Abstract:
1. A method for constructing a service providing system using a framework for service providing system which provides a service for an object system, said method comprising the steps of: preparing a framework for service providing system, which includes a data holding part for holding data relating to an object system for which a service providing system constructed by said framework provides a service, a user interface part for receiving instructions from a user comprising an end user and for presenting data to the user when the user employs the constructed service providing system, the user interface part providing an interface between a computer and the user using the computer, an object system interface part for exchanging data between the object system interface part and said object system in accordance with a predetermined protocol, and an integrated control part for controlling said data holding part, said user interface part and said object system interface part; preparing a plurality of classes on the basis of each of said data holding part, said user interface part, said object system interface part and said integrated control part of said framework for service providing system; associating said classes with each other; and defining a sequence carried out between the respective classes wherein said object system interface part of said framework for service providing system converts external data, which are exchanged between said object system interface part and said object system, into a format of intermediate data which is independent of said protocol, and said integrated control part of said framework for service providing system converts said intermediate data into a format of internal data which is handled in said service providing system, said data holding part and user interface part of said framework for service providing system handling said internal data which have been converted by said integrated control part.
