SIMILARITY DEGREE TABLE PREPARING DEVICE IN CONCEPTION HIERARCHY

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide the similarity degree table preparing device in a conception hierarchy, for preparing a similarity degree table between each attribute value is accordance with a user's intention, while maintaining the balance and the consistency of the degree of similarity in the whole conception hierarchy. ;CONSTITUTION: A similarity degree temporary file 7 stores a similarity degree table. The constraint inputted from a constraint input part 9 is stored in a constraint file 10. When a user inputs the new degree of similarity from a similarity degree input part 11, a similarity degree setting part 12 sets the new degree of similarity to the similarity degree table. The user selects a propagation state from a propagation state input part 16. A similarity degree propagating part 13 propagates the new degree of propagation to other degree of similarity stored in the similarity degree table, based on the constraint. A matching adjusting part 14 adjusts each degree of similarity of the similarity degree table, based on the constraint.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO
