It is a conceptual diagram of the US registry of this Embodiment. It is an example of the message for searching a data object. It is a mapping table in the gateway server. It is an example of the search conditions acquired from mapping information. It is an example of a return message item.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 1, the present embodiment includes a Japanese registry 21 that is a database in which data relating to Japan is registered, a US registry 31 that is a database in which data relating to the United States is registered and a search. It includes an XX registry 41, which is a target database, a mapping table having mapping information 12, and a gateway server 11 that operates by program control.

  That is, in the present embodiment, there is the Japanese registry 21 as a first registry which is a database in which data objects are registered according to a unique classification, and a second search target in which data objects are registered according to a classification different from this. There is a US registry 31 which is a registry.

  The Japanese registry 21 that is the first registry and the US registry 31 that is the second registry are connected to the gateway server 11, and the gateway server 11 includes the data object of the Japanese registry 21 and the corresponding US registry 31. The mapping table describes the harmonization classification that is a classification harmonized with different registries so that the data objects have the same value.

  When there is a search request from the Japanese registry 21 to the US registry 31, the gateway server 11 acquires the value of the harmonization classification corresponding to the search request from the mapping table, and the United States corresponding to the acquired value of the harmonization classification. The search request is rewritten with the data object of the registry 31, and the US registry 31 is searched with the rewritten search request.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of the Japanese registry 21 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of the US registry 31 of the present embodiment.

  According to these FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the classification information managed by each registry, for example, “accounting”, “personnel”, etc., is registered as a classification system in the Japanese registry 21 as a classification system (Scheme) representing an industry. Similarly, it is assumed that “Account” and “Personnel” are registered in the US registry 31 as classification systems representing business types.

  In this embodiment, when cooperation between the registries is necessary, the classification information on each registry is mapped and registered in the gateway server 11 in advance to the harmonized classification information.

  Therefore, when searching the Japanese registry 21 and the US registry 31 in a category of “accounting”, a search message is sent to the gateway server 11 and the search target registry of the US registry 31 is searched through the harmonized classification system. By obtaining the classification information and throwing a search message to the US registry 31, a search across registries becomes possible.

[Operation of this embodiment]
Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the following explanation, an example is shown in which a search request is made from the Japanese registry 21 to the US registry 31 for a data object belonging to the classification “accounting”.

  FIG. 2 shows a classification system and data objects managed by the Japanese registry 21. A1 is an object scheme meaning a classification system. Here, “industry classification scheme” is assumed.

  A2 is an object representing the classification itself, and can also form a hierarchical structure.

  A3 is a data object managed by the Japanese registry 21, and includes, for example, services such as “Treasurer” and “Taro Taro”, package products, and the like.

  A4 is an object for associating objects, and in this case, the data “accounting-kun” is assigned to the classification “accounting”.

  FIG. 3 shows a classification system and data objects similarly managed by the US registry 31 (other than the Japanese registry).

  FIG. 4 shows a message for searching for a data object.

  FIG. 5 is a mapping table in the gateway server 11.

  When the search message shown in FIG. 4 enters the gateway server 11, the harmonization classification is acquired based on the search issuer and the local classification that is the search condition.

  As shown by B1 in FIG. 5, the item “R & Rkey” indicating the registry of the mapping table has “Japan registry” as the FROM value in the message of FIG. 4 and the item “local category” indicating the category of each registry “accounting”. "Is set, and" Classification 3 "shown in B2 is acquired as the value of the item" Harmonization classification "representing the harmonization classification.

  Next, as shown by B3 in FIG. 5, set “US Registry” which is the value of TO in the message of FIG. 4 to “Classification3” and “R & RKey” acquired in the item “Harmonize classification”. “Account” shown in B4 is acquired as the value of the item “local classification”.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the gateway server 11 changes the item “search condition” of the search message in the search request to “Account” acquired from the mapping information, and transmits it to the US registry 31.

  Here, FIG. 6 is an example of the search condition acquired from the mapping information.

  The US registry 31 acquires the data object “target 1” associated with the classification information “Account” from the “US registry” of FIG. 3 based on the search condition of FIG.

  The acquired result is set in “result” which is an item of the return message shown in FIG. 7, and the message is returned to the transmission source.

  The search system according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention can be realized by hardware, but the computer reads a program for causing the computer to function as the search system from a computer-readable recording medium and executes the program. Can also be realized.

  The search method according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention can be realized by hardware, but the computer reads a program for causing the computer to execute the method from a computer-readable recording medium and executes the program. This can also be realized.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used in a system that enables cross-searching of metadata registries and service registries scattered over the Internet.
