System and method for data processing

A data processing system in which data to be processed is managed as processing-object data, and the processing-object data is processed in response to a designation, comprising:

• data management means for managing the processing-object data together with processing-object attribute information indicative of an attribute thereof;
• processing designation means for designating a processing with respect to the processing-object data through a dialog performed with the user;
• data editing means for performing a combining processing in which the processing-object data, which serves as combine-source, is combined with other processing-object data, which serves as combine-destination;
• and
• second processing result forecasting means for forecasting, when the dialog is performed, a result of the processing by comparing the processing-object attribute information of combine-destination with the processing-object attribute information of combine-source, and for outputting to the user forecast notification information in accordance with the result of the processing thus forecasted.

A data processing method in which data to be processed is managed as processing-object data, and the processing-object data is processed in response to a designation, comprising:

• managing the processing-object data together with processing-object attribute information indicative of an attribute thereof by using data management means;
• designating a processing with respect to the processing-object data through a dialog performed with the user;
• executing a processing of the processing-object data in response to a designation performed by the processing designation means;
• and
• executing a forecast, which is executed by first processing result forecasting means when the dialog is performed, on a result of the processing by comparing processing-subject attribute information, which indicates an attribute of a processing to be executed by the processing execution means, with the processing-object attribute information, and outputting to the user forecast notification information in accordance with the result of the processing obtained through the forecast.

• designating a processing with respect to the processing-object data through a dialog performed with the user;
• executing the processing with respect to the processing-object data, the processing being executed by processing execution means in response to the designation of a processing executed by the processing designation means;
• executing a combine processing, which is executed by data editing function unit in response to the designation executed by the processing designation means, for combining the processing-object data with other processing-object data in a manner that the former and latter processing-object data are determined as combine-source and combine-destination, respectively;
• and
• executing, when the dialog is performed, a forecast on a result of the processing by comparing the processing-object attribute information of combine-destination with the processing-object attribute information of combine-source, the forecast being performed by data editing function unit in response to a designation executed by the processing designating means, and outputting to the user forecast notification information in accordance with the result of the processing obtained through the forecast.
