  • Patent number: 11935317
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing apparatus that is capable of generating information about contents of a written work more accurately than conventionally possible. The information processing apparatus includes a determination device, a selector, and a generator. The determination device determines whether a first object and a first property that are mentioned in a first electronic document and that are estimated to be in an association relationship are in accordance with a definition of the association relationship between an object and a property. In a case where the first object and the first property are determined to be not in accordance with the definition, the selector selects, instead of the first object, a second object that is in the association relationship with the first property. The generator generates relationship information indicating that the first electronic document is related to the second object.

  • Patent number: 8060519
    Abstract: Attribute mapping information is stored, in which a superclass of an associated class in an integration-source ontology already associated with an integration-destination ontology, an attribute of the superclass, and an integration destination attribute of a class in the integration destination are associated with each other. An integration target class in the integration source is specified to acquire an attribute of a superclass of the integration target class. An associated class having the shortest distance from the integration target class is specified, to specify an integration-destination-associated class associated with the specified associated class. An inheritance relation is followed from the integration-destination-associated class to specify a class having the integration destination attribute corresponding to the attribute in the mapping information as a position where the class associated with the integration target class is present.

  • Patent number: 7912826
    Abstract: To construct an ontology for a target data by re-using an existing ontology, from an aspect of the structure of the class hierarchy according to an object-oriented method and an aspect of the levels of relevance with other properties, the properties that correspond to the data items in the data serving as an ontology construction target and the extraction classes of the properties are determined as property extraction destination candidates for the ontology to be constructed. As a result, it is possible to re-use even a fine difference in the meanings among the properties in the classes. Consequently, it is possible to provide a support for constructing an effective ontology, while reducing the load on the user.

  • Publication number: 20100169760
    Abstract: An information editing supporting apparatus receives an operation performed by a user. In a case where the operation related to editing of property values or referencing of property values, the apparatus generates operation information related to the operation while associating the operation information with one of the classes to which properties related to the operation belong. By the operation information, the apparatus determines a positional arrangement of property columns and generates positional arrangement information indicating the positional arrangement of the property columns in which the property value of the class are arranged for each of the properties.
