  • In this paper, we propose ontology-based recommendation system for supporting maintenance of Korean architectural heritage. This study includes the following: 1) design of ontology expressing repair information of architectural heritage, 2) creation of repair case DB, 3) creation of a recommendation system of repair method. For this study, we designed the ontology that expresses the information of Korean wooden building cultural heritage by referring to the existing heritage ontologies. Second, we created the repair information database based on the repair contents and the expert interview data provided by the National Institute of Cultural Heritage and the Cultural Heritage Administration. Third, we developed a system that recommends the repair method of Korean wooden architectural heritage with the most similar phenomena and causes. This study contributes to sharing repair knowledge and determining repair methods for architectural heritage repair.

  • This study aims to develop ontologies regarding cultural knowledge of Thai-Khmer textiles by applying the Knowledge Engineering Methodology to build upon the ontologies. The process includes 1) generating the ontologies' objectives, 2) building ontologies, and 3) evaluating the ontologies. The researchers used OntOlogies Pitfall Scanner (OOPS!) to minimize defects and asked two experts to evaluate the ontologies' design. Protégé was used to design the ontologies, and WIDOCO was used to present the ontologies through the World Wide Web. It was found that the developed ontology consists of two classes, 16 sub-classes, and 16 relationships. The ontologies assessment found that there were seven items to fix according to the OOPS! software. Apart from the assessment program, the experts mentioned that all five aspects were suitable; namely, the ontology design was evaluated at 4.51 (Likert), the process of identifying scopes of definitions and objectives of development was 4.61, the applications and guidelines for further development was 4.58, the process of forming classes was 4.53, and the process of generating class's properties was 4.50.

  • An ontology as the core element of Semantic Web is a formal specification of a conceptualization of shared domain knowledge. The use of well-defined ontologies can increase the quality of interoperable information systems in the area of Semantic Web. However, in practice, it is not easy to develop high-quality ontologies which have no errors. Therefore, with methodologies for ontology design, various methods or tools for ontology analysis supporting for error-detection might be very helpful for ontology developers. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for analyzing the core constructs of ontology based on the Formal Concept Analysis and develop a tool that supports error-checking ontologies. Our approach can serve not only as a guidance to modify the existing ontologies, but also as a valuable tool in developing high-quality ontologies.

  • As the multimedia information retrieval system is advanced, the study of multimedia information retrieval is changing the method of low-level content based image retrieval to the semantical concept based retrieval. in this paper, we apply the theory of ontology to overcome the conceptual heterogeneity in the annotation based image retrieval. And we solve the some problems that happen when the ontology apply. As a result of our study, we try to apply the domain ontology to settle the conceptual heterogenity. In the experimental result, we knew that the semantic distance among the words is pretty dose when we apply the domain ontology than the wordnet. And in this paper, we show the possibility of the semantic image retrieval as we apply the domain ontology in the annotation based image retrieval.

  • This study describes the Bottom-up method for implementation of an ontology system from the RDB. The STNet, a structured terminology glossary based on RDB, was served as a test bed for converting to RDF ontology, for generating the inference rules, and for evaluating the results of the semantic search. We have used protege editor of the ontology developing tool to design ontologies with test data. We also tested the designed ontology with the Inference Engine (Pellet) of protege editor. The generated reference rules were tested by TBox and SPARQL queries through STNet ontology. The results of test show that the generated reference rules were verified as true and STNet ontology were also evaluated to be useful for searching the complex combination of semantic relation.

  • To provide dynamic services for users in ubiquitous computing environments by considering context in real-time, in our previous work we proposed Metaservice concept, the description specification and the process for building a Metaservice library. However, our previous process generates separated models - UML, OWL, OWL-S based models - from each step, so it did not provide the established method for translation between models. Moreover, it premises aid of experts in various ontology languages, ontology editing tools and the proposed Metaservice specification. In this paper, we design the translation process from domain ontology in OWL to Metaservice Library in OWL-S and develop a visual tool in order to enable non-experts to generate consistent models and to construct a Metaservice library. The purpose of the Metaservice Library translation process is to maintain consistency in all models and to automatically generate OWL-S code for Metaservice library by integrating existing OWL model and Metaservice model.

  • The rough design information is only available from BIM(Building Information Model) based schematic design. So, it is difficult to obtain sufficient information for generating BOQ. Like 2D design, there are some problems that the results are depend on what the choice of cost estimator. However, the most research of BIM based cost estimation are focus on quantity takeoff, the consideration of work item for generating BOQ is insufficient. Therefore, this paper present automatic inference process of work items in a BOQ using ontology. The proposed process and ontology is validated through applying tiling construction. If the proposed process is utilized, it is expected the basis of developing generation method for consistent BOQ by resolving intervention of cost estimator's arbitrary decision.

  • This paper proposes a ontology of tree structure approach for adaptive object recognition in a situation-variant environment. In this paper, we introduce a new concept, ontology of tree structure ontology, for context sensitivity, as we found that many developed systems work in a context-invariant environment. Due to the effects of illumination on a supreme obstinate designing context-sensitive recognition system, we have focused on designing such a context-variant system using ontology of tree structure. Ontology can be defined as an explicit specification of conceptualization of a domain typically captured in an abstract model of how people think about things in the domain. People produce ontologies to understand and explain underlying principles and environmental factors. In this research, we have proposed context ontology, context modeling, context adaptation, and context categorization to design ontology of tree structure based on illumination criteria. After selecting the proper light-ontology domain, we benefit from selecting a set of actions that produces better performance on that domain. We have carried out extensive experiments on these concepts in the area of object recognition in a dynamic changing environment, and we have achieved enormous success, which will enable us to proceed on our basic concepts.

  • The objective of this thesis is to improve the quality of a software product based on the enhancement of a software design quality using a better error detecting method. Also, this thesis is based on a software design method called as MOA(Methodology for Object to Agents) which uses an ontology based ODES(A Method based on Ontology for Detecting Errors in the Software Design) model as a common information model. At this thesis, a new format of error detecting method was defined. The method is implemented during a transformation process from UML model to ODES model using a ODES model, a Inter-View Inconsistency Detection technique and a combination of ontologic property of consistency framework and related rules. Transformation process to ODES model includes lexicon analysis and meaning analysis of a software design using of multiple mapping table at algorithm for the generation of ODES model instance.
