하는 국면들을 분석하였다. 조석 현상에 관해 두 가지 상황으로 구성된 과제 수행을 실시한 후 그 응답 결과를 분석한 결과, 상당수의 학생들이 상황에 따라 서로 다른 개념 유형을 나타내었다. 상황에 따른 개념 유형들을 구성하고 있는 국면을 분석한 결과, 각 유형들은 내용-일반적 국면을 공통적으로 포함하고 있었으나, 내용-특정적 국면과 전략적 국면에서는 많은 차이를 나타내었다. 두 가지 상황에서 나타나는 개념 유형들과 이들 유형을 구성하는 국면들을 조합하여 학생들의 정신모형을 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 4가지 모형으로 나눌 수 있었다: (1) Tide model (2) Force model (3) Phase model (4) Hybrid model. Tide model은 과학적으로 옳은 모형이며, Force model과 Phase model은 옳지 않은 모형이며, Hybrid model은 혼합 모형으로 상황에 따라 나타나는 개념 유형이 서로 부합되지 않는 모형이다. 중학교 과학 영재아들이 조석 현상에 대해 가장 많이 가지고 있는 모형은 Tide model(45.0%)이었으며, 그 다음으로는 Hybrid model(30.0%), Force model(12.5%), Phase model(7.5%) 순으로 나타났다.

In this paper we propose a formal data model of an object-based thesaurus system supporting multi-dimensional facets. According to facets reflecting on respective user perspectives, it supports systematic construction, browsing, navigating and referencing of thesauri. Unlike other faceted thesaurus systems, it systematically manages its complexity by appropriately ing sophisticated conceptual structure through visualized browsing and navigation as well as construction. The browsing and navigation is performed by dynamically generating multi-dimensional virtual thesaurus hierarchies called "faceted thesaurus hierarchies." The hierarchies are automatically constructed by combining facets, each representing a dimension of view. Such automatic construction may make it possible the flexible extension of thesauri for they can be easily upgraded by pure insertion or deletion of facets. With a well defined set of self-referential queries, the thesauri can also be effectively referenced from multiple view points since they are structured by appropriately interpreting the semantics of instances based on facets. In this paper, we first formalize the underlying model and then implement its prototype to demonstrate its feasibility.
