About

The (noun)のうえでは is used to express "according to (noun)" or "from the perspective of (noun)".

This pattern is very similar to 「(noun)上」, but is mainly used to express "according to X", and can be used with a wider variety of nouns.

では emphasizes the following phrase, giving us two common patterns of use:

① (noun)のうえでは ...... が・けど、......。

② (noun)のうえでは ......。

Pattern ① uses は's emphatic powers to set up a contrastive statement between "according to (noun)" and a given reality, while pattern ② simply emphasizes that "according to/based on/from X perspective... X is the case".

E.g. この書類しょるいうえでは5がつ15にちまれとなっていますが、本当ほんとうは5がつ13にちなんです。 "According to these documents, (their) date of birth is May 15th, but it's actually May 13th."

E.g. 人間にんげん歴史れきしは、なが地球ちきゅう歴史れきしうえではほんの一部いちぶにすぎません。 "From the perspective of the long history of the Earth, human history is but one small part."

E.g. 健康けんこう診断しんだん結果けっかうえでは問題もんだいがなかったが、どうも調子ちょうしくない。 "I don't have any issues according to my health check-up, but I somehow just don't feel good."
