Abstract

Convenience of a user is improved in handling data included in a plurality of structured document files. A child document file is created by a schema inheriting a schema in a parent document file in which a plurality of tags are structured. A name of a substance tag in a child document file inheriting a model tag included in a parent document file is changeable in accordance with a user'"'"'s input direction. At the time, a tag mapping table is held, in which a name of a substance tag included in a child document file and a name of a model tag which is the origin of the substance tag are associated with each other. A name of a substance tag corresponding to a model tag of which name is a search key is detected, with reference to the tag mapping table, and then, the data of the substance tag is detected from the child document file, by using the name of the substance tag as a new search key.

6. The document processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a data display unit which displays data included in a structured document file; and

a display control unit which, upon receiving a user'"'"'s input direction in which a model tag corresponding to the element data which is not a display target is specified, detects a substance tag associated with the model tag in the tag mapping table, and excludes the element data identified by the substance tag in the structured document file, from a display target.

7. The document processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the correspondence detecting unit detects a model tag of which name is in a synonym relation with the name of the substance tag detected from the structured document file, as a model tag which is in the predetermined relation with the substance tag, with reference to a synonym data table in which a combination of words which are in a synonym relation with each other is defined.

8. The document processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the correspondence detecting unit detects a model tag of which name is a superordinate concept covering the name of the substance tag detected from the structured document file, as a model tag which is in the predetermined relation with the substance tag, with reference to a conceptual data table in which a combination of words which are in a relation between the superordinate concept and the subordinate concept is defined.

9. A document processing method comprising:

changing a name of a substance tag which is a tag in a child document file inheriting a model tag included in a parent document file, in accordance with a user'"'"'s input direction, wherein the child document file is created by a schema inheriting a schema in a parent document file in which a plurality of tags are structured; and
