Description

Dynamic attribute Quest Central For Databases search method and system

The invention relates to a kind of dynamic attribute Quest Central For Databases search method and system, mainly is initiatively data to be defined as a plurality of different attributes by the user, precisely to find the management search method and the system thereof of data rapidly.

Along with the formation of informationized society, and even common people corporation all attach great importance to using for the collection of information, some special industry particularly, the accumulation of data is the important commercial resource with preserving it, as newspaper office, publishing business etc.Because data is a valuable source, therefore must there be methodology to be managed, early stage data management, in fact only be ' concentrating ', it has useful data collective custody to utilize when needing, and promptly filters in the mode of browsing piece by piece, the traditional data management method of this kind has no structural saying, it must not meet the requirement that efficient speed is particular about by modern society.

In recent years, the utilization of computer is gradually general, and is used in widely on the data management, and its more traditional naturally centralized management method in management has more efficient.Its management method roughly comprises category index and similar book card system, the former does subjective judgement according to set criteria for classification to data by managerial personnel, and in the folder of classification under it is deposited in, waited and used when needing, promptly according to filtering required information piece by piece at the special properties folder.

Again the latter then with documentation according to fixing field, as the author, publish the date, publish publication, title or classifying and numbering etc., with the character of definition this document data, when the user desires to seek information in the future, promptly utilize aforementioned each field to retrieve.

Yet, no matter be category index or similar book card system, all have its shortcoming to exist:

At first with regard to the category index mode, the complete Drawing upon managerial personnel's of manual sort's mode subjective judgement, when managerial personnel disagree for the cognition of data character and set standard, originally should divide data, may be divided category-B by wrong at category-A and since this kind mode classification only summary be divided into single classification, therefore, when its classification error was attributed to other classifications, for its original classification, this document was promptly just as missing.This shows, with single classification, as unique foundation of classification, obviously be very dangerous.

Categorizing system as for similar book card, though there are a plurality of fixedly fields can supply retrieval, subtract its instability slightly compared to aforesaid category index mode, but still deposit inborn defective, the most significant flaw is that fixing field promptly can not satisfy the needs of all newspaper cutting on congenital, the data bank of newspaper office or publishing business for example, its data type is various, so that several fixing fields only to be arranged, break and to do proper and suitable definition at various types of data with different, attempt a plain example explanation, author as one piece of documentation has seven, only system can only allow three people at most on author's field, promptly must accept or reject to some extent this moment in the input of author's field, and meaning promptly promptly can only be logined three authors at this piece file, and four authors that abandoned logining, promptly have no way of detecting its works in the future, cause the dead angle of data-searching according to name.

Remove aforementioned author's field because of being subjected to the field numerical limitations, and must be beyond accepting or rejecting to some extent in the login operation, other all might meet with foregoing problems in aspect such as atural object during as theme, time and the occurrences in human life of being correlated with.

Except that aforementioned management method; also utilize key word mode data searching; it is by the input key word relevant with required article; such as ' politics ', ' cross-straits relations ', ' Strait Exchange Foundation ' etc.; system will be according to the key word of user input to the full-text search one by one of data bank All Files, to find out the article that includes aforementioned key word subsequently.But this kind retrieval mode obviously is not enough to some extent on accuracy, with the object that key word is judged as retrieval, therefore, its person of detecting is all articles that comprise this key word to problem at it, be not the article relevant with the key word meaning of word, this kind mode will make the retrieval operation of data get half the result with twice the effort.

From the above, the management search method of existing archives material is not all use up the distribution ideal on efficient and speed, so need to be further reviewed improvement.

Therefore, fundamental purpose of the present invention, be to provide a kind of dynamic attribute Quest Central For Databases search method, its field with given number not initiatively is defined as a plurality of different attributes for the user with data, utilize the familiarity that defined attribute initiatively produces the user and make things convenient for memory characteristic, can find data rapidly and accurately.

Secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a kind of dynamic attribute document library system, and it does not set its framework with default position, but is starting point with data itself, utilizes its characteristic to be the management system that leads out;

What is called leads with file attributes, be meant that first the qualification will be with several fields to define the characteristic of literary composition, initiatively all information with reference value are all made field but look actual needs by the user, utilize this field that can dynamically add that the attribute of file is carried out multiple definition, in other words, each part file can have multiple attribute simultaneously, its data-searching of can being more convenient for via common factor or after joining set operation.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of dynamic attribute Quest Central For Databases search method, includes an attribute record district and a dossier district, wherein:

This attribute record district supplies to store the user at the defined attribute of different files, and each attribute will give record with ' Property Name ', ' attribute number ' and projects such as ' attribute of a relation numberings ' respectively:

Should ' Property Name ' be initiatively to import by the user;

Should ' attribute number ' be to be produced by the attribute record administrative unit in the attribute record district, it produces attribute number automatically at each record attribute, and this attribute number can be the serial number of order.

Should ' attribute of a relation numbering ' be initiatively to import other attribute numbers relevant, and make the part that this relation is numbered to be become when the thing file attribute with this document attribute by the user.

This dossier district is that record stores the documentation of defined attribute, and gives Docket No. and place address at each documentation, and write down its attribute number, wherein Docket No. is promptly as the attribute number, be as identification with stating, itself however repeat to get final product.

Can make database structure through reaching the hommization that more becomes with aforementioned management search method.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of dynamic attribute Quest Central For Databases search method, and when this management search method was carried out by computer, the placement location in its dossier district can be indicated by disk drive title, path and file name.

Relevant dynamic attribute Quest Central For Databases search method of the present invention, it is divided into administrative section and retrieving portion, and wherein administrative section includes:

One sets out with user's viewpoint carries out the step of attribute definition at the preservation data;

One by seeking the attribute of a relation relevant with this document in the defined attribute, to constitute the step of subordinate relation;

One step that the attribute of this document and attribute of a relation thereof are stored with particular form;

One is stored in ad-hoc location with this document, and indicates respectively with its archival location and relating attribute numbering, and with the step of aforementioned location Attribute Association; Wherein:

Should ' attribute definition step ': be that viewpoint with user itself is a guiding, preserve file for desire and carry out attribute definition, meaning is that the user is when the attribute of defined file, not limited by field or a certain standard format, otherwise, all have the information of reference value by user's subjective mind, and all classifying as can be for the attribute project of definition, as a word, symbol, specific term, numeral, name, place name, tissue etc.

For example one piece of people's definable about nineteen ninety Taiwan to the article of Canadian trade overview, it can promptly include in order to the attribute project that defines this piece article: nineteen ninety, Taiwan, Canada, trade, crops, go into superfinely, all can become the attribute project.

Because aforementioned attribute is initiatively to be proposed by the user, thus the most consistent with user's viewpoint, when the user retrieves, specified attribute accurately, and find the data of required content fast.

Again because of the attribute project is initiatively to be proposed by the user, the restriction of no field item time can't be made the shortcoming of detailed definition to file so the traditional similar book card of unlikely generation system is limited by the field project.

This defining relation attribute step: accumulate day by day when the data of preserving management, defined attribute project also increases thereupon, and for making data be able to structuring, will be beneficial to the structuring of data by forming subordinate relation between existing attribute.

Further illustrate the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is an attribute record of the present invention district synoptic diagram;

Fig. 2 is a dossier of the present invention district synoptic diagram;

Fig. 3 is a newly-increased dossier synoptic diagram of the present invention;

Fig. 4 is a document retrieval record synoptic diagram of the present invention;

Fig. 5 is the another document retrieval record of a present invention synoptic diagram.

Seeing also shown in Figure 1ly, is attribute record of the present invention district synoptic diagram.As shown in the figure, wherein disclosed the data form of an attribute project.First row 11 stores the attribute number of each attribute in Fig. 1, and second row 12 stores the Property Name of each attribute, and the third line 13 then stores the relating attribute numbering of each attribute.

In Fig. 1 table 10, defined Property Name comprises: in the earth, Asia, America, Taiwan, the platform, geographical term such as history, Canada, tabular is in second row 12 respectively, and be numbered 0001～0007 in regular turn as its attribute number, tabular is in first row 11, and the relating attribute of the third line 13 is numbered then in order to the subordinate relation between each attribute of tabular.

Illustrate as follows:

Among Fig. 1, this attribute Asia (attribute number 0002) is the part of the earth (attribute number 0001), so the relating attribute in Asia is numbered 0001;

This attribute America (attribute number 0003) also is the part of the earth (attribute number 0001), so the relating attribute in America numbering also is 0001;

(attribute number 0004 is the part of Asia (attribute number 0002), so the relating attribute in Taiwan is numbered 0002 in this attribute Taiwan;

(attribute number 0005) is the part of Taiwan (attribute number 0004) in this attribute platform, so the relating attribute in the platform is numbered 0004;

This attribute Canada (attribute number 0007) is the part of America (attribute number 0003), so Canadian relating attribute is numbered 0003.

And in the attribute earth and historical these two attribute projects, do not write down the relating attribute numbering, i.e. representative does not have other attribute it can be contained.

Giving of aforementioned relating attribute numbering, main relevance between framework data and data is beneficial to the structuring of data and is convenient to search.

In this attribute storing step, attribute project through finishing definition is existed with particular form, it is mainly reached by setting up an attribute record district as table 10, it is every sets up an attribute project and is about to its Property Name, attribute number and relating attribute numbering (item as shown in Figure 1) are stored in this attribute record district, wherein Property Name is initiatively to import when using defined attribute, attribute number is then produced automatically by the attribute record administrative unit in the attribute record district again, its principle is that each attribute number all must be unique, must not repeat with the numbering of other attribute projects, the simplest mode promptly indicates with serial number in regular turn according to the sequencing of setting up.

As for relating attribute numbering then by the user according to previous existing attribute project, look for and write down relevant attribute project.

In this archives storing step, be to reach with execution by setting up a dossier district.This keeper of dossier district institute includes: Docket No., storage location and the additional attribute number that gives these archives that store data, wherein:

This Docket No. is to be the layout object with each save File, and identical with attribute number, Docket No. is to be used to discern purposes, so long as unique and unduplicated getting final product.

This storage location mainly is that the storage location with archives marks, suppose to carry out this method with computer system, then storage location promptly can the disk drive title, path and file name indicated, as shown in Figure 2, the storage location of each archives material promptly cooperates path and file name to be stored with disk drive respectively.

This attribute number is initiatively defined by the user, and except that storing the attribute record district, also the archives itself that constitute with data are stored in the dossier district.

Seeing also shown in Figure 2ly, is dossier of the present invention district synoptic diagram, as shown in the figure, this Fig. 2 table 20 is the usefulness that is provided as an archives storage, wherein first row 21 can be for the record Docket No., the stored position of second row, 22 record archives, and the third line 23 then writes down the relating attribute numbering of these archives.

When storing archives, the user can select or define at least one attribute and this and this archives are stored in the lump.Table 20 as shown in Figure 2, dossier administrative unit will be set up at least one pen dossier corresponding to these archives, and be in other words every when an attribute is assigned to these archives, also must set up a record corresponding to these archives and this attribute in the table 20.

One archives, its Docket No. A000025 (first row 21), storage location be C: Document Article.doc (second row 22), simultaneously by in the platform, three attribute projects such as history and Canada are defined, and are the data of A000025 so include three Docket No. in the table 20.In this three document, except its relating attribute numbering (the third line 23) is respectively 0006,0005,0007, remainder is all identical.

Other has archives, its Docket No. A000030 (first row 21), storage location be D: Person Report.xls (second row 22), only defined by attribute Taiwan, so the data that only to include a Docket No. in the table 20 be A000030, its relating attribute numbering (the third line 23) is 00004.

One archives are arranged again, its Docket No. A000035 (first row 21), storage location be E: Readme.txt (second row 22), only by being defined in the attribute platform, so the data that only to include a Docket No. in the table 20 be A000035, its relating attribute numbering (the third line 23) is 0005.

Because profile may change attribute because of revising content, so the user must increase or reduce the attribute number content in the dossier district.If the user leaves out an attribute, then Dui Ying dossier will be removed from table 20; Opposite, if the newly-increased attribute of user, then table 20 also need increase a corresponding document.

Following comparison diagram 2 is done explanation with Fig. 3, in the stored contents that Fig. 2 exemplifies, Docket No. A000030, storage location in D: Person the profile of Report.xls, its related attribute number is former to have only Taiwan (0004).As these document archives after revising, can increase other attribute definitions it, then only must on this document, increase the record (as shown in Figure 3) of a relating attribute, then this document is except that constituting the Attribute Association with Taiwan, and is also related with historical (0006) attribute formation.Relating attribute will be numbered 0006 data so will increase a Docket No. A000030 in the table 20, as shown in Figure 3.

Otherwise if above-mentioned data is deleted in table 20 shown in Figure 3, then these document archives promptly no longer have associated with historical this attribute project.

Can find out that by above-mentioned explanation the present invention realizes the principle and the purpose of grouping of data, when user's desire searched for data from table 10 and table 20, its search method included:

One given step: the attribute of assigning the desire appointment by the user;

One searching attribute step: to the attribute record district of table 10, detect the attribute that meets specified requirements;

One retrieval relating attribute step: to the third line 13 in table 10 attribute record district, detect the relating attribute relevant with the designator;

The one retrieval archives step related with specified attribute: the dossier district to table 20 finds out the profile related with specified attribute;

The one retrieval archives step related with the relating attribute of specified attribute: the dossier district to table 20 finds out and the related profile of the relating attribute of specified attribute.

Aforementioned given step is to be undertaken by the user, and its feasible specific mode comprises following two kinds:

One, the attribute record district data of index table 10, and specified attribute: the storage form in this attribute record district extremely is easy to browse analysis, main cause is that each notes record has included attribute number and relating attribute numbering, content with Fig. 1 table 10 is an example, it is in respect of seven attribute projects, if filter out two projects that do not have relating attribute in advance, promptly has only the earth, historical two attribute projects, as being analyzed at this attribute project of the earth, can find to have only America and Asia relating attribute be the earth, so want only to elect at Asia and America, if, when electing with regard to the Asia, the relating attribute that has only Taiwan is the Asia, and old friends can directly specify the specified attribute of Taiwan as retrieval.This kind progressively mode of option can find relevant attribute rapidly.

Two, comparison one by one: specify an attribute project, compare one by one with the attribute project that the attribute record district of table 10 stores, processing speed with present computer, specifying the attribute project of all storages in an attribute project and the attribute record district to do comparison one by one is to realize very rapidly and easily, therefore similar this kind mechanical type contrast work can be transferred to computer and carry out.It need only select some particular community, and utilizes computer to carry out full-text search and find out the similar or identical attribute project of part, cooperates the judgement of each attribute project and relating attribute thereof subsequently again, can effectively dwindle range of search, and detect required information rapidly.

In aforementioned given step, as long as after the specified attribute, just can from the dossier district, find relevant archives easily, table 20 stored contents with Fig. 2 is an example, if the user refers to this attribute in the platform, can be two document archives (as shown in Figure 4) such as A000025 and A000035 by finding Docket No. in the dossier district, the relating attribute numbering of these two documents archives is 0005, so after the user specifies, can be found out rapidly.

After finishing given step, promptly carry out the searching step of attribute and profile by system, promptly carry out the searching step of attribute and profile by system, for example, if the user specifies this attribute of America, its attribute number is 0003, subsequently in retrieval relating attribute step, to arrive and find out relating attribute in the attribute record district and be numbered 0003 attribute Canada, again in the archives step of retrieval and appointment property Attribute Association, to arrive and find out relating attribute in the dossier district and be numbered 0003 archives, in retrieving the archives step related, then in the dossier district, find out the profile (as shown in Figure 5) that relating attribute is numbered 0007 (Canada) at last with specified attribute.

The mat abovementioned steps, the user can be rapidly and is found the profile of specified attribute accurately, and other profile relevant with profile also can detect simultaneously, for user's reference.

Again when the attribute of user's appointment the more the time, through occuring simultaneously or after the connection collection handles, the data scope of its retrieval can littler and more be attained accurately.For example the theme of archives is talked nineteen ninety and is imported and exported situation for Taiwan and Canadian trade, at this theme, the user will specify four attributes such as nineteen ninety, Taiwan, Canada and trade very easily, and can have 20 in the archives of this attribute of appointment Taiwan, specify these attribute archives of Canada to have 15 again, as process intersection set operation, specify and possess the two kinds of attributes in Taiwan and Canada simultaneously, may only be left 5 archives, if specify this attribute of trade again, only remaining probably 2 archives.This shows,, can find required archives more accurately by simple logical operation.

In sum, the invention relates to a kind of dynamic attribute Quest Central For Databases search method when knowing, mainly be initiatively data to be defined as a plurality of different attributes by the user, precisely to find the management search method of data rapidly, so the present invention one is rich in novelty, progressive, and can utilize effect from industry, and should meet the patented claim important document undoubtedly, application for a patent for invention is proposed in accordance with the law.

Only the above, it only is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not to limit scope of the invention process, promptly all equalizations of doing according to the described shape of the present patent application claim, structure, feature and spirit change and modify, and all should be included in the claim of the present invention.
