SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING CONCEPT LATTICE-BASED QUERY TERM MAPPING BY WEIGHT VALUES OF USERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a concept lattice-based query term mapping system which collects terms (terms in use) used correlatively with one another by a plurality of users, and represents terms associated with specific terms (query terms) in a graph. The system takes, as an input, terms being used by each user in sets (sets of terms), makes a concept lattice graph in which the sets of terms and users are used as nodes, and makes a graph for terms related to query terms using the concept lattice graph. The system and method of the present invention involve automatically analyzing the relationship among terms which are used correlatively with one another by users, and representing the relationship in a graph, to thereby intuitively show the relationship among terms in use.
