Abstract

Provided is an information system and an information collection method that are capable of acquiring desired site data while preventing an increase in cost. A link logic definition unit 17 holds a link logic that is definition information defining a correspondence relation between an item value of the site data and a reference value that is an external value of transaction data used for acquiring the item value. A link logic data acquisition unit 18 acquires the item value of the site data by using the link logic.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information system for acquiring an item value that is a value of site data based on an external value that is a value of external data, the information system comprising: a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor configures the processor to:
store a link logic model that is definition information defining a correspondence relation between the item value and a reference value that is the external value used for acquiring the item value, and
obtain a search node and a search item to be searched from stored task information, among the site data, to search for,
for each search item in the site data, determine whether the link logic model is necessary for acquiring the item value based on the external value,
upon determining the link logic model is not necessary, acquire the item value from the search item,
upon determining the link logic model is necessary,
obtain a link logic parameter of the search item,
create a correspondence relation table between parameters and values of the site data corresponding to the parameters,
acquire the link logic model,
based on the correspondence relation table, assign values of the parameters to create link logic based on the link logic model, and
acquire the item value of the site data based on the link logic.

2. The information system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the site data is generated according to a plurality of tasks in a manufacturing process of manufacturing a product,
wherein the process is configured to:
generate association data indicating an association between a plurality of pieces of the site data, and
search for a designated site data based on the association data.

3. The information system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the link logic defines the correspondence relation by a logical expression having one or more parameters, and
wherein the processor is configured to specify reference value by assigning a value corresponding to the item value into the parameter, and acquire the item value based on the reference value.

4. The information system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the external data includes an acquisition date and time at which each external value is acquired, and
wherein the link logic defines an acquisition date and time at which the external value to be used as the reference value is acquired.

5. The information system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the external data has a table structure, and
wherein the link logic defines a column configured to store the external value to be used as the reference value in the external data.

6. The information system according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of pieces of the external data are provided, and
wherein the link logic defines the external data having the external value used as the reference value.

7. The information system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the link logic defines an operation configured to calculate the item value from the reference value.

8. An information collection method performed by an information system for acquiring an item value that is a value of site data based on an external value that is a value of external data, the information collection method comprising:
holding a link logic model that is definition information defining a correspondence relation between the item value and a reference value that is the external value used for acquiring the item value;
obtaining a search node and a search item to be searched from stored task information, among the site data, to search for;
for each search item in the site data, determining whether the link logic model is necessary for acquiring the item value based on the external value;
upon determining the link logic model is not necessary
acquiring the item value from the search item;
upon determining the link logic model is necessary:
obtaining a link logic parameter of the search item;
creating a correspondence relation table between parameters and values of the site data corresponding to the parameters;
acquiring the link logic model;
based on the correspondence relation table, assigning values of the parameters to create link logic based on the link logic model, and
acquiring the item value of the site data based on the link logic.
