Abstract
When a new data file is received from the interface, the data management apparatus stores it in the storage unit. When an instruction to move the new data file to a folder is entered by the user via the input unit, the keywords assigned to the existing data files in the folder are extracted. The extracted keywords are then assigned to the new data file as its keywords.
