Abstract

Emerging Web 2.0 services such as Twitter, Blogs, and Wikis alongside the poorlystructured and immeasurable growth of information requires an enhanced information organization approach. Ontology has received much attention over the last 10 years as an emerging approach for enhancing information organization. However, there is little penetration into current systems. The purpose of this study is to propose ontology implementation and methodology. To achieve the goal of this study, limitations of traditional information organization approaches are addressed and emerging information organization approaches are presented. Two ontology data models, RDF/OW and Topic Maps, are compared and then ontology development processes and methodology with topic maps based medical information retrieval system are addressed. The comparison of two data models allows users to choose the right model for ontology development.

트위터, 블로그, 위키 등과 같은 web 2.0 서비스는 구조화가 덜 되어 있고, 정보량 폭증을 감당하기 어렵다는 한계를 갖고 있는 기존의 정보조직 방법을 향상시킬 것을 요구하고 있다. 이 같은 정보조직 방법을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안의 하나로 지난 10년간 온톨로지가 연구자의 주목을 받았음에도 불구하고 현행 시스템에까지 이것이 적극 활용되고 있지는 않은 것으로 보인다. 이 연구는 온톨로지 구축 및 방법론을 제안함으로써 향후 온톨로지의 방향성을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 이 연구는 기존의 정보조직 방법론의 한계점을 살펴보고, 온톨로지 표현을 위한 데이터 모델을 서로 비교하고 분석하였다. 또한 토픽맵 기반 의학 정보시스템을 통해 온톨로지 구축 단계 및 방법론을 기술하였다.
