ABSTRACT:
A resource management system, of the type wherein processes are applied to real resources, which are resources previously input into a computer system that performs information processing, to obtain new resources, includes a plurality of context maintaining units that respectively establish a correspondence with attributes. Each of the context maintaining units includes an attribute maintaining unit that stores in memory attributes of the respective context maintaining unit; a name analysis unit that performs name analysis on resource names using as input resource names given to the resources, to obtain name analysis results; and a name conversion unit that converts name analysis results from the name analysis unit into one of a first resource realization expression and a second resource realization expression. The system further includes a selection unit that creates second context search expressions used in searching at least one of the plurality of context maintaining units on the basis of expressions that have been previously input, using as input expressions used to select at least one of the plurality of context maintaining units; a context search unit that searches one of a context maintaining unit having attributes in accordance with first context search expressions obtained by the name conversion unit of the context maintaining unit and a context maintaining unit having attributes in accordance with second context search expressions created by the selection unit; and an extraction unit that outputs a context expression which includes information necessary to create a context maintaining unit equivalent to the context maintaining unit searched by the context search unit on the basis of the second context search expressions.
