Abstract

A storage medium readable by a computer stores a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function for supporting editing of a hierarchical structure of a directory. The function includes: editing metadata including information relevant to the hierarchical structure of the directory; editing content data as contents of a document; analyzing the metadata; and creating a new hierarchical structure of the directory on the basis of a result of the analysis and the content data.

Claims

1. A storage medium readable by a computer, the storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function for supporting editing of a hierarchical structure of a directory, the function comprising:

editing metadata including information relevant to the hierarchical structure of the directory;

editing content data as contents of a document;

analyzing the metadata; and

creating a new hierarchical structure of the directory on the basis of a result of the analysis and the content data.

2. The storage medium storing a program according to claim 1, wherein the information relevant to the hierarchical structure of the directory includes a heading to be embedded in a reference source and address information of a reference destination.

3. The storage medium storing a program according to claim 1, wherein the hierarchical structure of the directory is a hyperlink structure between documents.

4. A directory editing support method for supporting editing of a hierarchical structure of a directorybya computer, comprising:

editing metadata including information relevant to the hierarchical structure of the directory;

editing content data as contents of a document;

analyzing the metadata; and

creating a new hierarchical structure of the directory on the basis of a result of the analysis and the content data.

5. The directory editing support method according to claim 4, wherein the information relevant to the hierarchical structure of the directory includes a heading to be embedded in a reference source and address information of a reference destination.

6. The directory editing support method according to claim 4, wherein the hierarchical structure of the directory is a hyperlink structure between documents.

7. A directoryediting support apparatus for supporting editing of ahierarchical structure of adirectory, comprising:

a metadata editing unit that edits metadata including information relevant to the hierarchical structure of the directory;

a content data editing unit that edits content data as contents of a document;

a metadata analysis unit that analyzes the metadata edited by the metadata editing unit; and

a directory editing unit that creates a new hierarchical structure of the directory on the basis of an analysis result of the metadata editing unit and the content data.

8. The directory editing support apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the information relevant to the hierarchical structure of the directory includes a heading to be embedded in a reference source and address information of a reference destination.

9. The directory editing support apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the hierarchical structure of the directory is a hyperlink structure between documents.
