Abstract:
1. A computer implemented structured document managing method for managing a structured document described by use of a document markup language, comprising: an entity reference information adding step in which when a document is registered, syntax analysis is made on the content of the document to extract all of entity reference information included in said document, an entity reference node is inserted into a tree structure of an analyzed document logical structure by using the extracted entity reference information, said entity reference node referring to a file including contents of a group of lower position nodes as a text of said document markup language; a data content updating step in which an arbitrary entity reference node is selected from the tree structure of the document logical structure, a file indicated by said entity reference node is selected as an object of updating, and a content text of the selected file made object of updating is updated; a partial logical structure generating step in which syntax analysis is made on the content text of the updated file, and a partial logical structure corresponding to said content text is generated; and a document logical structure updating step in which all of the entity reference nodes referring to said file made object of updating are detected among the entity reference nodes included in the tree structure of said document logical structure, and the group of nodes in lower position of the detected entity reference nodes is replaced by said partial logical structure generated in said partial logical structure generating step.
