Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Open data are considered the lifeline of artificial intelligence. Wikipedia is a source of important data for text analysis in the field of artificial intelligence, and ImageNet recognizes it as key data for image analysis based on deep learning. High-quality data are essential for implementing artificial intelligence. Governments and enterprises around the world provide large-scale open data to citizens and encourage free use. Recently, open data on COVID-19 have continuously been increasing, and efforts to analyze data and find new alternatives using artificial intelligence technology are also actively underway.

The purpose of this issue is to share research on open data and artificial intelligence technology and to explore new challenges. The main topics include an introduction to various policies, technologies, and standards for activating the use of open data, and applications by using open data and artificial intelligence technologies.

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a digital currency issued by a central bank. Motivated by the financial crisis and prospect of a cashless society, countries are researching CBDC. Recently, global consideration has been given to paying basic income to avoid consumer sentiment shrinkage and recession due to epidemics. CBDC is coming into the spotlight as the way to manage the public finance policy of nations comprehensively. CBDC is studied by many countries. The bank of the Bahamas released Sand Dollar. Each country’s central bank should consider the situation in which CBDCs are exchanged. The transaction of the CDDB is open data. Transaction registers CBDC exchange information of the central bank in the blockchain. Open data on currency exchange between countries will provide information on the flow of money between countries. This paper proposes a blockchain system and management method based on the ISO/IEC 11179 metadata registry for exchange between CBDCs that records transactions between registered CBDCs. Each country’s CBDC will have a different implementation and time of publication. We implement the blockchain system and experiment with the operation method, measuring the block generation time of blockchains using the proposed method. Full article

Despite the development of various technologies and systems using artificial intelligence (AI) to solve problems related to disasters, difficult challenges are still being encountered. Data are the foundation to solving diverse disaster problems using AI, big data analysis, and so on. Therefore, we must focus on these various data. Disaster data depend on the domain by disaster type and include heterogeneous data and lack interoperability. In particular, in the case of open data related to disasters, there are several issues, where the source and format of data are different because various data are collected by different organizations. Moreover, the vocabularies used for each domain are inconsistent. This study proposes a knowledge graph to resolve the heterogeneity among various disaster data and provide interoperability among domains. Among disaster domains, we describe the knowledge graph for flooding disasters using Korean open datasets and cross-domain knowledge graphs. Furthermore, the proposed knowledge graph is used to assist, solve, and manage disaster problems. Full article

Title: Current Status of Using Local Government’s Public Data Released to The Public Data Portal
Authors: Dongjum Kim, Hyunji Kim, Chaeun Song, Jiwoo Yang, and Haklae Kim
Abstract: The Korean government continues to disclose public data and is pursuing various policies for industrial use. However, although the government continues to release public data, the use of data is still limited. There are various issues in terms of data, such as low level of data quality and standards for data interlinking, and improvement of the process of identifying and opening data demand in a timely manner is also a topic to discuss. On the other hand, diagnosing whether public data that is already open is used is essential for establishing improvement directions. This paper evaluates data utilization by dividing the datasets on the public data portal into local governments and data classification. Data utilization is measured based on the number of inquiries and downloads of public data portals. This study diagnoses the use of public data provided by local governments, and proposes a plan to activate data utilization based on the diagnosis result.

Abstract: In recent years, using publicly available personal health records such as personal medical records and medication records provided by the government, the basis for creating health records for an individual's lifetime is being met. In this study, indirect personal health information, such as personal lifestyle, living environment, and family history, and personal medical records are clustered through common influence factors such as season and temperature, and through this, individual health records are classified. In order to compare and cluster various living environments and health events of different cycles, time series information of individuals is matched and patterns are normalized through Dynamic Time Warping technology. This study is expected to be used as a basis for securing the basis for the study of the constitution of modern precision medicine and oriental medicine.

Abstract: After the global pandemic, the application of Untact-based 4th Industrial Revolution technology is being promoted in various fields of society, and interest in the effectiveness of the ICT technology-based personal health management system is also emerging in the medical field. However, the clinical application of the ICT medical platform requires not only the advancement of technology, but also the verification of the effectiveness of clinical application, the usefulness of the presented information, and the convenience of stakeholders. The Personal Health Data Platform is a patient-centered personal health information management platform that supports the management of personal health information based on personal smartphones, web, and chatbots, and linking electronic medical records to hospitals. In this study, as a clinical implementation study to directly utilize the PGHD platform for treatment, the results of the three-way usefulness evaluation of 60 doctors, patients, and 360 healthy people are synthesized, and the ICT platform is utilized with the usefulness of patient information. A clinical applicability assessment is performed to determine whether an auxiliary care service is applicable to actual care. The derived results are expected to be used as a data analysis-based research for transition of Korean traditional medicine based on participatory medicine.
 
Title: Development of a knowledge graph-based user movement path tracking system using COVID-19 Open Data
Authors: Yang Hyejin, and Jangwon Gim
Emails: [email protected], [email protected]
Abstract: In the pandemic of Corona 19, epidemiological surveillance is essential to predict the spread of the Corona 19 virus. In particular, the rapid identification and tracking of the confirmed patient's movements play an important role in preventing the nth infection spread. However, the confirmed patient's path is private information about a specific individual and is limitedly shared with citizens. Therefore, after the epidemiological surveillance, it takes a certain amount of time for ordinary citizens to grasp the confirmed patient's path of movement and check whether there is a point of contact with the person's path. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system that can track the confirmed patient's path and check the information of the confirmed patient. Through knowledge graph-based modeling of corona 19 confirmed cases, it is possible to connect the confirmed case information and identify individual confirmed cases' movement path. Therefore, the proposed system supports the quick and accurate investigations of epidemiological investigation personnel. It is also possible to support quick response by allowing ordinary citizens to check whether their own travel path and the travel path of the confirmed patients have an intersection. As a result, the proposed system is expected to play a role in protecting private information and support the convenience and rapidity of epidemiological investigations, thereby contributing to corona 19 quarantine activities in the future.
 
Title: Development of Portable Atmospheric Environment Measurement System based on SOSA/SSN Ontology
Authors: Sukhoon Lee, Jangwon Gim
Emails: [email protected], [email protected]
Abstract: In the Internet of Things environment, most observational data from sensors are stored and managed in a relational database as simple values, but it is difficult to detect the relationship between systems, sensors, and data. This paper builds a data model based on SOSA and SSN ontologies for a portable atmospheric environment measurement system which is our previous research. As a result, it is possible to explicitly express information about data structure and the relationships in system and sensor, properties, and observation regions.

Abstract: Despite the development of various technologies and systems using artificial intelligence to solve the problem of disaster, it is still difficult challenges. Data is the foundation to solve diverse disaster problems using AI, big data analysis, and so on. Therefore, we need to focus on their various data. Disaster data depend on domain by type of disaster. In addition, it include heterogeneous data and lack interoperability. In particular, in the case of open data related to disasters, there is several issue that the source and format of each data are different because various data are collected by different organizations. Also, the vocabularies used for each domain are inconsistent. In this paper, we propose a knowledge graph for resolve heterogeneity among various disaster data and provide interoperability among domains. Among disasters domain, we describe the knowledge graph for flooding disaster using Korean open data sets and cross-domain knowledge graphs. Furthermore, the proposed knowledge graph is used to assist in solving and managing disaster problems.
