Abstract
Binary data to which meta-data is to be appended, and meta-data to be appended to the binary data are loaded. The meta-data has an XML format. The loaded meta-data is connected after the loaded binary data. The data synthesized in this manner is output as a single file as a whole. In this file data, since header information remains the same as that before connection of the meta-data, binary data can be reproduced by an existing browser or the like. A binary file with meta-data can be discriminated by checking if data in a correct XML format is present at the end of data.

92. A data processing method for registering meta-data to content of data, comprising:
-
a first loading step of loading content of data to which meta-data is to be appended;
a second loading step of loading meta-data to be appended to the content of data;
a connection step of connecting the meta-data loaded in the second loading step so that the meta-data follows the content of data loaded in the first loading step; and
an output step of outputting data obtained in the connection step as a single file. - View Dependent Claims (93, 94, 95, 96, 97)

98. A data processing apparatus for registering meta-data to content of data, comprising:
-
a first loading device adapted to load content of data to which meta-data is to be appended;
a second loading device adapted to load meta-data to be appended to the content of data;
a connection device adapted to connect the meta-data loaded by the second loading device so that the meta-data follows the content of data loaded by the first loading device; and
an output device adapted to output data obtained by the connection device as a single file. - View Dependent Claims (99, 100, 101, 102, 103)

104. A storage medium on which is stored a control program for making a computer implement a data process for registering meta-data to content of data, said data process comprising:
-
a first loading step of loading content of data to which meta-data is to be appended;
a second loading step of loading meta-data to be appended to the content of data;
a connection step of connecting the meta-data loaded in the second loading step so that the meta-data follows the content of data loaded in the first loading step; and
an output step of outputting data obtained in the connection step as a single file. - View Dependent Claims (105, 106, 107, 108, 109)
