APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING AND VISUALIZING AN INSTANCE PATH USING AN INTER-CLASS RELATION

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for searching and visualizing an instance path is provided to efficiently display paths between instances through an inter-instance path search technique.;CONSTITUTION: An instance pair generator(210) creates by obtaining instances from an ontology instance database. A class pair generator(212) extracts the class pair corresponding to the instance pair. An ontology schema path obtainer(214) obtains the ontology schema path about the class pair. An instance path searcher(216) replaces the start and the end class with a first and a second instances and searches instance paths corresponding to the path search conditions among the connected instance paths.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
