Abstract:
Abstract—In data management, there is a situation where equivalent objects are managed in different management spaces. This often brings about a lack of data consistency, which can often decrease the efficiency of management work. We call it the data overlapping problem. We consider the attaching function by an equivalent relation in the Incrementally Modular Abstraction Hierarchy to be quite effective to solve the problem. In this paper, we propose a metadata centralized space, a data centralized space, and their interconversion maps using Formula Expression. We then apply them to parts ledger management, where part data oftentimes becomes unexpectedly overlapped in metadata schema-centered management. These help users to arrange dynamic worlds from a data-centric viewpoint and prevent data overlap. In other words, if you utilize these functions in data management, you can reconstruct data spaces from different viewpoints.
