Description

  This invention expresses the information source and destination, processing and storage for each function of business as function names based on the unified description rule, and graphically represents the flow of information between the functions. The present invention relates to a function name calibration apparatus and a function name calibration program for calibrating the function name in the figure.

  In system development, customer requirements and business functions are analyzed in the upstream process, and analytical data is created to clarify the processing process and information flow of the target business. In creating this analysis document, there are various notation methods for expressing the relevance of business functions by various techniques, such as a business flow diagram, an office flow diagram, an entity relationship diagram (ERD), There are a function information relation diagram (DFD), a function relation diagram or a function relation diagram.

  The technique used to create this analysis material may differ depending on the system development project, but as a common feature of various techniques, symbols such as squares and arrows are used to express the diagram and function names. The notation rules are defined. In particular, the function name is left to the creator of the analysis material, and there is a degree of freedom in expression.

  For this reason, when creating a function-related diagram or function definition document with multiple people's work in creating one analysis document, the parts that should have the same function name should be expressed by each assigned worker. May be different.

  In particular, even if it is analysis data created by one worker and the term that the worker intends to unify is used, the function name is expressed in the sense at the time of thinking. It is left to the senses and does not easily become a unified term.

  Therefore, the creator of the analysis material must review the analysis material created by each assigned worker, and the function names that have the same function name but the function names are not unified. The name needs to be corrected to a single function name. In particular, if this correction work is neglected, there is a risk of misunderstanding of the contents described by third parties who browse the analysis materials, and the function names described in the analysis materials are trusted to interpret the functions. Misunderstanding can cause problems in business operations.

In addition, when there is a term that is similar to a certain unified function name, it is necessary to determine whether it should be unified with the same term as the unified function name or with a new term. In order to unify function names, organization is also necessary.
For this reason, it is normal to review the meaning of different notations in the actual state of analysis materials, correct them to unified notation, and gradually create a finished version.

  In creating analysis data, it is possible to create a glossary by defining function names in advance, but referencing the glossary from time to time is cumbersome for the operator and avoids the glossary reference. It is considered that the function name is expressed by the operator's intention.

In contrast, a conventional document creation support system reads the contents of a term dictionary stored in a CD-ROM, floppy disk (registered trademark), etc. into a hard disk device such as a personal computer, and uses this term dictionary. Supports the standardization of terms for documents entered separately, or the support for standardization of terms for Japanese-English translation. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP 9-259125 A

  In the conventional document creation support system, the function name in the related diagram is not proofread. However, the terminology dictionary replaces the terminology in the document created in advance with the corresponding standard notation. Terms that are not registered in are not subject to replacement. For this reason, even if the idea of the conventional document creation support system is adapted to the proofreading of the function name in the related diagram, there is a problem that it is not possible to correspond to the unregistered function name.

  In addition, in the conventional document creation support system, a plurality of replacement candidates are displayed for a term with different notation and replaced with one standard notation selected by the operator, and whether or not the standard notation can be replaced is determined. By making the selection, it is left to the operator to select a replacement candidate and determine whether or not replacement is possible. For this reason, depending on each worker, there are cases in which the replacement candidates to be selected are different for terms of different notations, or they are not replaced with standard notations, and there is a problem that the function names cannot be unified.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is suitable for function names that are not registered in the terminology dictionary in the related diagram created in advance by the creator of the analysis data. The function name calibration apparatus and the function name calibration program that can automatically select and calibrate the function name are provided.

  This function name proofreading apparatus stores specific terms related to business and similar terms partially including the specific terms in the function definition storage unit. The function name proofreading apparatus extracts a function name in the related diagram, compares the function name with the specific term and similar term, and the function name partially includes the specific term or similar term. In this case, the similar term registration unit registers the function name in the function definition storage unit as a similar term for the specific term or similar term. The function name proofreading apparatus extracts the function name in the related diagram, compares the function name with the specific term and the similar term, and the function name does not include the specific term or the similar term. The new specific term registration unit registers the function name as a new specific term in the function definition storage unit. Further, the function name proofreading apparatus is configured such that the function name conversion unit stores, in the function definition storage unit, a function name partially including the similar term in the related diagram based on a predetermined conversion rule. To either the specific term or similar term.

  The disclosed function name proofreading apparatus performs a predetermined conversion on the function name even if a term that does not exist in the existing specific glossary is described in the function name in the function relation diagram created in advance. Based on the rules, it can be converted into a predetermined term. In addition, the disclosed function name proofreading apparatus has an effect that the function names of synonyms used in a plurality of function related diagrams can be unified and a normalized function related diagram can be created.

  Here, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms. Therefore, it should not be interpreted only by the description of the following embodiment. Also, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements throughout the embodiment.

In the embodiment, the apparatus will be mainly described. However, as is apparent to those skilled in the art, the present invention can also be implemented as a program or method usable on a computer.
Furthermore, the present invention can be implemented in hardware, software, or software and hardware embodiments.

  The program can be recorded on any computer-readable medium such as a hard disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, optical storage device, or magnetic storage device. Furthermore, the program can be recorded on another computer via a network.

(First embodiment of the present invention)
1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a function name proofreading apparatus according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a function related diagram showing an example of a function related diagram inputted from the input unit shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. ) Is an explanatory diagram for explaining the function definitions and conversion rules stored in the function definition storage unit shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3B shows the relationship between the function definitions stored in the function definition storage unit shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the function name proofreading apparatus shown in FIG.

  In the following description, the function name calibration apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described as a calibration target using a function-related diagram. However, for each function of business, information source and destination, processing and storage Is expressed as a function name based on the unified description rule, and is not limited to the function related diagram as long as it is a related diagram in which the flow of information between the respective functions is graphically represented. For example, as a relationship diagram, a business flow diagram, an office flow diagram, an entity relationship diagram (ERD), a function information relationship diagram (DFD), or a function relationship diagram may be calibrated.

The input unit 1 is means for inputting a function relation diagram created in advance to the function name proofreading apparatus 10. The input unit 1 can be input using any computer-readable medium recorded on a hard disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, optical storage device, magnetic storage device, or the like, or from another computer via a network. It is possible to input. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the function relation diagram is a relation diagram in which the function name is described in each block, and the information flow between the functions is graphically represented by arrows connecting the blocks. .
The function name extraction unit 2 extracts function name data from the function relation diagram input from the input unit 1 and outputs it to the function name comparison unit 4 described later.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the function definition storage unit 3 includes a specific term related to business (hereinafter referred to as a specific term 3a) and a part of the specific term 3a (not a complete match, A rule (hereinafter referred to as a conversion rule) for converting a similar term 3b and a term partially including the similar term 3b (hereinafter referred to as a conversion target term 3c) into either the specific term 3a or the similar term 3b. 3d) is stored in association with each other.

  Here, the specific term 3a refers to the industry terms used in specific industry associations corresponding to the work represented by the function-related diagram to be calibrated, and the types of industrial products specified by the competent minister according to the Industrial Standardization Act. , Terms defined in standards (Japanese Industrial Standard) regarding shape, dimensions and structure.

  In addition, when the range (industry, type of standard) for registering the specific term 3a is widened in the function definition storage unit 3, there are different meanings for the same specific term 3a depending on different industries. In some cases, function names cannot be unified. For this reason, as the specific term 3a, it is preferable to register only the industry term corresponding to the function relation diagram to be proofread in the function definition storage unit 3. In particular, the specific term 3a is extracted from the database of specific terms 20 and registered in advance in the function definition storage unit 3, and can be rewritten according to the function-related diagram to be calibrated.

  In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the specific term 3a is classified into a large classification (large function), and the similar term 3b is classified into a medium classification (medium function) and a small classification (small function). There are two stages. The middle class of the similar term 3b is a term partially including the specific term 3a, and is a lower layer (first lower layer) immediately below the specific term 3a. 3b is a term partially including the middle class 3b, and is a second lower layer (second lower layer) with respect to the specific term 3a. In FIG. 3A, A, B, C, and D are one or more words, the same romaji indicates the same word, and the different roman letters indicate different words.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, up to the second lower layer is registered as the similar term 3b, and the function name partially including the second lower layer is based on the conversion rule 3d set in advance. These are converted into either specific terms 3a (major category) or similar terms 3b (medium category, minor category).

  In the present embodiment, it is not limited to registering up to the second lower layer as the similar term 3b, but only the first lower layer may be registered as the similar term 3b, and further up to the lower layer You may register as the similar term 3b.

  In addition, as a preset conversion rule 3d, a function name partially including the similar term 3b in the lowermost layer (here, a small classification) in the similar term 3b is compared with a lowermost layer (here, in the similar term 3b). It is converted into a similar term 3b of (minor classification). Thereby, the conversion rule 3d is preferable because it can be converted into a term close to the function name before conversion compared to the upper layer (here, the middle class) of the specific term 3a (major classification) and the similar term 3b. . In particular, the conversion rule 3d is registered in advance in the function definition storage unit 3 by the conversion rule setting unit 30, and the conversion rule 3d can be appropriately rewritten.

  The function name comparison unit 4 compares the function name output from the function name extraction unit 2, the specific term 3a and the similar term 3b stored in the function definition storage unit 3, and compares the function name with the specific term 3a (large Classification) or similar terms 3b (medium classification, small classification), and whether or not there is a complete match or partial match is determined, and the comparison result is output to a function definition storage unit 5 and / or a function name conversion unit 6 to be described later.

  Based on the comparison result from the function name comparison unit 4, the function definition storage unit 5 registers a specific term or similar term in the function definition storage unit 3 by a new specific term registration unit 5 a or a similar term registration unit 5 b described later.

  The similar term registration unit 5b associates the specific term 3a with the similar term 3b including the specific term 3a as a part, and stores the similar term for the similar term 3b up to a predetermined lower layer with respect to the specific term 3a. Register with Part 3.

  Specifically, when the function name includes the specific term 3a in part, the similar term registering unit 5b uses the function name as a similar term for the specific term 3a in the similar term 3b in the function definition storage unit 3. Register for classification.

  Further, the similar term registration unit 5b, when the function name partially includes the middle class of the similar term 3b, the similar term in the function definition storage unit 3 as the similar term for the middle class of the similar term 3b. Register in the subcategory 3b.

The similar term registration unit 5b does not need to register the function name in the function definition storage unit 3 when the function name completely matches the specific term 3a or similar term 3b already stored in the function definition storage unit 3. And
When the function name does not include the specific term 3a (or similar term 3b), the new specific term registration unit 5a registers the function name as a new specific term 3a in the function definition storage unit 3.

  The function name conversion unit 6 corresponds to a specific name 3a or similar term stored in the function definition storage unit 3 based on a predetermined conversion rule 3d with respect to a function name partially including the similar term 3b in the function relation diagram. Convert to any of 3b. In the present embodiment, the conversion is made to the small classification of the similar term 3b corresponding to the function name, but is not limited to this conversion rule 3d.

  In particular, when the function name includes a similar term 3b of a predetermined lower layer (here, a small classification) in part, the function name conversion unit 6 applies the function name to the function name based on a predetermined conversion rule 3d. The corresponding specific term 3a or similar term 3b (here, subclass of the similar term 3b) is converted.

  The output unit 7 is an output unit for outputting the result of calibrating the function name by the function name conversion unit 6 with respect to the function related diagram input from the input unit 1. The output unit 7 records, for example, as an arbitrary computer-readable medium such as a hard disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, optical storage device or magnetic storage device, or displays such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) or a liquid crystal display. Displaying as a device is conceivable.

Next, a processing procedure performed by the function name calibration apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

If it is determined in step S7 that they do not partially match, the function name comparison unit 4 outputs a determination result (necessary new registration) to the function definition storage unit 5.

  The new specific term registration unit 5a in the function definition storage unit 5 registers the one function name extracted in step S2 as a new specific term for the specific term 3a (major classification) in the function definition storage unit 3 (step S2). S8) The determination result (no conversion required) is output to the function name conversion unit 6, and the process proceeds to step S5 described above.

When it is determined in step S7 described above that they partially match, the function name comparison unit 4 uses the one function name extracted in step S2 and the similar term 3b referred to in step S3 (medium It is determined whether or not (classification) completely matches (step S9).
If it is determined in step S9 that they completely match, the function name comparison unit 4 outputs the determination result (no conversion required) to the function name conversion unit 6 without registering the function name in the function definition storage unit 3. Then, the process proceeds to step S5 described above.

If it is determined in step S9 described above that they do not completely match, the function name comparison unit 4 determines the one function name extracted in step S2 and the similar term 3b (medium classification) referenced in step S3. Are partially matched (step S10).
If it is determined in step S <b> 10 that they do not partially match, the function name comparison unit 4 outputs the determination result (needs new registration) to the function definition storage unit 5.

  The similar term registration unit 5b of the function definition storage unit 5 registers the one function name extracted in step S2 as a new similar term for the similar term 3b (medium classification) of the function definition storage unit 3 (step S11). ), The determination result (no conversion required) is output to the function name conversion unit 6, and the process proceeds to step S5 described above.

  When it is determined in step S10 described above that they partially match, the function name comparison unit 4 determines the one function name extracted in step S2 and the similar term 3b (small) referenced in step S3. It is determined whether or not (classification) completely matches (step S12).

  In step S12, when it is determined that they match completely, the function name comparison unit 4 outputs the determination result (no conversion required) to the function name conversion unit 6 without registering the function name in the function definition storage unit 3. Then, the process proceeds to step S5 described above.

If it is determined in step S12 described above that they do not completely match, the function name comparison unit 4 determines the one function name extracted in step S2 and the similar term 3b (small classification) referenced in step S3. Are partially matched (step S13).
In step S <b> 13, when it is determined that they do not partially match, the function name comparison unit 4 outputs the determination result (needs new registration) to the function definition storage unit 5.

  The similar term registration unit 5b of the function definition storage unit 5 registers the one function name extracted in step S2 as a new similar term for the similar term 3b (small category) of the function definition storage unit 3 (step S14). ), The determination result (no conversion required) is output to the function name conversion unit 6, and the process proceeds to step S5 described above.

If it is determined in step S <b> 13 described above that they partially match, the function name comparison unit 4 outputs a determination result (conversion required) to the function name conversion unit 6.
The function name conversion unit 6 applies a predetermined conversion rule 3d to the one function name extracted in step S2 to convert it into a similar term 3b (subcategory) (step S15). move on.

  As described above, in the function name proofreading apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, even if a term that does not exist in the existing specific glossary is described in the function name in the function relation diagram created in advance, The function name can be converted into a predetermined term based on a predetermined conversion rule 3d.

In the function name proofreading program for causing a computer to function so as to calibrate the function name in the figure, the computer stores a specific term related to the business and a similar term partially including the specific term. When the function name is extracted, the function name in the related diagram is extracted, the function name is compared with the specific term or similar term, and the function name partially includes the specific term or similar term A similar term registration unit that registers the function name as a similar term for the specific term or similar term and registers the specific term or similar term in association with the function definition storage unit. The function name in the related diagram is extracted, and the function name is compared with the specific term or similar term. When the function name does not include the specific term or similar term, the function name is newly specified. As new terms, new specific term registration means for registering in the function definition storage means, and corresponding specific terms stored in the function definition storage means for function names that partially include the specific terms in the related diagram. Or a function name proofreading program that functions as a similar term conversion means for converting into a similar term. Thereby, even if the function name proofreading program of the disclosure describes a term that does not exist in the existing specific glossary in the function name in the function relation diagram created in advance, Based on a predetermined conversion rule, it can be converted into a predetermined term, the function names of synonyms used in a plurality of function related diagrams can be unified, and a normalized function related diagram can be created. Play.
