METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING DATA USING HIERARCHICAL CLASSIFICATION

摘要

A method and an apparatus for displaying information based on hierarchical classification are provided to supply a user visually with a variety of classification information configured in a hierarchical form as a basic structure and statistical information about mass media indexed under lately-issued ontology based semantic web environment, and browse the media information. A first classification reference corresponding to at least two pre-decided ontology semantic structure classes is selected(201). Information corresponding to each selected first classification reference is searched. The searched information is classified in correspondence with a second classification reference as an ontology semantic structure class lower than the first classification reference. A matrix where the at least two first classification references are respectively an axis and the second classification reference is a component of the axis is generated(207).
