Abstract

The researchers attempted to develop a way to extract a near real-time online nation image using social media. Referring to previous studies about nation images and the categories defined in Wikipedia, an ontology considering the characteristics of nation image was constructed. Separately, data sets from various social media were compared and the click view of Wikipedia English-edition was selected. The ontology was applied to the recent six years of the data extracted of the three big exporting countries of the east Asia, China, Japan, and Korea. To compare the nation images, correspondence analysis was employed to show images in the area of politics, society, culture, and economy. The nation images extracted are indeed the reasonable representation of them. The researchers verified them to a few known government policies and confirmed that it could be used to help government officers to make foreign policies to boost nation's export and to employ as a key performance index for them.

본 연구에서 우리는 인터넷 상에서 경쟁국과의 경쟁력을 제고 할 수 있는 국가정책 수립이나 국가정책 수행 평가 등에 사용할 수 있는 실시간으로 국가이미지를 추출하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 여러 선행연구와 위키피디아에 정의된 카테고리를 참고하여 온라인 특성을 고려한 국가이미지에 대한 온톨로지 구축하였다. 이렇게 구축된 온톨로지는 국가이미지를 위한 소셜미디어를 장단점을 고려하여 선택된 영어판 위키피디아 상에서 최근 6년간 한중일 삼국의 국가이미지를 추출하는데 적용되었다. 추출된 삼국의 국가이미지의 차이를 시각화하여 분석하기 위하여 대응분석 (correspondence analysis)으로 한 중 일 3국 간의 정치, 사회, 문화, 경제 인지도 간의 상대적인 관련성을 표현하고 분석하였다. 삼국의 이미지 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 대응분석을 이용한 삼국의 이미지 분석 결과 각 나라를 대표하는 이미지가 합리적으로 도출되었음이 확인되었다. 또한 과거 정책의 변화와 이미지 변화를 검증한 결과 정책의 변화의 성공과 실패를 검증할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 국가정책 수립이나 수행평가 등에 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
