<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a method and a system for generating response information for each of subjects according to a work flow for managing the work flow. <P>SOLUTION: A document server receives a document about a certain subject (105), requests it (115), and summarizes it into a subject record. If further information about the document is necessary (110, 125), an electronic notification message having a form including some response fields is transmitted to an agent (140). The form is described in a regulation base language, for example, an XML readable by a computer system. The agent inputs the response information in the response field (145) and transmits an electronic response message including the response information to the document server (150). After the subject record is updated based on the received response information (155), the document server determines whether another document is necessary or not (110) or whether human intervention is necessary or not (125) based on the updated subject record. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
