As a fundamental knowledge source in a global learning environment, it is feasible to apply the relational database management systems (RDBMS), object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS), and other traditional DBMS. However, the traditional DBMSs are not feasible in semantic knowledge/ontology representation and inference. One of the reasonable ways to overcome the limitations is the semantic web-based business support framework. Especially, in this study, we focused on the development of semantic web ontology and natural language (NL)-based inference framework. To validate the efficiency of the proposed framework, we considered a reasonable scenario for course recommendation in a university.

We design and implement an ORDBMS-based geographic information system for sightseeing information of Chungbuk to verify the performance and applicability of GEUS/XTM ORDBMS. We Acquire the positional coordinates of the boundaries of administrative districts , roads, and railroads, determine the various kinds of information such as the locations of sightseeing sites, lodgings, and so on, design an object-relational schema using OMT, and implement the geographic information system including a database system. Through the examination of selective accessibility on the sightseeing inform ation database by the various queries, we conclude that the ORDBMS is more applicable than other DBMSs in modeling, storing, referring, and managing of non-fixed complex data such as sightseeing information. Therefore, ORDBMSs provide efficient and extensible implementations of databases and information services from various sources for the increasing demand on geographic information service on internet.

Conventional ORDBMS vendors provide extension mechanisms for adding user-defined types and functions to their own DBMSs. Here, the extension mechanisms are implemented using a high-level interface. We call this technique loose-coupling. The advantage of loose-coupling is that it is easy to implement. However, it is not preferable for implementing new data types and operations in large databases when high Performance is required. In this paper, we propose to use the notion of tight-coupling to satisfy this requirement. In tight-coupling, new data types and operations are integrated into the core of the DBMS engine. Thus, they are supported in a consistent manner with high performance. This tight-coupling architecture is being used to incorporate information retrieval(IR) features and spatial database features into the Odysseus/IR ORDBMS that has been under development at KAIST/AITrc. In this paper, we introduce Odysseus/IR and explain its tightly-coupled IR features (U.S. patented). We then demonstrate a web search engine that is capable of managing 20 million web pages in a non-parallel configuration using Odysseus/IR.

This study attempts at building a GIS computing environment that incorporates object-relational spatio-temporal database for the time geography model with space-time path, space-time prism and space-time accessibility. The proposed computing environment is composed of ( i ) mobile GIS application for collecting spatio-temporal trajectory data of an individual, ( ii ) spatio-temporal database server that includes time geography model, and (iii) geovisualization client that performs time geographic queries to the spatio-temporal database. The spatio-temporal trajectory data collected by GPS-PDA client is automatically processed and sent to server through data management middleware. The spatio-temporal database implemented by extending a generic DBMS provides spatio-temporal objects, functions, and SQL. The geovisualization client illustrates 3D visual results of the queries about space-time path, space-time prism, and space-time accessibility. This study confirms the possibility of integrating mobile GIS and DBMS for time geography model, and it presents the appropriate database model with spatio-temporal objects and functions that may handle very large data for time geography application.

OGC(Open GIS Consortium) suggests the 'OpenGIS Simple Feature Specification for CORBA' which is the OpenGIS implementation specification for CORBA to specify standard interfaces for reuse and interoperation among distributed heterogeneous GIS resources in the CORBA distributed computing environment. An OpenGIS server that supports this implementation specification moat correctly implement all interfaces defined in the OpenGIS implementation specification to be interoperable with wrapped GISs efficiently. In this paper, we have designed and implemented an OpenGIS server based an object relational GIS, called GEUS that integrates GIS and database technologies to provide spatial data types and spatial operators from the DBMS engine level. In the CORBA distributed computing environment, clients can access geospatial data stored in GIS wrapped by the OpenGIS server through the standard interfaces defined in the OpenGIS implementation specification for CORBA. In addition, clients can use geospatial operation features provided by a back-end GIS and interoperate with other GISs.

외부 조인은 조인에 참여하는 릴레이션들에서 조인 조건을 만족하지 않는 한쪽 또는 양쪽 튜플들도 결과로 반환하는 조인 연산으로 OLAP 질의 처리, 계층적 뷰 처리, 중첩 질의 처리 등의 다양한 고급 데이타베이스 응용에서 널리 사용된다. 많은 상용 DBMS에서 외부 조인을 지원하고 있으나, 상세한 구현 방법은 공개되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 한국과학기술원 멀티미디어 및 데이타베이스 연구실에서 개발하고 있는 오디세우스 객체관계형 DBMS를 위한 외부 조인을 설계하고 구현한다. 본 논문에서는 거의 모든 DBMS에서 제공 되는 가장 기본적인 조인 방법인 중첩 루프 조인 알고리즘을 확장하여 외부 조인 연산을 구현한다. 그리고, 외부 조인이 포함된 질의를 최적화하기 위해 조인 연산의 결과를 임시 릴레이션에 저장하는 대신에 다음 조인 연산의 입력으로 파이프라이닝시키는 것을 최대화 하는 방법을 제안한다.

As XML has become an emerging standard for information exchange on the World Wide Web it has gained attention in database communities to extract information from XML seen as a database model. Recently, many researchers have addressed the problem of storing XML data and processing XML queries using traditional database engines. Here, most of them have used relational database systems. In this paper, we show that OODBSs can be another solution. Our technique generates an OODB schema from DTDs and processes XML queries, Especially, we show that the semi-structural part of XML data can be represented by the 'inheritance' and that this can be used to improve query processing.
