| Popis: | 97 This is a time of information explosion, information spread in all kind of sources. Searching for data which user needs to flip through books is slow and inefficient. Although the medicinal plant field is an extensive and complex domain, if we gather these data in a database, querying data from database would be convenient and time saving.The aim of this database is to link three fields, medicinal plants, herb and recipe, and offer multi-option-query function. Following the model SDLC(system development life cycle), I formulated 5 procedures to set up the medicinal plant database system step by step, which include preliminary investigation, analysis of the database system, design of the database system, implementation of the database system, and maintenance of the database system. The medicinal plant field includes traditional Chinese pharmacology, Western pharmacology, and botany views. Therefore, the information in these three views would be gathered in the database to make sure users can acquire all-round data. The database can supply advantages such as: 1.learning the knowledge of medicinal plants becomes easy; 2. learning the knowledge of herb becomes easy too; 3. queries of the components and efficacies of herb becomes convenient; 4.can go deep into the herb researches. In order to satisfy these advantages, some data need to be gathered. 1. The basic information of a plant, which means the facts of plant, such as its scientific name. 2. The basic information of herb. 3. The efficacy of herb in both Chinese pharmacology and Western pharmacology opinion. 4. The usage instruction and contraindications of herb and ricpe. In design of query surface, I designed two level of query type.One is basic query system which offered only one attribute to query, basic query include name-query, efficacy-query and symptom-query. The other one is adavance query system which offered more then one attributes to query. Adavance query include medicinal-plants-query, herb-query, recipe-query and multi-query. Through the careful design, supplying a convenient and efficient query is expected. |
