OFFICE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, OFFICE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, AND OFFICE MANAGEMENT METHOD

摘要

A technique is provided for data coordination across a multiplicity of phases. A data receiving means (2b) receives an interface dataset (4) from the (i-1)th upstream phase. With reference to relevant representative datasets in the interface dataset (4), a phase-specific service management means (2a) performs its assigned services to produce a phase dataset. By consulting a schema (1b) corresponding to the ith phase, a representative dataset extracting means (2e) searches the phase dataset to extract a representative dataset which is minimum but sufficient for use in the subsequent phases. A relationship descriptor generating means (2f) produces relationship descriptors indicating usage relationships between this new representative dataset and the representative datasets including in the interface dataset that the data receiving means (2b) has received. A data combining means (2g) appends the representative dataset and relationship descriptors to the interface dataset (4), thus producing a modified interface dataset (5).
