Abstract: A technique is provided for properly processing a document structured in a markup language. Upon acquisition of a document described in a first vocabulary, a document processing apparatus creates a source DOM tree. Then, the document processing apparatus maps the document to another document described in a second vocabulary using a first definition file associated with the former document, thereby creating a destination DOM tree 1. Furthermore, the document processing apparatus maps the document thus mapped to yet another document described in a third vocabulary using a second definition file, thereby creating a destination DOM tree 2. Using a processing system in charge of the third vocabulary, the document processing apparatus displays the document thus mapped to the third vocabulary.

Abstract: A document processing apparatus that allows a structured document to be appropriately processed is provided. A document processing apparatus 100 provides display/editing systems such as an HTML unit 150 for displaying/editing an HTML document, an SVG unit 160 for displaying/editing an SVG document, etc., in increments of vocabularies using plug-ins. In a case of processing a document described in a vocabulary that is not supported by any one of the installed plug-ins, in such a configuration, a VC unit 180 performs mapping of the document to a vocabulary that enables the document to be displayed, e.g., HTML or SVG. This allows the document to be displayed and edited using the HTML unit 150 or the SVG unit 160. The document processing apparatus 100 displays a processing target document in multiple different display formats on a single screen at the same time, and allows the user to edit the document.

Abstract: A technique is provided for properly handling the modification of a definition file. Let us consider a case in which a user modifies a definition file using a definition file editing function provided by a definition file creating unit 86. In this case, the definition file creating unit 86 inquires of the user whether or not a logic is to be inserted, which allows an XML document created using an old version of a definition file to be translated into a format that is compatible with a new version of a definition file. In a case of reception of an instruction from the user to insert such a logic, the translation logic described in XSLT is inserted into the definition file. In a case that an XML document created using the old version of the definition file is opened using the definition file including the translation logic, the translation logic is executed, thereby automatically translating the XML document to an XML document that is compatible with the new version of the definition file.
