METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ATTRIBUTE SELECTION USING CORRELATION RULE AND STORAGE MEDIUM RECORDED WITH ATTRIBUTE SELECTING PROGRAM USING CORRELATION RULE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically select an attribute to be visualized by extracting the feature of data from information of a database and a file and selecting an attribute of figure information to be converted by using a correlation rule as the extracted feature of the data. SOLUTION: Data 101 in table format as input data stored in an information source database 100 are converted by a data format converting device 103 into data 102 in transaction format and the feature of the data is extracted from the converted data 102 by using the correlation rule. According to information conversion definition information 105 which is based upon the correlation rule and generated by a definition generation support device 104 as the feature of data automatically generating combinational definitions of parameters, an information converting device 106 converts information source data into figure data, which are displayed by a display device 107. Consequently, an object attribute to be visualized can automatically be selected.
