Method and system for management of structured document and medium having processing program therefor
First Claim
1. A structured document managing method of managing a structured document formed by a plurality of elements, comprising:
- a data content updating step in which any file forming a registered document is selected as an object of updating by referring to relationship data indicating relationship between an entity structure and a logical structure instance of the registered document and the data content of the selected update object file is updated;
a partial relationship data generating step of generating partial relationship data indicating relationship between an entity structure and a logical structure instance of the update object file after updating; and
a relationship data updating step of updating relationship data of the registered document, when the entity structure of said registered document is updated based on updated information included in the generated partial relationship data, by updating said logical structure instance of the registered document corresponding to the updated entity structure of said registered document.

Abstract
In a structured document managing method and system for managing a structured document formed by a plurality of elements, any file forming a registered document is selected as an object of updating from relationship data indicating an entity structure and a logical structure of the registered document and the data content of the selected update object file is updated. There is generated partial relationship data which indicates an entity structure and a logical structure of the update object file after updating. Relationship data of the registered document is updated by use of the generated partial relationship data. Thereby, a logical structure and an entity structure possessed by a document are managed in association with each other in a mutually convertible form.

7. A structured document managing method of managing a structured document described by use of a document markup language, comprising:
-
a logical structure editing step of selecting any arbitrary logical structure portion instance of a registered document as an object of updating from relationship data indicating relationship between an entity structure and a logical structure instance of the registered document, and subjecting the selected logical structure to edition;
an edition result data generating step of generating edition result data in which partial relationship data indicating relationship between an entity structure and a logical structure portion instance of a file existing in the region of said logical structure portion instance subjected to edition is described in a character string form;
