Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the load of work on a registrant and to extract sufficiently precise information. SOLUTION: New item information and Web information classification, which are to be registered in an item information database 11 and a Web information classification database 66, are temporarily registered in a temporary item information database 10 and a temporary a Web information classification database 64. An inquiry as to whether registered new item information and Web information classification are correct or not is given to a pertinent person. Only new item information and Web information classification, which are confirmed to be correct, are registered in the item information database 11 and the Web information classification database 66.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system, a method and a program for creating an item information database / Web (World Wide Web) information classification database.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when an item information database / Web information classification database is created, item information / Web
b. The registrant who registers the information classification actively receives the item information / We
b The information classification was registered in the database. Further, in order to create an item information database / Web information classification database, a document is subjected to text mining processing to extract an item information / Web information classification. Note that text mining is (1) a technology that understands the context of text information, and summarizes, classifies, and searches information.
(2) Technology for extracting knowledge from text information, (3) Technology for converting information (qualitative information) described in text into quantities (quantitative information), and in a broad sense, analysis of text mining results Including.

[0003]

In the conventional method, when a registrant actively registers item information / Web information classification in an item information database / Web information classification database, time for registration in business is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the contents to be registered, and to register the contents in the database, and there is a problem that the burden on the registrant is increased.

In the method of text mining a document, the contents of item information / Web information classification are erroneously extracted or the depth of the relationship between certain information and the item is extracted due to the accuracy of the text mining technology. For example, it is difficult to extract information with sufficient accuracy for registration.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object a method in which a registrant actively registers in an item information database / Web information classification database, and a method in which a document is subjected to text mining processing to obtain an item. Information / We
b By combining the two methods of obtaining the information classification,
Item information database / Web information classification database creation system, item information database / Web information classification database creation method capable of creating a highly reliable item information / Web information classification database while reducing the work load of the registrant And to provide the program.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, an item information database creating system according to the present invention comprises:
Means for collecting documents, means for creating a provisional item information database, means for extracting new item information, and whether or not the extracted new item information is correct, Means for confirming, and means for registering, in the database, new item information confirmed correct by the person concerned.

Further, in the item information database creating method of the present invention, a temporary item information database is created, new item information is extracted from the item information registered in the temporary item information database, and the extracted item information is extracted. Whether the new item information is correct or not is confirmed by the person concerned of the item information, and the new item information confirmed to be correct by the person concerned is registered in a database.

The program according to the present invention causes a computer to create a temporary item information database, extract new item information from the item information registered in the temporary item information database, and execute the extracted new item information. The person concerned of the item information is confirmed whether or not the item information is correct, and the new item information confirmed to be correct by the person is registered in the database.

Further, a Web information classification database creation system according to the present invention includes a Web server computer, a Web administrator computer, and a W
In the Web information classification database creating system connected to the Web information classification registration server, the Web information classification registration server includes: a unit for browsing a Web page published by the Web server computer; Means for registering in the information database, and W registered in the Web information database.
means for extracting the Web information classification, means for registering the extracted Web information classification in the temporary Web information database, temporary Web information classification registered in the temporary Web information classification database, and Web information classification database Means for extracting a difference from a known Web information classification registered in the Web server and extracting a new Web information classification; And means for registering, in the Web information classification database, a new Web information classification that has been confirmed to be correct by the Web administrator's computer.

Further, according to the method for creating a Web classification information database of the present invention, a Web page is browsed, registered in a Web information database, and the W
registering the Web information classification in the temporary Web information classification database, extracting a difference between the temporary Web information classification and the known Web information classification to extract a new Web information classification, and extracting the new Web information classification An inquiry is made to the computer of the Web administrator via the network as to whether or not the Web information is correct.
b. It is registered in the information classification database.

[0011] The program of the present invention provides a computer with a procedure for browsing a Web page and registering it in a database of Web information,
registering the Web information classification in the temporary Web information classification database, extracting the new Web information classification by taking the difference between the temporary Web information classification and the known Web information classification, And performing a procedure for inquiring the Web administrator's computer via a network whether or not the correct Web information classification is correct, and a procedure for registering a new Web information classification confirmed to be correct in the Web information classification database. .

According to the present invention, item information / Web information classification is extracted from a document created by a user, and registered in a temporary item information database / Web information classification database.
Thereafter, the known item information database / Web information classification database is compared with the provisional item information database / Web information classification database, and a new item information database / Web information classification database is extracted. Thereafter, an inquiry is made to the person concerned as to whether the new item information database / Web information classification database is correct, and the new item information / Web information classification confirmed to be correct is registered in the item information database / Web information classification database. You. As a result, a highly reliable item information / Web information classification can be made into a database while reducing the work load of the registrant.
