Abstract

The domain of digital libraries is one of interdisciplinary fields since it contains various aspects of digital libraries. The main findings of digital library interdisciplinarity have been discussed in terms of contents, management and infrastructural technologies within the field of library and information science. The purpose of this study is to identify and widen the interdisciplinary structure of digital library domain by analyzing the collaborations from different disciplines. With 1,394 research articles of digital libraries from 1997 to 2010, the analysis of collaborations of authors from various disciplines was conducted. The results identified that three subject areas of authors such as Information science and library science, Computer science and Engineering were found as the centers to collaborate with various disciplines. In addition, sub-domains of digital library were recognized in terms of core digital library area, natural science area, medical related area and biology and medical area. The findings of this study depict the domain of digital libraries as a variety of subject areas since digital library domain is characterized with both research and practices.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 주요 기술인 상황인지는 환경을 구성하는 다양한 종류의 정보 기기로부터 전달되는 상황 정보를 이해하고 처리하며, 다양한 도메인에 유연하게 적용할 수 있는 상황인지 모델을 필요로 한다. 시맨틱 웹 기술 기반의 온톨로지는 구조화된 공통의 포맷을 이용하고 의미적인 정보의 표현이 가능하므로, 시스템이 상황 정보를 공유하고 이해, 추론함으로써 효과적인 상황인지가 가능하다. 따라서 온톨로지를 이용한 상황인지 모델이 여러 연구에서 제시되어 왔는데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존 연구들에 대한 분석을 바탕으로 상황인지 모델의 범용성과 확장성을 위해 온톨로지의 구조를 계층화하고 이를 기반으로 상황인지 시스템을 구현하여 실제 u-Convention 도메인에 적용하였다. 또한 OWL-DL의 기술논리와 SWRL 규칙 추론을 결합함으로써 복합적인 상황을 효과적으로 추론하는 방법을 제시하였다.

Abstract

Context-awareness as a key technology of ubiquitous computing needs a context model that understands and processes situational information coming from diverse sensors and devices, and can be applied diversely in various domains. Semantic web based ontologies use structured standard format and express meaning of information, so it is possible to recognize effectively context-awareness situations, allowing the system to share information and understand situation by inference. In this paper, we propose a layered ontology model to support generality and scaleability of the context-awareness system, and applied the model to u-Convention domain. In addition, we propose a effective reasoning method to handle compound situation by combining OWL-DL and SWRL rules.
