Abstract: A user interface enables the user to select a classification scheme from a group of classification schemes indicated by classification scheme information. The classification scheme information is stored in a classification-scheme storage unit as results of classification performed on data of arbitrary databases. The user interface also enables the user to select, from the group of databases, a database to which the selected classification scheme is applied. A classification module classifies the data of the selected database based on the selected classification scheme.

Abstract: A file management system in a computer having a file system, which manages by a hierarchical management system, comprises file retrieval condition specifying means to specify file retrieval condition, file retrieval means to retrieve files based on a specified retrieval condition specified by the file retrieval condition specifying means, retrieval result display means to display a retrieval result of files by the file retrieval means, file selection means to select one file among files displayed by the retrieval result display means, and display means to display path information by which the storage position of the file selected by this file selection means is shown by the tree form.
