  • Apparatus and method for searching structured documents
    Patent number: 7523104
    Abstract: A synonym search section searches a synonym dictionary for synonym group identifiers indicating synonym groups to which tags included in first structure-designating information from a terminal belong. Based on a search result, a structure-designating-information generation section generates second structure-designating information in which the tags included in the first structure-designating information are replaced with the respective synonym group identifiers indicating the synonym groups. A synonym-structure-template search section searches a synonym-structure-template management block for a synonym structure template that matches the second structure-designating information. An acquisition section acquires, from a database, a document structure in a structured document indicated by a structure template corresponding to the detected synonym structure template.
