Information-linkage supporting apparatus and information-linkage supporting program

An information-linkage supporting program in an information linkage system in which a numerical control apparatus and a numerical-control-data storing apparatus are connected via a network, the numerical control apparatus including a machining unit that applies machining to a workpiece, a data memory that stores numerical control data to be used in the machining of the workpiece and a control unit that performs an arithmetic operation using data in the data memory and controls the machining unit, the numerical-control-data storing apparatus storing, as a database, data including the numerical control data used in the numerical control apparatus, the information linkage system performing information linkage to match the numerical control data between the numerical control apparatus and the numerical-control-data storing apparatus, the information-linkage supporting program creating information for information linkage retained by the numerical control apparatus and used for the information linkage,

• the information-linkage supporting program causing a computer apparatus connected to the information linkage system via the network to execute:
• a schema-information acquiring procedure for acquiring schema information, which is information concerning a configuration of the numerical control data stored by the numerical-control-data storing apparatus as a database, from the numerical-control-data storing apparatus;
• a memory-map-information acquiring procedure for acquiring memory map information, which is information concerning memory allocation in the data memory for the numerical control data stored by the numerical control apparatus in an inside thereof, from the numerical control apparatus;
• a mapping-table generating procedure for generating, on the basis of association instruction information inputted from an outside for instructing association between constituent elements of the schema information and constituent elements of the memory map information, a mapping table, which is information for the information linkage obtained by associating and mapping the constituent elements of the schema information and the constituent elements of the memory map information;
• and
• a mapping-table transmitting procedure for transmitting the mapping table to the numerical control apparatus.
