Abstract
An input unit inputs a predicate which describes a plurality of selected elements being elements selected by a user. A predicate generation unit extracts two or more than two selected elements that are dependent on the same element in a higher layer, from the plurality of selected elements described in the predicate. Furthermore, the predicate generation unit reduces the number of elements described in the predicate by replacing a description of the two or more than two selected elements extracted with a description of the element in the higher layer.
