Abstract: Data processing versatility increases for both other companies and a given company to which a user belongs, information simultaneity can be obtained inside and outside the given company, quick data processing can be performed, and knowledge work processing can be obtained. The data processing apparatus has a reception processing means connected to a network, transmission processing means connected to the network, self data group storage portion, reception data group storage portion, and transmission data group storage portion. The data structure of each storage portion is classified into organization, reference, and general control in the vertical direction and slip, book, and knowledge in the horizontal direction. Although data contents in the vertical direction are the same, they are defined as data having different meanings. Slips and books are managed using identification codes, and knowledge is managed using item data and knowledge table.

Abstract: When data is simply input without being aware of describing a program language (e.g., COBOL or FORTRAN), the data input meaning is detected, and software for this data processing is automatically applied and prepared. Various types of worksheets corresponding to the business logic terms and data input positions are stored in a business data file. When an operation unit is operated and data is input to the data input position, the input data is stored as rule setting data. When application data corresponding to the rule setting data is input through the operation unit, a business logic applying section determines the use software in accordance with the corresponding business logic term.
