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.

19. A data processing method for discriminating meta-data which is registered to binary data, comprising:
-
the loading step of loading data;
the judging step of inspecting the data loaded in the loading step from an end, and judging if data described in a correct format in a predetermined data description language is present; and
the discrimination step of discriminating meta-data included in the data on the basis of a judgment result in the judging step. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91)

77. A storage medium for storing a control program for making a computer implement a data process for discriminating meta-data which is registered to binary data, said control program comprising:
-
a code of the loading step of loading data;
a code of the judging step of inspecting the data loaded in the loading step from an end, and judging if data described in a correct format in a predetermined data description language is present; and
a code of the discrimination step of discriminating meta-data included in the data on the basis of a judgment result in the judging step. - View Dependent Claims (78, 79, 80, 81)
