Abstract:
1. A document processing device that performs predetermined processing on a document including text created in a language, in which a space character is provided as word separation, and manages a processing result, the device comprising: a registration database that registers the processing result; a document database that stores source document information acquired by reading a source document including a word forming the text and information about presence or absence of a space character; a metadata extraction processing unit that performs processing of extracting metadata from the text in disregard of the space character; a word separation decision processing unit that decides whether two adjacent characters included in the text are included in a same word, based on a writing rule between a character or a word and a symbol in the text; a display processing unit that displays a processing result in the word separation decision processing unit on a displaying device; and a registration processing unit that registers a processing result in the word separation decision processing unit, in the registration database in response to an input instruction, wherein the word separation decision processing unit reinserts the space character in the extracted metadata using the decision result as to whether the two adjacent characters are included in a same word, and the registration processing unit registers the metadata in which the space character is reinserted, in the registration database as a processing result in the word separation decision processing unit.
