Data linkage system, method and program

Abstract

A data linkage system according to one or more embodiments may make it possible to allow data handled by one system to be handled by another system. The data linkage system includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a first individual specification data from the one system; and a storage unit that stores a forward conversion rule for converting data having an individual specification to data having a standard specification. The data linkage system further includes a conversion unit that converts, with reference to the forward conversion rule, the first individual specification data to standard specification data, wherein the storage unit stores the converted standard specification data.

         8 . The data linkage system according to  claim 7 , wherein
 the output unit executes, based on a predetermined output timing, one of: a real time process that immediately outputs the merchandise information data having the second individual specification stored in the storage unit to the another system; and a scheduled process that outputs the merchandise information data having the second individual specification stored in the storage unit to the another system according to a schedule, monitors output timing and, when an output time for outputting to the another system arrives according to the real time process or according to the schedule, reads the second individual specification and outputs the merchandise information data having the second individual specification to the another system at the output time.   
     
     
         9 . A data linkage method to allow data handled by one system that transmits merchandise information data to be handled by another system that receives the merchandise information data, comprising:
 acquiring merchandise information data having a first individual specification from the one system;   converting, with reference to a forward conversion rule, which is stored in a storage unit, for converting merchandise information data having an individual specification to merchandise information data having a standard specification, the merchandise information data having the first individual specification to merchandise information data having the standard specification; and   storing the converted merchandise information data having the standard specification into the storage unit, wherein   converting further comprises
 storing, in the storage unit, a reverse conversion rule to convert merchandise information data having the standard specification to merchandise information data having an individual specification, and 
 converting, with reference to the reverse conversion rule, the converted merchandise information data having the standard specification to merchandise information data having a second individual specification, 
   the data linkage method further comprises outputting the converted merchandise information data having the second individual specification to be used for an loT device to the another system,   acquiring merchandise information data further comprises acquiring, from the one system, a system identifier of the one system and a system identifier of the another system, and   converting further comprises
 converting, based on the forward conversion rule associated with the system identifier of the one system, the merchandise information data having the first individual specification to the merchandise information data having the standard specification, and converting, based on the reverse conversion rule associated with the system identifier of the another system, the data having the standard specification to the merchandise information data having the second individual specification. 
   
     
     
         10 . A data linkage method according to  claim 9 , further comprising:
 outputting the converted merchandise information data further comprises executing, based on a predetermined output timing, one of: a real time process that immediately outputs the merchandise information data having the second individual specification stored in the storage unit to the another system; and a scheduled process that outputs the merchandise information data having the second individual specification stored in the storage unit to the another system according to a schedule, monitors output timing and, when an output time for outputting to the another system arrives according to the real time process or according to the schedule, reads the second individual specification and outputs the merchandise information data having the second individual specification to the another system at the output time.   
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a data linkage program to allow data handled by one system that transmits merchandise information data to be handled by another system that receives the merchandise information data, the linkage program, when executed, causing a processer to perform operations comprising:
 acquiring merchandise information data having a first individual specification from the one system;   converting, with reference to a forward conversion rule, which is stored in a storage unit, for converting merchandise information data having an individual specification to merchandise information data having a standard specification, the merchandise information data having the first individual specification to merchandise information data having the standard specification; and   storing the converted merchandise information data having the standard specification into the storage unit, wherein   converting further comprises
