Abstract

By collecting or creating information written in a specific descriptive system, making a real model defining the concept handled in the organization activity, analyzing the domain for defining the words by stratifying each concept on the model of each basic concept of at least person, organization, article, document, meeting and event for composing the organization activity, analyzing the sentence pattern for defining the context by stratifying on the model of the concept of action, and by fitting and integrating the word defined by domain analysis and sentence pattern analysis into the context, a logical model corresponding to the real model is created. Thereby an organization activity database, in which information about various events necessary for organization activity and information of achievements resulting organization activity are integrated, is constructed.

Claims

1. A constructing method of organization activity database, which managing the organization activity with use of a database management system operating on the hardware, comprising steps of:

for a real model in which plural concepts including concept of action handled in the organization activity are defined,

defining each concept by stratifying all concepts handled in the organization activity in which plural basic concepts composing the organization activity are made to be highest stratum, and

defining each sentence pattern by arranging and integrating meaning of each verb deciding a concept of action accompanying with organization activity and each example which can be taken by said verb in that meanings, and by stratifying them;

creating a logical model corresponding to said real model by fitting said defined concept to said defined sentence pattern; and

making a mounted model by converting the created logical model into a descriptive system suited to said database management system.

2. A constructing method of organization activity database as set forth in claim 1, wherein said basic concepts includes at least person, organization, article, document, meeting and event.

3. An analysis sheet used for said organization activity database as set forth in claim 1, having item columns for describing the relation with lower concept with respect to said each basic concept, and item columns for describing the relation fitting each basic concept to said sentence pattern.

4. An analysis sheet as set forth in claim 3, wherein the analysis sheet is prepared corresponding to each basic concept of at least person, organization, article, document, meeting and event.

5. An organization activity management system, which managing the organization activity with use of a database management system operating on the hardware, comprising:

server environment having;

organization activity database which is constructed by, for a real model in which plural concepts including concept of action handled in the organization activity are defined, defining each concept by stratifying all concepts handled in the organization activity in which plural basic concepts composing the organization activity are made to be highest stratum, and defining each sentence pattern by arranging and integrating meaning of each verb deciding a concept of action accompanying with organization activity and each example which can be taken by said verb in that meanings, and by stratifying them;

creating a logical model corresponding to said real model by fitting said defined concept to said defined sentence pattern; and

making a mounted model by converting the created logical model into a descriptive system suited to said database management system;

a document database accumulating information relating to documents,

a process database accumulating information of process relating to organization activity, and

client environments having plural retrieval functions capable of accessing the database management system using each one of plural basic concepts, documents and processes as retrieval key of higher stratum,

wherein said database management system manages said organization activity database, document database and process database by connecting each other, and

said client environments are capable of accessing the information accumulated in any database in an arbitrary order by outputting the retrieval key from each retrieval function and giving to said database management system.

6. An organization activity management system as set forth in claim 5, wherein said basic concepts includes at least person, organization, article, document, meeting and event.
