Document processing method and system, and computer-readable recording medium having document processing program recorded therein
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for processing a document comprising the steps of:
- generating a shared information block as a set of shared information appearing in a plurality of documents;
storing the generated shared information block in a first memory;
describing a link to the shared information in the documents;
storing the link-described documents in a second memory; and
reading out from said memories said generated shared information and described-document, embedding the shared information in the link-described document according to the links described therein and said generated shared information, and generating and outputting information indicative of a document having the shared information embedded therein.

Abstract
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.

-
generating as a shared information block information frequently appearing in a plurality of structured documents;
storing the generated shared information block in a first memory;
listing said stored shared information up depending upon the types of information;
editing said structured documents and describing a link to said shared information selected from said listed-up edited shared information, into said structured document;
storing the link-described structured documents in a second memory; and
reading out from said first and second memories said generated shared information and said link-described structured document, embedding the shared information in the link-described structured document according to the links described therein and said generated shared information, and generating and outputting information indicative of a structured document having the shared information embedded therein. - View Dependent Claims (17)

16. A processor-implemented method for processing a document in a network to which connected are a processor, a first and a second memory and a plurality of terminals each serving as a client;
- comprising the steps of;
generating a shared information block as a set of shared information appearing in a plurality of documents entered from the terminals;
storing the generated shared information block in said first memory;
describing a link to the shared information in the documents at the terminal;
storing the link-described documents in said second memory;
in response to an access request for a document specified from the terminal, reading out from said first and second memories said generated shared information and described document, embedding the shared information in the link-described document according to the links described therein and said generated shared information; and
generating and outputting information indicative of a document having the shared information embedded therein.
- comprising the steps of;
