1. A design process recording apparatus, comprising:

  • a design work recording means for recording in a recording medium an inputted design work name as one of plural types of design work names including external requirement names, concept definition names, internal requirement names, detailed definition names, external requirement confirmation names, concept definition confirmation names, internal requirement confirmation names, and detailed definition confirmation names; and

    an inter-work relation recording means for recording in the recording medium a relation between two design work names selected from one or more of the external requirement names, one or more of the concept definition names, one or more of the internal requirement names, one or more of the detailed definition names, one or more of the external requirement confirmation names, one or more of the concept definition confirmation names, one or more of the internal requirement confirmation names, and one or more of the detailed definition confirmation names recorded in the recording medium,wherein the external requirement names are data indicating external requirements, and each of the external requirements is a work by a designer of recognizing qualitatively or quantitatively an influence on a part or whole of an artificial object as a design object from an internal factor or an external environment of the artificial object, or is an influence thereof,wherein the concept definition names are data indicating concept definitions, and each of the concept definitions is a work of defining either of a structure of a part or whole of the artificial object that endures the influence in the external requirement and a structure of a part or whole of the artificial object depending on the influence in the external requirement, or is a matter as a work object thereof,wherein the internal requirement names are data indicating internal requirements, and each of the internal requirements is a work of defining a characteristic that a part or whole of the artificial object should realize, or is a characteristic thereof,wherein the detailed definition names are data indicating detailed definitions, and each of the detailed definitions is a work of defining a part or whole of the artificial object so that the characteristic defined in the internal requirement is realized, or is a matter as a work object thereof,wherein the external requirement confirmation names are data indicating external requirement confirmations, and each of the external requirement confirmations is a work of correcting vagueness of the influence recognized in the external requirement,wherein the concept definition confirmation names are data indicating concept definition confirmations, and each of the concept definition confirmations is a work of verifying whether or not the structure defined in the concept definition satisfies the external requirement,wherein the internal requirement confirmation names are data indicating internal requirement confirmations, and each of the internal requirement confirmations is a work of verifying the certainty of a characteristic defined in the internal requirement,wherein the detailed definition confirmation names are data indicating detailed definition confirmations, and each of the detailed definition confirmations is a work of verifying whether or not a part or whole of the artificial object defined in the detailed definition satisfies the internal requirement, andwherein the inter-work relation recording means records a relation between the external requirement name and the concept definition name, a relation between the concept definition name and the internal requirement name, a relation between the internal requirement name and the detailed definition name, a relation between the external requirement name and the internal requirement name, a relation between the external requirement name and the external requirement confirmation name, a relation between the concept definition name and the concept definition confirmation name, a relation between the internal requirement name and the internal requirement confirmation name, and a relation between the detailed definition name and the detailed definition confirmation name.
