Abstract

An information processing system includes a processor configured to receive entry of an attribute given to a document as a search key for searching for a document, and search for the document by using a representative value of a group including plural first attributes having similar meanings as elements thereof in a case where the received search key includes any one of the first attributes, a second attribute being set as the representative value of the group.

Claims (44)

1 . An information processing system comprising

a processor configured to

receive entry of an attribute given to a document as a search key for searching for a document, and

search for the document by using a representative value of a group including a plurality of first attributes having similar meanings as elements thereof in a case where the received search key includes any one of the first attributes, a second attribute being set as the representative value of the group.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to search for a document given the second attribute, which is the representative value of the group including the first attributes as the elements thereof.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein

the second attribute is given on a directory basis, which is used for hierarchical document management.

4 . An information processing system comprising: a processor configured to

receive entry of an attribute given to a document as a search key for searching for a document, and

search for the document by using all elements of a group including a plurality of first attributes having similar meanings as elements thereof in a case where the received search key includes any one of the first attributes, a second attribute being set as the representative value of the group.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to search for a document given any one of the elements of the group including the first attributes as the elements thereof.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein

the first attributes are given by a user.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where the second attribute is given on a directory basis, which is used for hierarchical document management, generate a group of the first attributes having similar meanings given to documents belonging to the directory and the second attribute that gives a representative value of the group.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where the second attribute is given on a directory basis, which is used for hierarchical document management, generate a group of the first attributes having similar meanings given to documents belonging to the directory and the second attribute that gives a representative value of the group.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where a change is made to the elements of the group, update association between the first attributes and the second attribute.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 8 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where a change is made to the elements of the group, update association between the first attributes and the second attribute.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where a user gives the first attributes to documents, present the second attribute on a basis of use frequency.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where a user gives the first attributes to documents, present the second attribute on a basis of use frequency.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 11 , wherein

the processor is configured to present the first attributes in descending order of frequency of use in a search key.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 12 , wherein

the processor is configured to present the first attributes in descending order of frequency of use in a search key.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where there is a first attribute belonging to both of a first group, which is the group, and a second group, update association between the first attributes and the second attribute in accordance with a predetermined rule.

16 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where there is a first attribute belonging to both of a first group, which is the group, and a second group, update association between the first attributes and the second attribute in accordance with a predetermined rule.

17 . The information processing system according to claim 15 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where the whole first group is included in the second group, add the second attribute, which gives the representative value of the first group, to elements of the second group.

18 . The information processing system according to claim 15 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where a part of the first group and a part of the second group overlap each other and one of the first and second groups does not include the other one of the first and second groups, set a first attribute in an overlapping part as an element of one of the first and second groups that includes a smaller number of elements.

19 . The information processing system according to claim 15 , wherein

the processor is configured to, in a case where a part of the first group and a part of the second group overlap each other and one of the first and second groups does not include the other one of the first and second groups, set a first attribute in an overlapping part as an element of one of the first and second groups whose corresponding document belongs to a lower directory.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

receiving entry of an attribute given to a document as a search key for searching for a document, and

searching for the document by using a representative value of a group including a plurality of first attributes having similar meanings as elements thereof in a case where the received search key includes any one of the first attributes, a second attribute being set as the representative value of the group.
