Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A knowledge graph is a large network of entities, including their semantic types, properties, and the relationships between them. It ultimately facilitates the creation of information necessary for machines to understand the world in the manner that humans do. Companies that aim to serve intelligent services, such as Google, Microsoft, or IBM, are applying knowledge graphs widely to their real-world services. Obtaining a primary data source is critical to constructing a knowledge graph, since building new knowledge from scratch is by no means a trivial task. As we have already experienced, Wikipedia as an online encyclopedia in an open-data form, has been widely used for constructing new knowledge across a variety of domains. Recently, significant amounts of data have been published as open data in research, commercial and governments. These data can be a starting point for constructing a domain-specific knowledge graph through the interlinking of heterogeneous data. Furthermore, various methods and technologies in the field of data science play a critical role to analyzing large-scale data and to constructing a knowledge graph.

DSKG2019 (International Workshop on Data Science and Knowledge Graph) aims to share and discuss knowledge graph techniques based on open data both in academia and industries. In particular, this workshop focuses on various use cases, including data wrangling, data analysis, data visualization in the prospect of Data Science, and technical challenges to construct structured knowledge from large-scale raw data (focused on open data).

Curriculums play a key role in implementing the educational goals and directions of a university. Universities regularly update their curriculums to actively respond to internal and external environmental changes. Korean universities face challenges, including a steady decline in enrollment and demand-oriented convergence education. Because of the nature of convergence science, library and information science should respond more actively to new challenges. This study analyzes the current status of library and information science courses according to subjects and universities. Data was collected from the websites of each university, and various methods such as text analysis, frequency analysis, and network analysis were applied to investigate current status of LIS in Korea.

To cope with natural disasters and their impact, various types of risk assessment tools have been developed to assess hazards from a scientific point of view as well as the socioeconomic impacts of a hazardous event. Because most of the assessment tools have been developed using local and regional characteristics, there are limitations when applying special cases consisting of various disaster-related datasets in Korea. In this paper, we collected open data scattered among various institutions and guaranteed data interoperability through a standardization process considering various formats. In addition, this study presents a scalable design method and implementation of a database system which can be easily employed in Korean loss estimation due to natural hazards. The proposed database system will be of great help in predicting the disaster scale and degree of damage, in supporting decision-making to minimize damage, and could serve as a data platform of disaster risk reduction and prevention.

As the size of the domestic and international gaming industry gradually grows, various games are undergoing rapid development cycles to compete in the current market. However, selecting and recommending suitable games for users continues to be a challenging problem. Although game recommendation systems based on the prior gaming experience of users exist, they are limited owing to the cold start problem. Unlike existing approaches, the current study addressed existing problems by identifying the personality of the user through a personality diagnostic test and mapping the personality to the player type. In addition, an Android app-based prototype was developed that recommends games by mapping tag information about the user’s personality and the game. A set of user experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed mapping model and the recommendation prototype. Full article

In recent times, with the development of science and technology, new technologies have been rapidly emerging, and innovators are making efforts to acquire intellectual property rights to preserve their competitive advantage as well as to enhance innovative competitiveness. As a result, the number of patents being acquired increases exponentially every year, and the social and economic ripple effects of developed technologies are also increasing. Now, innovators are focusing on evaluating existing technologies to develop more valuable ones. However, existing patent analysis studies mainly focus on discovering core technologies amongst the technologies derived from patents or analyzing trend changes for specific techniques; the analysis of innovators who develop such core technologies is insufficient. In this paper, we propose a model for analyzing the technical inventions of applicants based on patent classification systems such as international patent classification (IPC) and cooperative patent classification (CPC). Through the proposed model, the common invention patterns of applicants are extracted and used to analyze their technical inventions. The proposed model shows that patent classification systems can be used to extract the trends in applicants’ technological inventions and to track changes in their innovative patterns. Full article
