Abstract

The invention provides data processing, data control and information methods and systems for efficiently duplicating contents of a database in the data control system. An example of a data processing system includes: a cache unit acquiring, from a data control system which categorizes a plurality of data elements into a plurality of clusters and stores the plurality of clusters; a group-of-clusters update information acquisition unit for acquiring from the data control system group-of-clusters update information with respect to a group of clusters consisting of two or more clusters; a group-of-clusters update information computation unit for computing group-of-clusters update information with respect to the group of clusters based on two or more pieces of cluster update information; and an update judging unit for judging that a cached data element belonging to the group of clusters is the most updated one.
