Abstract: In an information processing apparatus for generating an operation permission specifying an application subject for a permission determination of an operation based on a subject of the operation, a resource to be a subject for the operation, and a type of the operation, an operation permission managing part manages the operation permission, and an operation permission generating part generates the operation permission for each combination of one or more categories of the subject, one or more categories of the resource, and one or more types of the operation, which are indicated as the application subject of the operation permission in a generation request, in response to the generation request of the operation permission, and a duplication detecting part detects a duplication of the application subject with an existing operation permission registered in the operation permission data managing part, with respect to the operation permission for each combination.

Abstract: In an information providing device and method, a plurality of information providers, including first and second information providers, are made to be associated with each other. The first information provider is caused to receive a first user information item, stored in a first information management unit, in response to a user information receiving request. The second information provider is caused to receive a second user information item, correlated with the first user information item and stored in a second information management unit, in response to a predetermined identification data. A unified information item is created by combining the first user information item and the second user information item based on the predetermined identification data is outputted.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an extracting unit to extract watermark data from image data of an image; a generating unit to generate a watermark image based on the watermark data; and a superimposing unit to superimpose the watermark image on the image.

Abstract: A document management method uses a plurality of document schemas to manage a document retrieval request, the document schemas defining a structure of document contents, each document schema including a plurality of attributes. In the document management method, a schema identifier is assigned to each of the plurality of document schemas by generating a global unique identifier value every time a schema name of a new document schema is input. An attribute identifier is assigned to each of the plurality of attributes of one of the plurality of document schemas by generating another global unique identifier value.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a judging part to judge a modifiability of a value of an attribute of a resource that is an access target based on definition information. The definition information defines a rule related to the modifiability of the value of the attribute is to be permitted depending on a combination of a value prior to the modification and a value after the modification, for the value of the attribute of the resource that is the access target.
