Due to progress in information technologies, particularly emergence of electronic journals, scholarly communication is drastically changing. Besides current information environment we have seen is a distributed information one where repositories of publishers, abstracting & indexing services, local/consortial repositories & aggregators are located. On the other hand very stable and fulfilled information searching tools are available including standardized webs as searching tool, browsers as interface, HTTP technologies, standardized languages. Under such situations to build an information system by integrating those information resources and incorporating those tools is a big issue not only for information personnel but also for system designers to meet individual needs of organizations they are affiliated with. Here is XML technologies which enable to link resources and make an effective integrated information system. The speaker of this lecture describes the following items; change in scholarly communication, distributed information environment, details of XML technologies, metadata and linking technologies, trends or future of publishers and libraries of which roles are intermediary in scholarly communication, and Illinois Testbed Project, large-size journal full text project.

We propose new knowledge management system, which is based on ontology engineering and XML technology, for manufacturing field. The purpose of this system is to support to externalize implicit functional knowledge of a product that a designer creates, to share the knowledge among those who are involved in the product development, and utilize the knowledge for any designer to collaboratively create or invent new products. It is true, however, there are not a few superior design tool such as CAD/CAE software, simulation tools, etc. Though such tools are indispensable to complete a product, they are insufficient to reveal design rational of a designer that indicates the reason why he/she adopted the function, the structure, materials, etc. Ontology engineering contributes to clarify design rational of any designer by describing a function decomposition tree (hereinafter FDT), which has the specific feature of separating function and way, that is a kind of tree to show functional structure based on device ontology and functional ontology. While the functional modeling framework is independent to any data representation infrastructure, XML has a synergy with the framework because of being able to handle semantics of the framework such as subject, object, function, etc. In addition to the semantic view point, XML also has flexibility to compound a document from multiple information fragments, so that it allows FDT to adapt to any application of manufacturing tasks. From those view point, we created OntoGear which is the foundation system that supports a designer or developer to author, share, and use FDT by using xfy technology that JustSystems, Corp. has developed as an XML application development framework.

Recently, it is strongly demanded to search XML documents efficiently. Storing XML documents into a relational database is one of good approaches. A number of methods have been proposed to handle the XML parent-children relationship within the relational model. However, these methods do not well consider update operations. To reduce the cost of insertions, several methods keep intervals between labeling numbers, but they require whole database reconstruction when the intervals are used up. We have proposed the Variable Length Endless Insertable (VLEI) code to reduce the cost of reconstruction. In this paper, we propose methods to apply the VLEI code to XML labeling methods, preorder-postorder and Dewey order methods, and compare their performance for search and insertion operations.

本論文では、言語習得・使用に関する規則の種類を整理し、Chomskyの言語哲学とも、私たちの日常的体験とも整合する規則論を提示し、第二言語習得におけるコミュニケーション経験の必然性について論考する。1ではKrashen以降の規則論を検討し、(1)「コミュニケーションの学びは、基本的にはコミュニケーションを重ねることではないのか」、(2)「形と意味を結びつける規則には意識的なものもあるのではないのか」という問題点を提示する。2では(2)の問題点を解決する新しい規則論を展開する。3では「発話規則」の実践上の問題を考える中で、(1)の主張が、単なるトートロジーを超えて、正しく妥当なものであることを論証する

Recently, many messages are exchanged through the Internet such as e-mails, BBSs (bulletin board system), and Web sites. As these messages are semistructured data and in the almost same form, messages in the same source are frequently converted into another form as in mailing-list archives. However there is no standard format. In this paper, we propose a unified format and message box of various messages, which are semantically same but syntactically different, on the Internet. The format is based on XML from a wide-use point of view. Furthermore, we propose some applications such as cooperation with Web services and message sharing based on RSS (RDF site summary).

The main aim of this paper is to propose an appropriate logical system that is suitable to describe the notion of IS-A link as well as is-a link. The most important point to be realized is that those relations are not set thoretical ones. They connect two 'general names' to construct a proposition, so that what is needed for proper descriptions of the relations in question is a theory of general names. It will be shown that is-a is a logical unit of axiomatically determined behaviour. The axiom concerning is-a relation was established by S. Leśniewski who named his theory of general names ontology. Today 'ontology' has also become a common term for AI researchers. I intend to make it clear that there is a close connection between 'ontology' used by Leśniewski and by AI researchers, even though they developed quite independently. I wish to stress that ontology created by Leśniewski is a system of syllogistic equipped with singular propositions and the theory of quantification. To make this point clear, I proposed a fragment of syllogism that I called MO(minimal ontology). This paper includes comments and examples articulating the logical power of ontology.

This article sheds light on principles of human-human communication such as everyday conversation. Traditional views of communication generally have the following four principles in common: communication is (i) based on information transfer, (ii) the participants' intentions, (iii) co-presence among participants, and (iv) actions. These principles, however, actually often obfuscate various phenomena and distort their descriptions and explanations. This articles shows this concretely through an observation of modern spoken Japanese. Then, a more useful view of communication is elicited that captures communication as a part of participants' lives based on a consciousness that states, "My co-presence with others is mutually acknowledged by others."
