In this paper, we propose a method of ontology-based control of autonomous robots. Advancing one step further from using ontology as a hierarchical storage of information, the proposed method shows how to control robots through ontology inference. That is, the information on obstacles detected by robots is represented as an ontology, and robots' action planning and control are performed according to robots' surroundings through ontology inference. We make a differentially driven robot and illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method via the experiment of the robot's navigation in real environment.

Ontology has an important role in semantic web to construct and query semantic data. When system make changes to ontologies, questions arise about versioning of these changes. Applying this changes on a dynamic environment is even more important. To apply these changes, change specification method is needed. Early studies show RDF-based syntax for the operations between old and new ontologies. When several ontology versions can be used for some query, if possible, using possible newest version ontology with prospective use is best way to process the query. Prospective use of ontology means using a newer version of an ontology with a data source that conforms to a more recent ontology. In this paper, for prospective use of ontology version, structure of change specification of class and property through several ontology versions is proposed. From this, efficient adaptive ontology version selection for a query can be possible. Algorithm for structure of version transition representation is proposed and simulation results show possible newest version number for queries.

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.

Although RDF ontologies might be expressed in XML tree model, existing methods for protection of XML documents are not suitable for securing RDF ontologies. The graph style and inference feature of RDF demands a new security model development. Driven by this goal, this paper proposes a new query-oriented model for the RDF ontology access control. The proposed model rewrites a user query using a three-layered ontology view. The proposal resolves the problem that the existing approaches should generate inference models depending on inference rules. Accessible ontology concepts and instances which a user can visit are defined as ontology views, and the inference view defined for controling an inference query enables a controlled inference capability for the user. This paper defines the three-layered view and describes algorithms for query rewriting according to the views. An implemented prototype with its system architecture is shown. Finally, the experiment and comparative evaluation result of the proposal and the previous approach is described.

This paper proposes a new implementational model based on the security model of Oracle for Web ontology. Recently, several access control models using relational database security model for access control to Web ontology have been developing, and one of the most representative access control model is the RAC model. However, the RAC model is based on the standard security model, and thus it does not provide a implementational model for practical relational database management systems. In this paper, we propose an implementational model based on Oracle which is widely used and providing various security policies. This paper shows the implementation and experimental evaluation. Especially, the proposed model uses the VPD security model of Oracle and support high application and usability.

This paper proposes a relational security model-based RDF Web ontology access control model. The Semantic Web is recognized as a next generation Web and RDF is a Web ontology description language to realize the Semantic Web. Much effort has been on the RDF and most research has been focused on the editor, storage, and inference engine. However, little attention has been given to the security issue, which is one of the most important requirements for information systems. Even though several researches on the RDF ontology security have been proposed, they have overhead to load all relevant data to memory and neglect the situation that most ontology storages are being developed based on relational database. This paper proposes a novel RDF Web ontology security model based on relational database to resolve the issues. The proposed security model provides high practicality and usability, and also we can easily make it stable owing to the stability of the relational database security model.

Semantic-based information retrieval techniques understand the meanings of the concepts that users specify in their queries, but the traditional semantic matching methods based on the ontology tree have three weaknesses which may lead to many false matches, causing the falling precision. In order to improve the matching precision and the recall of the information retrieval, this paper proposes a multi-agent improved semantic similarity matching algorithm based on the ontology tree, which can avoid the considerable computation redundancies and mismatching during the entire matching process. The results of the experiments performed on our algorithm show improvements in precision and recall compared with the information retrieval techniques based on the traditional semantic similarity matching methods.

The goal of this study is to develop knowledge representation method for the construction and evaluation of ontology for diagnosis in oriental medicine. To develop the expert system for decision making on diagnosis and treatment, the systematic and structural knowledge which can be processible in EMR(Electronic Medical Record) must be precedent, and the Computational Process which control the system as well. This study set up an ontology as a trial model to represent the oriental medical knowledge into the machine processible one. Protege 2.1 has been used to build the ontology, and the serialization format of our ontology is the XML document based on OWL. The components of oriental medical diagnosis was arranged with the combination of symptoms which belong to the certain symptom patterns. Then natural language which expresses the oriental medical diagnosis components were converted into the logical sentence, and individual characteristic symptoms into each values of specific properties. In addition to the study, the diagnosis software for oriental medicine was developed and it used the ontology which we developed. Sequently, we tested the software to confirm the appropriateness of ontology. The result of the test shows that diagnostic questions are automatically formulated according to the diagnosis components of this ontology and that as such diagnostic results are induced. Therefore, the ontology system in this study will be efficient to develop the diagnosis program and useful as a tool for doctors to make decision. But, it is not recommendable to apply the system to the clinical environment until the clear diagnosis standards are introduced, and the more reliable diagnosis program can be developed based on the more appropriate ontology mentioned above.

The Web Services descriptions such as DAML-S/OWL-S, BPEL4WS and WSMF focusing on the functional aspects of Web Services have limitations for the representation of the conceptual and semantic capabilities of Web Services, although WSMF is based on ontology and can represent the goal of Web Services. This paper proposes the new description formalism based on the competence ontology that can represent both functional and semantic aspects of Web Services. This paper also presents the integration and the composition of Web Services by means of Data Mediator(D-Mediator) and Control Mediator(C-Mediator) to mediate compositional in compatibility between heterogeneous Web Services.

A primitive conceptualization is defined as the set of all intended situations. A non-primitive conceptualization is defined as the set of all the pairs every of which consists of an intended knowledge system and the set of all the situations admitted by the knowledge system. The reality of a domain is considered as the set of all the situation which have ever taken place in the past, are taking place now and will take place in the future. A conceptualization is defined as precise if the set of intended situations is equal to the domain reality. The representation of various elements of a domain ontology in a model of the ontology is considered. These elements are terms for situation description and situations themselves, terms for knowledge description and knowledge systems themselves, mathematical terms and constructions, auxiliary terms and ontological agreements. It has been shown that any ontology representing a conceptualization has to be non-primitive if either (1) a conceptualization contains intended situations of different structures, or (2) a conceptualization contains concepts designated by terms for knowledge description, or (3) a conceptualization contains concept classes and determines properties of the concepts belonging to these classes, but the concepts themselves are introduced by domain knowledge, or (4) some restrictions on meanings of terms for situation description in a conceptualization depend on the meaning of terms for knowledge description.
