Abstract
A data processing technique is provided with improved convenience. A data processing apparatus includes: a concept tree setting unit 22 which sets a concept tree that indicates the user's purposes or intentions; a classification unit 24 which, based upon the concept tree, classifies a data set created by or acquired by the user; a book display unit 26 which displays the data set thus classified; a search request unit 28 which makes a request for a search using the concept tree or the data set classified based upon the concept tree as a query; and a search result acquisition unit 32 which acquires, as a result of the search, the data set classified based upon the concept tree.
Claims11
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a concept information setting unit which sets concept information that indicates a user's purposes or intentions;
- a storage unit which stores a data set created or acquired by the user;
- a classification unit which classifies the data set based upon the concept information;
- and
- a display unit which displays the data set thus classified.
A data processing method for instructing a computer to execute processing, wherein said processing comprises:
- setting a hierarchical tree by classifying a plurality of keywords that indicate a user's purposes or intentions;
- calculating a degree of similarity between each item of data included in a data set created by or acquired by the user and the keywords, and classifying the data that exhibits a higher degree of similarity with respect to a given keyword than a predetermined value under a node that corresponds to the given keyword, thereby classifying the data set in a hierarchical manner;
- and
- displaying the data set thus classified.
A computer program product comprising:
- a module which sets a hierarchical tree by classifying a plurality of keywords that indicate a user's purposes or intentions;
- a module which calculates a degree of similarity between each item of data included in a data set created by or acquired by the user and the keywords, and which classifies the data that exhibits a higher degree of similarity with respect to a given keyword than a predetermined value under a node that corresponds to the given keyword, thereby classifying the data set in a hierarchical manner;
- and
- a module which displays the data set thus classified.
A search apparatus comprising:
- a search request reception unit which receives a search request with concept information, including a hierarchical tree created by classifying a plurality of keywords that represent a user's purposes or intentions, as a query;
- a creation unit which searches for data based upon each keyword included in the concept information, and which classifies the data that exhibits a higher degree of similarity with respect to a given keyword than a predetermined value under a node that corresponds to the given keyword, thereby creating a data set classified in a hierarchical manner based upon the concept information;
- and
- a search result transmission unit which transmits the data set thus created as the search results.
A search apparatus comprising:
- a search request reception unit which receives a search request with concept information, including a hierarchical tree created by classifying keywords that represent a user's purposes or intentions, a data set classified in a hierarchical manner based upon the concept information, or the keywords, as a query;
- a search unit which searches for concept information or data sets analogous to the concept information, the data set, or the keywords thus received;
- and
- a search result transmission unit which transmits the concept information or the data set thus extracted as the search results.
