Abstract

We designed a structured folksonomy system in which queries can be expanded through tag control; equivalent, synonym or related tags are bound together, in order to improve the retrieval efficiency (recall and precision) of image data. Then, we evaluated the proposed system by comparing it to a tag-based system without tag control in terms of recall, precision, and user satisfaction. Furthermore, we also investigated which query expansion method is the most efficient in terms of retrieval performance. The experimental results showed that the recall, precision, and user satisfaction rates of the proposed system are statistically higher than the rates of the tag-based system, respectively. On the other hand, there are significant differences among the precision rates of query expansion methods but there are no significant differences among their recall rates. The proposed system can be utilized as a guide on how to effectively index and retrieve the digital content of digital library systems in the Library 2.0 era.

본 연구는 이미지의 시맨틱 검색을 위해서 동등어, 동의어 및 관련어를 질의 확장시에 사용하여 태그를 통제한 구조화된 폭소노미 시스템의 모형을 제안하였다. 그런 다음 제안한 시스템의 효율성을 평가하기 위해서 실험을 통해서 이 시스템을 태그를 전혀 통제하지 않은 태그 기반 시스템과 검색 효율성(재현율과 정확률)과 만족도 측면에서 비교해 보았다. 이외에 검색 효율성이 질의 확장 방식에 따라서 어떤 차이를 보이는지 조사해 보았다. 실험 결과, 제안된 구조화된 폭소노미 시스템이 태그 기반 시스템 보다 재현율, 정확률 및 만족도에서 더 높게 나타났으며 그 차이도 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 한편 질의 확장 방식에 따라서 재현율은 차이가 없었지만 정확률은 부분적으로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 라이브러리 2.0 시대의 디지털 도서관 시스템에 적용되어 디지털 자원에 대한 접근성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.
