The agricultural sector is completely different from other sectors since it completely relies on various natural and climatic factors. Climate changes have many effects, including lack of annual rainfall and pests, heat waves, changes in sea level, and global ozone/atmospheric CO₂ fluctuation, on land and agriculture in similar ways. Climate change also affects the environment. Based on these factors, farmers chose their crops to increase productivity in their fields. Many existing agricultural ontologies are either domain-specific or have been created with minimal vocabulary and no proper evaluation framework has been implemented. A new agricultural ontology focused on subdomains is designed to assist farmers using Jaccard relative extractor (JRE) and Naïve Bayes algorithm. The JRE is used to find the similarity between two sentences and words in the agricultural documents and the relationship between two terms is identified via the Naïve Bayes algorithm. In the proposed method, the preprocessing of data is carried out through natural language processing techniques and the tags whose dimensions are reduced are subjected to rule-based formal concept analysis and mapping. The subdomain ontologies of weather, pest, and soil are built separately, and the overall agricultural ontology are built around them. The gold standard for the lexical layer is used to evaluate the proposed technique, and its performance is analyzed by comparing it with different state-of-the-art systems. Precision, recall, F-measure, Matthews correlation coefficient, receiver operating characteristic curve area, and precision-recall curve area are the performance metrics used to analyze the performance. The proposed methodology gives a precision score of 94.40% when compared with the decision tree(83.94%) and K-nearest neighbor algorithm(86.89%) for agricultural ontology construction.

The leveling of technical internet domain term with its aim to accumulate knowledge that machine can comprehend, which has been used widely in recent years. If stratify domain term weight, we believe that machine can manage and analyze in formation on its own using the ontology. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that allows us to extract properties of ontology weight from structured information already existing in web documents. In particular by stratification of the domain knowledge that is composed of property information, we were able to make the algorithm better and improve the quality of extraction results. In our experiments with 50 thousands targeted documents, we were able to extract property information with 94% confidence.

Ontology is an essential component of the semantic web and it continue to change and evolve. We study a set of changes based on domain changes, changes in conceptualization, metadata changes, and time dimension. Ontology versioning brings about massive amount of versions to be stored and maintained. We present several storage policies and conduct a set of experiments to compare the performance of each storage policies.

This study tries to describe personal name access point control ontology for the American novelist Mark Twain using RDF/OWL axiom to control access point based on the ontology. The Axiom used in this study are disjoint with class, domain and range, property cardinality, inverse functional property, individual and literal data property. As a result, in the ontology environment we can accept various access points as equal access points exclusive of authority heading and heading concept. It can successfully describe Mark Twain's personal name access point control ontology and display using the OntoGraf.

Much research on semantic geographic information systems that incorporating the Semantic Web and geographic information has been actively studied. However, the existing geographic information systems have a system dependency problem that users can input and retrieve non-spatial information only in a specific system. It also causes difficulty in providing rich services. Therefore, this paper proposes an implementation model for population of Geo-ontology from non-structured Web resources. The proposed model can populate instances for Web ontology independently of systems, and thus it enables a richer Web service development. Finally, this paper shows the prototype that populates instances including a Geo-ontology building example for a University selected as an application domain.

This paper proposes an ontology-based context aware system model for the purpose of storing and managing agricultural products using ubiquitous sensors to share and distribute information. In these days, according to penetrating ubiquitous technologies into our way of life, the importance of information is increasing gradually. The importance of ontology in a domain is getting as well. Therefore, this paper designs and build an ontology-based agricultural products warehouse model using context aware state information obtained by using wireless sensors. Also, it shows the result described by graphical ontology results to share common understanding on the structure of context information among users, devices and services to enable semantic interoperability owing to the information of the context aware state of the warehouse.

In order to cope with the rapidly changing product development environment, individual manufacturing enterprises are forced to collaborate with each other through establishing a virtual organization. In collaboration, designated organizations work together for mutual gain based on product data interoperability. However, product data interoperability is not fully facilitated due to semantic inconsistency among product data models of individual enterprises. In order to overcome the semantic inconsistency problem, this paper proposes a reference ontology, Reference Domain Ontology(RDO), and a methodology for product data interoperability with semantic consistency using RDO. RDO describes semantics of product data model and metamodel for all application domains in a virtual organization. Using RDO, application domains in a virtual organization can easily understand the product data models of others. RDO is agile and temporal such that it is created with the formation of a virtual organization, copes with changes of the organization, and disappears with the vanishment of the organization. RDO is built by a hybrid approach of top-down using a upper ontology and bottom-up based on the merging of ontologies of application domains in a virtual organization. With this methodology, every domain in a virtual organization can achieve product data model interoperability without model transformation.

Protein domain is the conserved unit of compact tree-dimensional structure and evolution, which carries specific function. Domains may appear in patterns in proteins, since they have been conserved through the evolution for functional formation of proteins. In this paper, we propose a formulated method for conservation analysis of domain combination based on association rule. Proposed method measures mutual dependency of domains in a combination, as well as co-occurrence frequency of them, which is conventionally used. Based on the method, we extracted conserve domain combinations in S.cerevisiae proteins and analyzed their functions based on Gene Ontology. From the results, we drew conclusions that domains in S.cerevisiae proteins form patterns whose members are highly affiliated to one another, and that extracted patterns tend to be associated with molecular function. Moreover, the results testified to proposed method superior to conventional ones for identifying domain combinations conserved for functional cooperation.

Useful emails influence on consumers' purchase behavior and activate them to visit retail stores. Regular contact with consumers by e-mail has positive effects on brand loyalty. However, email marketing has a limitation. Spam now accounts for over half of all e-mail traffic. The increase of email users has resulted in the dramatic increase of spam emails during the past few years. In this paper, we proposed an ontology-based system offering personalized email services to overcome such limitation. Our method is not the ontology-driven spam filtering, but a personalized content service considering personal interests and relations among people by using FOAF and domain ontologies. Our system was successfully tested in email marketing domain.

Due to recent explosion of information available online, question- answering (Q&A) systems are becoming a compelling framework for finding relevant information in a variety of domains. Question-answering system is one of the best ways to introduce a novice customer to a new domain without making him/her to obtain prior knowledge of its overall structure improving search request with specific answer. However, the current web poses serious problem for finding specific answer for many overlapped meanings for the same questions or duplicate questions also retrieved answer for many overlapped meanings fer the same questions or duplicate questions also retrieved answer is slow due to enhanced network traffic, which leads to wastage of resource. In order to avoid wrong answer which occur due to above-mentioned problem we propose the system using ontology by RDF, RDFS and mobile agent based on JAVA. We also choose wireless internet based embedded device as our test bed for the system and apply the system in E-commerce information domain. The mobile agent provides agent routing with reduced network traffic, consequently helps us to minimize the elapsed time for answers and structured ontology based on our proposed algorithms sorts out the similarity between current and past question by comparing properties of classes.
