  • Patent number: 6014677
    Abstract: A document management device includes a database for storing and managing document data, a document retrieving device for retrieving the document data from the database, a document display for displaying at least one document data retrieved by the document retrieving device, and a format storage device for storing at least one evaluation format each of which has an identifier and a plurality of definitions of evaluation attributes. The evaluation format specifies the structure of evaluation data representing evaluation for the document data. A document selecting device allows for selection of one document data among the document data displayed, and a format selecting device allows for selection of one of the evaluation formats. An attribute value input device allows for inputting attribute values which are the result of evaluation for the document data selected by the document selecting device from the viewpoint represented by the evaluation attributes defined in the evaluation format.
