A process for document registration is executed with a structured document of a file as an input. An analyzed structured document and information for document search are generated and stored in databases, respectively. A query input is analyzed, a document search index is read and a search process is executed, producing matching document identifier information and matching strings position information. Then, a corresponding analyzed structured document is read from the database based on the document identifier information, the matching information is embedded in the structured document based on the matching strings position information, and a structured document with added highlight information is generated and displayed. A document is searched from which the element information constituting a stumbling block to the search is removed, and the result of the search is displayed with highlight information added to the original structured document.

Method and apparatus for searching and displaying structured document

A computer-implemented method and system for processing a document such as a structured document in which information such as a term, name and belonging department is used as shared information and word consistency or modification can be automatically and easily reflected on all documents. In the document processing method, a shared information editing program edits shared information shared information frequently described in a plurality of documents, a shared information storage program stores the edited shared information in a secondary memory, a shared information list-up program lists up the shared information for each information type, a structured document editing program edits a structured document to describe a link to the shared information selected from the edited shared information listed up, a structured document storage program stores the structured document in the secondary memory, and a structured document output program reads out the shared information and structured document from the secondary memory and embeds the contents of the shared information in the structured document for its display or printout.

This art can manage a preparation history of a transaction document and a send and receive history by EDI in a centralized manner. When the transaction document and the version are selected and attached to the EDI data, then the EDI data is sent, a means that links a document management means and an EDI means registers sending information of the EDI data in version control information of the relevant transaction document.

The present invention extracts common portions each composed of a structure and text character strings included commonly in both an original version and a revised version of a structured document, and difference portions specific to either the original version or the revised version. Based on the extraction results from the above two version documents, the present invention creates a multi-version document having version description tags attached thereto. When a further-revised version is created, the present invention performs the above process on the latest version included in the created multi-version document and the further-revised version to create a new multi-version document. By using the created multi-version document, it is possible to collectively display changes made to all the versions as well as to display the change history of a portion to which each change was made.

Method and system for managing documents

A document difference extraction method and apparatus which is used for extracting the difference between structured documents properly meeting the sense of a document editor taking the logical meaning and structure of the structured documents into consideration. Structured documents are edited and stored in a memory unit by a document editing program. With reference to a comparison criterion set for the logical structure of each structured document before and after edition, the logical structure of the structural documents before and after edition read from the memory unit is analyzed by a structured document parsing program, and the difference between the structured documents is extracted by a structured document difference extraction program in such a manner as to satisfy the comparison criterion in accordance with the result of parsing. The comparison criterion assumes the form of a table containing a plurality of tags representing logical structures and types of tags for the comparison criterion. The tag types for comparison criterion include tags having contents which are compared only when the particular tags are coincident with each other, tags having contents which are ignored at the time of comparison, a set of tags having the same logical meaning, and a set of tags having contents which are not compared with each other.

Each time a document or a program source is edited, version information including its version name and creation date is stored in a storage. Configuration information of a plurality of documents and program sources is stored in another storage. The version and configuration information is read from the storages such that information of constituent elements of a project such as documents and program sources is placed in a vertical direction and version information of the elements is placed by use of a creation date as a reference in a horizontal direction for a two-dimensional display thereof. With the configuration, there is provided a display method of clearly presenting to the user a display image in which version information is combined with configuration information.

A table of a manual for xx product (1st edition) includes component names, file names, version up mode and version numbers of a project. When the version up mode is a fixed mode, a version number in the table is fixed, while in an auto-changing mode components are edited and when a new version is prepared, a version number is updated. Versions V,and V,of a table of contents, versions V,and V,of a first chapter and the like show registered states in version information management tables. Table of contents of up to V,is prepared, while since it is set to a fixed mode in the table, V,thereof is fixed. In case of first chapter, when V,thereof is prepared, it is updated to V,in the table since it is set to auto-changing mode and the version number thereof is updated each time a new version is prepared until it is changed to a fixed mode. In this manner, versions of compositions, drawings and the like constituting a project such as a manual are managed and the relation between any versions is managed as an aggregate.
