A data display system (10) and a patent map forming system (20) give
evaluation values obtained by a predetermined evaluation axis or an
arbitrarily set evaluation value in cooperation with each other, and
forms a map sheet (MS) on the basis of the evaluation values. The data
display system (10) acquires a first-class identification code such as a
publication number from a basic data sheet (DS) obtained by listing
bibliographical information or the like of a patent input by a
spreadsheet software (22) from an input file, and an identification code
conversion unit converts (12) the first-class identification code into a
second-class identification code. A patent data server (SV) is directly
accessed by the second-class identification code to read an abstract, a
representative drawing, all documents, drawings, and the like, serving as
detailed data, thereby displaying these data on a display (DP).
