With the limited product information available in the m-shopping context, product-naming strategies affect consumer choices by expressing the key product features or the brand's images. Given the increasing dominance of the mobile commerce in consumption across various product categories, few studies have examined the role of product naming in consumer choices in the m-shopping. In filling the research gap, this study empirically analyzes the influence of the perceived diagnosticity of product names in m-shopping on consumer attitude towards the product. Moreover, the study tests the moderating influences of the individual characteristics of consumers (i.e., age, gender, and m-shopping experience) in the dynamics of the perceived diagnosticity impacting the product evaluations. The results of the study using an online survey reveal that the perceived diagnosticity of the product names significantly increases consumer attitude towards the product. Additionally, the moderating effects of gender, age, and m-shopping experience are all found significant: (1) The positive influence of the perceived diagnosticity of the product names is greater for males than for females. (2) The older the respondent, the more statistically significant the positive influence on diagnosticity. (3) The more respondents having m-shopping experience, the more positive the impact of the diagnosticity. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

In this study, 70 national brands among men's wear brands were selected to examine linguistic characteristics of domestic national men's wear brand names. Linguistic factors which were used in national men's wear brand names were analyzed to understand their characteristics. Formative and semantic characteristics of each brand name were analyzed on the basis of the results from previous studies. It was found that long words with over four syllables are preferred than short words and single words in the form of noun are frequently used for domestic national men's wear brand names in terms of linguistic formality. English is most widely used in brand names, and European languages such as French, Spanish, and Italian are also used frequently under the influence of the country of origin. Next, the analysis result on the semantic characteristics of domestic national men's wear brand names showed that descriptive brand names are used to convey brand information directly and easily, or freestanding brand names which are absolutely irrelevant and newly coined words are chosen to create a characteristic image. In other words, brand names represent detailed business and product category of men's wear by forming a brand image of men's wear (ex. Man, Homme, Zio), and provide the information about properties and benefits related to the product such as dignity, masterpiece, and luxurious lifestyle to consumers by presenting the concept of the brand.

This study used text mining to extract 2,842 keywords from 7,397 product names and organized them into categories in order to analyze the characteristics of keywords appearing in the product names of jeans after 2020. The item category included denim and Chungbaji [청바지], and Ilja [일자], while the silhouette category included wide and bootcut. In addition, high-waist and banding comprised the making sector, and the materials category consisted of napping, spandex, and soft blue. Denim surpassed the others in frequency, co-occurrence frequency, and centrality, and co-appeared with various other keywords. Also, the co-appearance of item and silhouette was prominent, and there were many keyword combinations that showed characteristics related to (a) high waist; (b) hemline detail; (c) rubber band; and (d) partial tearing. Furthermore, idiom expressions such as 'slim fit' and 'back tearing', which were not highlighted in the co-occurrence frequency, were additionally confirmed through correlation.

In this study, text mining was conducted on the product names of skirts, pants, shirts/blouses, and dresses to analyze the characteristics of keywords appearing in online shopping product names. As a result of frequency analysis, the number of keywords that appeared 0.5% or more for each item was around 30, and the number of keywords that appeared 0.1% or more was around 150. The cumulative distribution rate of 150 terms was around 80%. Accordingly, information on 150 key terms was analyzed, from which item, clothing composition, and material information were the found to be the most important types of information (ranking in the top five of all items). In addition, fit and style information for skirts and pants and length information for skirts and dresses were also considered important information. Keywords representing clothing composition information were: banding, high waist, and split for skirts and pants; and V-neck, tie, long sleeves, and puff for shirts/blouses and dresses. It was possible to identify the current design characteristics preferred by consumers from this information. However, there were also problems with terminology that hindered the connection between sellers and consumers. The most common problems were the use of various terms with the same meaning and irregular use of Korean and English terms. However, as a result of using co-appearance frequency analysis, it can be interpreted that there is little intention for product exposure, so it is recommended to avoid it.

In order to investigate this area, the study looked at the Interbrand Company's Name Spectrum, and the results are as follows.

일반적으로 사람들은 특정 상품에 관한 의견을 표현할 때 그 상품이 갖는 개별속성에 대해 긍부정 성향을 표시한다. 어떤 경우에는 상품이 갖는 동질의 개별 속성에 대해 포괄적으로 긍부정 성향을 표현하거나 상품 자체에 대해 표현하기도 한다. 따라서 의견검색 분야에서 추출 대상이 되는 의견 속성명에는 상품의 개별 속성명, 이 개별 속성들을 포함하는 전체어, 그리고 상품명이 존재한다. 그러나 의견 대상을 상품명이나 전체어로 표현할 때, 경우에 따라 의견문장 표면에 나타나는 속성명과 의견 작성자가 의도한 실제 대상이 일치하지 않을 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 의견문장으로부터 의견 대상을 추출하는 방법을 제시한다. 무엇보다 우리는 의도한 대상과 일치하지 않는 속성명으로부터 의도한 대상을 추출하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제시하는 방법에서는 단어간 의존관계를 이용하여 의견속성 후보쌍을 추출하고, 추출된 후보쌍들 중 의견 대상과 일반적으로 빈번히 불일치하는 속성명을 선택한다. 선택된 속성명을 작성자가 의도한 개별속성으로 변경한 뒤, 이를 포함한 전체 의견속성 후보쌍들로부터 적합한 의견속성을 추출하기 위해 사람들이 관심 있어할만한 순으로 재배열하게 된다.

상품검색은 고객들이 전자상거래의 접촉을 시작하는 인터페이스로서 매우 중요한 프로세스이다. 또한 전자상거래는 고객들에게 검색 시 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 프로세스를 제공하여야 한다. 특히 World Wide Web에서 상품정보는 광범위한 고객들이 신속하게 팽창하는 정보를 추적하기 위해서 통합과 표준화가 이뤄져야 한다. 상품 카탈로그(catalogue)에 대한 국제 표준화가 다양한 분야와 업종에서 구축되어져 왔는데, 요즈음은 UNSPSC((Universal Standard Products and Services Classification) 코드로의 수렴에 대한 논의가 활발해지고 있다. 이 표준을 채택하여 이 논문은 다국어상품검색 에이전트의 아키텍쳐(architecture)를 설계한다. 이 아키텍쳐는 중앙등록기 모델의 상품 카탈로그 관리를 기반으로 하여 분산처리의 update프로세스를 채택한다. 또한 이 아키텍쳐는 구매자 관점과 공급자 관점을 모두 고려한다. 상품정보의 일관성과 버전 관리는 UNSPSC코드 시스템에 의하여 제어된다. 고객이 사용하기 편리하도록 표준화에 포함되어져 있지 않은 상품명과 다국어 상품명은 Semantic Network, 시소러스(thesaurus)와 Semantic Web의 상품명 온톨로지 등을 활용하여 해결한다. 이를 위한 알고리즘들을 설계하고 또한 구현한다.
