Totalization system and recording medium

Abstract

A totalization system for totalizing information to be totalized comprises a to-be-totalized information storage unit, a hierarchical information storage unit, and a computing unit. The to-be-totalized information storage unit (data division) stores information to be totalized. The hierarchical information storage unit (structure) stores hierarchical information used in totalizing the information to be totalized. The computing unit totalizes the information stored in the to-be-totalized information storage unit with a hierarchical structure according to the hierarchical information stored in the hierarchical information storage unit. Creating each of the information to be totalized and the hierarchical information separately eliminates the need to add classification information to the data division.
