<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To extract a reference relationship between electronic documents by specifying the hierarchical structure of document transmission based on a communication plan. <P>SOLUTION: A communication plan database 110 stores a communication plan by summarizing "which document" should be transmitted "from whom", "to whom", "when", and "how". A non-reference relationship extraction means 120 extracts which document transmission between which members is non-reference based on the communication plan, and generates a non-reference relationship table. A hierarchical structure specification means 130 specifies a hierarchical structure from the start user to the end user in the document transmission by considering the non-reference relationship displayed in the non-reference relational table based on the transmission records of the electronic document stored in the communication plan or the transmission document database 330. Thus, it is possible to extract the reference relation between the electronic documents by such a structure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
