Abstract

A data creating apparatus extracts meta data about a topic from a document, the meta data including at least one linguistic expression about a behavior, a plurality of the linguistic expressions having a first modification relation. The data creating apparatus converts the linguistic expressions included in the behavioral meta data into each class, based on a behavior ontology that is expressed by a graph where the linguistic expression about a behavior is an instance and a concept of the instance is a class to create behavior map data that represents each of the classes converted and also representing a second modification relation among the classes as a link.

Claims (11)

1. A relevant-behavior information output apparatus, comprising:

a storage unit that stores behavior map data, which represents behavior classes corresponding to a concept of a linguistic expression about a plurality of behaviors, topic classes corresponding to a concept of a linguistic expression about a plurality of topics, a modification relation among the behavior classes as a first link, and a modification relation among the behavior classes and the topic classes as a second link;

an acquiring unit that acquires topic information indicating a target topic and behavior information indicating a current user behavior;

a searching unit that searches the behavior map data corresponding to a topic indicated by the topic information in the storage unit and obtains relevant behavior map data;

a selecting unit that selects, as a relevant behavior relevant to the behavior indicated by the behavior information, a behavior class linked via the first link with a certain behavior class in the behavior map data obtained as a result of the search, such that the certain behavior class is equivalent to a concept of the behavior indicated by the behavior information and the certain behavior class is linked via the second link with a tropic class equivalent to a concept of the topic indicated by the tropic information; and

an output unit that outputs relevant behavior information indicating the relevant behavior.

2. A relevant-behavior information output method implemented in a relevant-behavior information output apparatus including a storage unit that stores behavior map data, which represents behavior classes corresponding to a concept of a linguistic expression about a plurality of behaviors, topic classes corresponding to a concept of a linguistic expression about a plurality of topics, a modification relation among the behavior classes as a first link, and a modification relation among the behavior classes and the topic classes as a second link, the method comprising:

acquiring topic information indicating a target topic and behavior information indicating a current user behavior;

searching the behavior map data corresponding to a topic indicated by the topic information in the storage unit and obtaining relevant behavior map data;

selecting, as a relevant behavior relevant to the behavior indicated by the behavior information, a behavior class linked via the first link with a certain behavior class in the behavior map data obtained as a result of the search, such that the certain behavior class is equivalent to a concept of the behavior indicated by the behavior information and the certain behavior class is linked via the second link with a topic class equivalent to a concept of the topic indicated by the topic information; and

outputting relevant behavior information indicating the relevant behavior.
