2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the storage is configured to store optimization information where the data in the resource data respectively corresponding to plural types of resource data is designated to be deleted in accordance with attributes, and

the at least one processor is configured to determine the type of the first resource data, and to determine an attribute to be deleted corresponding to the determined type based on the optimization information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the resource data comprises at least one of a video file, an audio file and a multimedia file, and the optimization information is designated to delete the data having an attribute of meta-data from the resource data.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the optimization information is designated to store resource history information in which some contents of the meta-data to be deleted from the resource data is recorded, and

the at least one processor is configured to add the resource history information to the package program.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the optimization information is designated to convert a first format of the resource data into a preset second format more efficient in reducing the data size than the first format, and

the at least one processor is configured to determine a format of third resource data, to convert the third resource data into fourth resource data having the second format designated in the optimization information, and to record a history of the conversion in the resource history information to return the fourth resource data in response to an operation of making a request for the third resource data when the application is executed on a preset platform.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one processor is configured to delete at least one piece of sixth resource data overlapped with fifth resource data from an entire resource data of the application, and to record a history of the deletion in the resource history information to return the sixth resource data in response to an operation of making a request for the fifth resource data when the application is executed on a preset platform.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with the application execution apparatus, wherein

the at least one processor is configured to store the package program in the storage, and to send the package program to the application execution apparatus through the communicator to be installed in the application execution apparatus in request to a request from the application execution apparatus.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the application comprises a web application to be executed on a web browser program.

9. An image processing apparatus comprising:

receiver circuitry configured to receive a package program for installing an application comprising a main program, and first resource data comprising data corresponding to a plurality of attributes about execution of the main program; and

at least one processor configured to install the application to be executable by decompressing the package program,

the at least one processor configured to create second resource data excluding data corresponding to at least one attribute from the plurality of attributes of the first resource data, said at least one attribute being used less than another attribute of the plurality of attributes when the main program is executed, said second resource data having a smaller data size than the first resource data, and to install the application comprising the main program and the created second resource data.

10. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

acquiring a main program of an application to be installed in an application execution apparatus and first resource data comprising data corresponding to a plurality of attributes about execution of the main program;

creating second resource data excluding data corresponding to at least one attribute from the plurality of attributes of the first resource data, said at least one attribute being used less than another attribute of the plurality of attributes when the main program is executed, said second resource data having a smaller data size than the first resource data; and

producing a package program comprising the main program and the created second resource data for installing the application.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the creating the second resource data comprises determining a type of the first resource data, and determining an attribute to be deleted corresponding to the determined type based on optimization information, and
