Abstract

A database managing module that is an order issuer server device or an order acceptor server device separately manages content data and management data of transaction slip data. Content data is a main text of a slip. Management data is extracted from the content data and used for searching the content data. Content data and management data are correlated with a document identifier uniquely assigned to the content data. When content data that is sent to a particular company is extracted from a large amount of content data, it is searched for management data with a key of the company name. Relevant content data is extracted corresponding to a document identifier of the extracted management data. The content data is transferred to the company.

Claims

1. A managing apparatus for managing a transaction slip data document used in electronic commerce with a database device, comprising:

a data extracting unit extracting data as a search item of the transaction slip data document therefrom;

a storing unit storing the data extracted by said data extracting means as management data in correlation with the transaction slip data;

a transaction slip data extracting unit searching the management data so as to extract correlated transaction slip data; and

a transmitting unit transmitting the transaction slip data extracted by said transaction slip data extracting unit.

2. The managing apparatus as set forth in

claim 1

,

wherein the correlation between the management data and the transaction slip data is managed with a document identifier that is common therebetween.

3. The managing apparatus as set forth in

claim 1

, further comprising:

a receiving unit receiving the transmitted transaction slip data; and

a converting unit converting the format of the received transaction slip data into a format with which a transmission destination can deal.

4. The managing apparatus as set forth in

claim 1

,

wherein the designation of a search item as the management data is dynamically changeable.

5. The managing apparatus as set forth in

claim 4

,

wherein the transaction slip data document is an XML document, and

wherein a search item is dynamically changed by changing the designation of an extraction of an item corresponding to a tag of the XML document.

6. A record medium for storing a program that causes a computer as an information apparatus to manage a transaction slip data document used in electronic commerce with a database device, the program comprising:

(a) extracting data as a search item of the transaction slip data document therefrom;

(b) storing the data extracted at step (a) as management data in correlation with the transaction slip data;

(c) searching the management data so as to extract correlated transaction slip data; and

(d) transmitting the transaction slip data extracted at step (c).
