Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a generating unit that, based on schema information defining a structure of an object, generates the object that has a duplicating function for generating a clone as a copy of self. There is a receiving unit that receives a generation request for generating the object and a requesting unit that requests generation of the clone to the object when the duplicating function of the object for which the generation request is received is determined to be available. Further, there is an output unit that outputs the clone generated by the object, whose duplicating function is determined to be available, to a source that has issued the generation request for generating the object.
