For interactive operation between different enterprises or organizations, it is necessary to provide high-quality map information by not only displaying the results of retrieval from the map information servers of those organizations in a superimposed manner but also performing distributed retrieval on the basis of a relationship matched in sense between the servers. Thus, an interface is provided in which the optimum relationships between objects provided from the map servers distributed on the Internet environment and objects defined by a desired application are generated and a work of confirmation and modification by a user can easily be done. Thereby, a cost required for a complicated relating procedure indispensable to an interactive operating system is reduced.
