When a user inputs a search condition, an agent sends, to a database of each organization to which the user does not have an access right, a search request including the search condition and the ID of a cooperation participant member having an access right to the database of the organization. A proxy of each organization causes the search device to search for a chain of links that connect between a data element that meets the search condition in the search request from the agent and a data element that represents the cooperation participant member in the search request, and returns to the agent information on a cooperation participant member that may have access to the data element that meets the search condition on the basis of the search result.

A search apparatus searches graph data representing a graph including nodes and links. The search apparatus includes the following elements. An input receiving unit receives an input of a reference node indicating a search reference position on the graph and an input of a search condition indicating a condition satisfied by a node, a link, or a combination of a node and a link. A searching unit searches the graph data for a node, a link, or a combination of a node and a link that satisfies the search condition. A search result data generating unit generates search result data indicating at least one search result obtained by the searching unit, together with path data showing a path on the graph from the reference node to each of the at least one search result.

Search apparatus, search method, and computer readable medium

A search apparatus includes a graph memory, a root node specification receiving unit, and a search unit. The graph memory stores data of a graph having nodes representing data elements and a link representing a relationship between the data elements. The root node specification receiving unit receives a root node specified from among the nodes in the graph. The search unit searches for an adjacent node which is connected to a target node via a link and which satisfies a search condition that at least one of the target node and the adjacent node has a predetermined attribute. The search unit searches for an adjacent node using the root node as the target node. The search unit iteratively performs a process of searching for an adjacent node using a previously determined adjacent node as the target node for a subsequent iteration to obtain a concatenation of adjacent nodes.

A shape measuring system reduced in size and cost and high in the light utilization efficiency, as well as a shape measuring method, are disclosed which can measure the distance up to an object accurately without being influenced by external conditions such as a change in reflectance of the surface of the object. A semiconductor laser emits an intensity-modulated illumination light. A plane sensor detects a combined light of both a reflected light from an object and a reference light and outputs a composite light detection signal. The semiconductor laser also emits an illumination light which is a stationary light not intensity-modulated. At this time, a shutter is closed. The plane sensor detects the reflected light from the object and outputs a detection signal thereof. For the composite light detection signal a distance calculator makes correction for eliminating the influence of reflectance of the object on the basis of a detection signal of a reflected stationary light and thereafter calculates the distance up to the object on the basis of the composite light detection signal after the correction.
