Abstract: A document management system generates a hierarchical category tree itemizing documents within a database from associated attributes of the documents. The document management system further provides access privileges to the documents itemized in the hierarchical category tree by associating access privileges to the attributes of the documents with itemized by the hierarchical category tree.

Abstract: A computer implemented file conversion method for converting an index file. The index file includes file paths, and each file path corresponds to an actual file. The method first reads the file paths from the index file. If the actual files corresponding to the file paths are files of a first format, the method converts the actual files to files of a second format. Finally, the method designates the file paths of the index file to the converted files.
