  • Publication number: 20130268554
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a structured document management apparatus includes a document storage unit, a section title extracting unit, a relevance calculator, a document search unit, a section title selector, and a section title display controller. The section title extracting unit extracts the section titles from the structured document to create a section title list. The relevance calculator calculates degrees of conceptual relevance between the section title and words included in the section text corresponding to the section title for each of the section texts. The document search unit searches for the section text that includes the word identical to a search keyword. The section title selector selects the section title having a higher degree of relevance with the word identical to the search keyword more preferentially than the section title having a lower degree of relevance with the word identical to the search keyword.
