Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented data processing method comprising the steps of: reading multiple types of meta-data from data files belonging to a first directory, each of the data files having both content data and meta-data formed by text data to indicate characteristics of the content data; extracting common text data forming common meta-data from the multiple types of meta-data included in the data files read in said reading step; first generating step for generating a second directory for the data files using the extracted common metadata; second generating step for generating directory meta-data for the second directory by using the common text data extracted in said extracting step; registering the directory meta-data generated in said second generating step to the second directory; and third generating step for generating a third directory for data files to which are attached meta-data which does not include the common text data used in the directory meta-data.
