Abstract

A data management apparatus comprises a data registration section that registers data in a plurality of different databases storing data related to a common management target, and a data association section that associates first data registered in one of the plurality of databases with second data, the second data being registered in a database other than the database that stores the first data, being related to the same management target with the first data, and having a predetermined correspondence with the first data, wherein the predetermined correspondence is a relation in which one data is derived from the other data.

Claims

1. A data management apparatus comprising:

a data registration section that registers data in a plurality of different databases storing data related to a common management target; and

a data association section that associates first data registered in one of the plurality of databases with second data, the second data being registered in a database other than the database that stores the first data, being related to the same management target with the first data, and having a predetermined correspondence with the first data, wherein

the predetermined correspondence is a relation in which one data is derived from the other data.

2. The data management apparatus according to claim 1, comprising a notification section that performs a predetermined notification to a user having authority to permit or forbid a data registration or update registration when the data registration or update registration is performed by the data registration section,

when a predetermined answer related to the permission or forbiddance is not returned from a first user even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the predetermined notification was performed, the notification section performing the predetermined notification to a second user having the same level of authority or having the authority to conduct a process to be performed next to the process to be performed based on the authority of the first user, if exists.

3. The data management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the notification section performs a predetermined notification to a predetermined address at a predetermined timing after the data registration or data update registration has been performed by the data registration section.

4. The data management apparatus according to claim 1, comprising an information generation section that generates information based on data to be newly registered or registered for update when the data registration or update registration is performed by the data registration section.

5. The data management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the notification section performs a predetermined notification in the case where data registration or update registration performed by the data registration section causes a contradiction in a predetermined correspondence between first data to be newly registered or registered for update with second data, the second data being stored in a database other than the database that the first data is to be registered in and being related to the same management target with the first data.

6. The data management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of databases constitute a relational database.

7. A data management method comprising:

a data registration step that registers data in a plurality of different databases storing data related to a common management target; and

a data association step that associates first data registered in one of the plurality of databases with second data, the second data being registered in a database other than the database that stores the first data, being related to the same management target with the first data, and having a predetermined correspondence with the first data, wherein

the predetermined correspondence is a relation in which one data is derived from the other data.

8. The data management method according to claim 7, comprising a notification step that performs a predetermined notification to a user having authority to permit or forbid a data registration or update registration when the data registration or update registration is performed in the data registration step,

when a predetermined answer related to the permission or forbiddance is not returned from a first user even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the predetermined notification was performed, the notification step performing the predetermined notification to a second user having the same level of authority or having the authority to conduct a process to be performed next to the process to be performed based on the authority of the first user, if exists.

9. The data management method according to claim 7, wherein

the notification step performs a predetermined notification to a predetermined address at a predetermined timing after the data registration or data update registration has been performed in the data registration step.

10. The data management method according to claim 7, comprising an information generation step that generates information based on data to be newly registered or registered for update when the data registration or update registration is performed in the data registration step.

11. The data management method according to claim 7, wherein

the notification step performs a predetermined notification in the case where data registration or update registration performed in the data registration step causes a contradiction in a predetermined correspondence between first data to be newly registered or registered for update with second data, the second data being stored in a database other than the database that the first data is to be registered in and being related to the same management target with the first data.

12. The data management method according to claim 7, wherein the plurality of databases constitute a relational database.

13. A data management program allowing a computer to execute:

a data registration step that registers data in a plurality of different databases storing data related to a common management target; and

a data association step that associates first data registered in one of the plurality of databases with second data, the second data being registered in a database other than the database that stores the first data, being related to the same management target with the first data, and having a predetermined correspondence with the first data, wherein

the predetermined correspondence is a relation in which one data is derived from the other data.

14. The data management program according to claim 13, comprising a notification step that performs a predetermined notification to a user having authority to permit or forbid a data registration or update registration when the data registration or update registration is performed in the data registration step,

when a predetermined answer related to the permission or forbiddance is not returned from a first user even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the predetermined notification was performed, the notification step performing the predetermined notification to a second user having the same level of authority or having the authority to conduct a process to be performed next to the process to be performed based on the authority of the first user, if exists.

15. The data management program according to claim 13, wherein

the notification step performs a predetermined notification to a predetermined address at a predetermined timing after the data registration or data update registration has been performed in the data registration step.

16. The data management program according to claim 13, comprising an information generation step that generates information based on data to be newly registered or registered for update when the data registration or update registration is performed in the data registration step.

17. The data management program according to claim 13, wherein

the notification step performs a predetermined notification in the case where data registration or update registration performed in the data registration step causes a contradiction in a predetermined correspondence between first data to be newly registered or registered for update with second data, the second data being stored in a database other than the database that the first data is to be registered in and being related to the same management target with the first data.

18. The data management program according to claim 13, wherein the plurality of databases constitute a relational database.
