INSTANCE PATH SEARCHING AND VISUALIZING METHOD AND DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to an instance path searching and visualizing method and device. The method includes (a) receiving at least two keywords and path search conditions, (b) generating instance pairs for the keywords and extracting each class pair corresponding to each instance pair from an ontology instance database, (c) obtaining each ontology scheme path for each class pair from an ontology scheme path database, (d) searching for each instance path corresponding to the path search condition by using each ontology scheme path, (e) outputting an instance path providing screen having the searched instance paths displayed, and (f) when a path search condition is changed through the instance path providing a screen, obtaining instance paths corresponding to the changed path search condition in order to visualize them. According to the present invention, a technique for searching for a path between scheme-based instances may be suggested to find diverse and complex linked relationships quickly, and a technique for visualizing a path between instances may be suggested to efficiently display a path between at least two instances.
