- Information Society
..An information society means a society characterized by mass production, distribution and
..consumption of information. It is a society where the role of information is highly regarded, in other
..words, a society where the society itself becomes the subject of production, distribution and
..consumption of information and knowledge, changing itself into the system-oriented one by using
..computer. It is widely believed that in the 21st century IT will bring out fundamental changes in the
..whole gamut of the society, its culture and industries. That is why many countries across the
..world concentrate their resources on the development of IT and construction of computer-aided
..database.
- Computer and the Korean Language
.. If we want to communicate with computer, we need to give it a special ability similar with the
.. linguistic ability of human beings and, then, put in language information in the form compre-
.. hensible by the computer. To have a computer with such linguistic ability, we also need to
.. provide it with rules of language and other devices that are required for use inthe computer.
.. In this context, the task of implanting the complex mechanism of creating and comprehending a
.. variety of languages and signs in the computer involves the process of collecting linguistic data
.. (such as words, knowledge and grammar), systematizing and reflecting a variety of language
.. usages in it.
.. Thus, the project of constructing Korean Language Information-Oriented Project (KLIOP) involves
.. the process of three stages; collecting a large scale data of Korean language, providing the
.. computer with language processing ability, and applying the result to the language information
.. business, makers of products such as machine translation and voice sensor systems. This new
.. business area is widely believed to be highly profitable in the information age.
