摘要:
A data classification processing apparatus assumes that data stored in a database is extracted based on a user instruction. The data classification processing apparatus comprises an information managing unit storing a management point that defines the classification method of the data stored in the database without making the classification method dependent on a particular data item, and an inquiring unit searching the database based on the classification method of the data, which is defined in the management point stored in the information managing unit, in response to a data inquiry from the user.
