Information search support system, application server, information search method, and program product
First Claim
1. An information search support system comprising:
- ontology extracting means for, based on a service selection command from a browser, extracting an ontology, said ontology displaying relationships among metadata and predicate relationships as concepts and properties, vocabularies, and parent-child relationships, said ontology corresponding to a selected service;
storing means for analyzing the ontology extracted by said ontology extracting means and storing into a memory a conceptual structure and details of properties corresponding to respective concepts, including the relationships among metadata and predicate relationships as concepts and properties, and parent-child relationships;
concept window display means for calling said conceptual structure, including the relationships among metadata and predicate relationships as concepts and properties, and parent-child relationships stored in said storing means and displaying it in a display area of said browser;
inference engine means for extending or compressing vocabularies relative to the concepts selected from said concepts;
and property window display means for calling from said storing means details of a property corresponding to a concept selected from said conceptual structure displayed by said concept window display means and displaying them in a display area of said browser;
a vocabulary information processing mechanism for loading an ontology corresponding to a selected service, said ontology displaying relationships among metadata and predicate relationships as concepts and properties, and parent-child relationships, displayed as trees, said ontology and analyzing the loaded ontology to extract a conceptual structure;
a conceptual information display section for displaying said conceptual structure extracted by said vocabulary information processing mechanism on a browser of a user terminal via a network;
a property information display section for displaying on said browser property information relative to a concept selected from the conceptual structure displayed on said browser by said conceptual information display means;
and a relational information display section for displaying, when a plurality of concepts are selected by said conceptual information display section, relationships between the concepts on the browser.

Abstract
A system includes a vocabulary information processing mechanism for loading an ontology corresponding to a selected service and analyzing the loaded ontology to extract a conceptual structure, an inference processing mechanism for executing an inference operation based on an axiom rule and extending/parsing vocabulary information extracted by the vocabulary information processing mechanism, a conceptual information display section for displaying the extracted conceptual structure on a browser of a user terminal via the Internet, a property information display section for displaying on the browser property information relative to a concept selected from the displayed conceptual structure, a relational information display section for displaying, when a plurality of concepts are selected, relationships between the concepts on the browser, and a search request transmitting section 34 for transmitting a prescribed search request to a search system based on a search request made from the browser.
