ABSTRACT:
A general-information storing unit stores general information sets which are managed by a general-information managing unit which is provided in a network. A plurality of sectional-information storing units store respective sectional information sets which are managed by respective ones of a plurality of sectional-information managing units. The plurality of sectional-information managing units are provided in the network. A plurality of personal-information storing units store respective personal information sets which are managed by respective ones of a plurality of personal-information managing units. The plurality of personal-information managing units are provided in the network. An automatic retrieval unit retrieves a predetermined information unit from among the general information sets, sectional information sets, and personal information sets, in response to a relevant retrieval command being input to said information retrieval system. This retrieval is achieved by searching the above information units in either a bottom-up manner or a top-down manner using directory information for managing all the above information units hierarchically.
