Abstract: An object linkage system including: a database that stores objects and a linkage map; a unit for extracting an already-registered object to be linked with a new object from already-registered objects and copying a first linkage attribute value of the already-registered object to the new object as a second linkage attribute value of the new object; a unit for registering the new object into the linkage map by associating the new object with an identification value which identifies an object set which contains objects having the second linkage attribute value in common; and a unit for receiving a linkage request from a user terminal, obtaining an object set from the linkage map, and launching creation systems for operating element objects of the object set so as to enable the user terminal to browse the element objects.

Abstract: An object linkage system is provided. The object linkage system includes: a database storing objects, each object including linkage attributes, and storing a linkage map designating a set of objects to be linked; a unit configured to search for a linkage candidate of a new object by comparing a value in the new object with a linkage attribute value of already-registered objects, and copy a linkage attribute value of already-registered object to be linked with the new object to the new object as an linkage attribute; a unit configured to register an object set which are objects having a common linkage attribute value with an identification value; and a unit configured to obtain object set from the linkage map, assign element objects of the object set to display areas, and launch creation systems for operating element objects so as to enable the user terminal to browse element objects.

Abstract: A document creation support system provides information regarding occurrence frequency of a user phrase and a related phrase for selected one or more of a plurality of document collections.

Abstract: A display controller reads an object, which is an intended zoom object, and changes its display form, generating a revised contents organization and displaying the revised contents organization on a display unit, based on an operation content of a user retrieved by an operation retrieving unit, an organization description pertaining to a display aspect of the contents, and a zoom description that describes the zoom action/behavior of each zoom object. Consequently, editing the contents becomes much easier. Further, the user is ensured a fair degree of freedom for viewing the contents.

Abstract: A system for browsing a document includes an object storing unit that stores an object forming the document and to be zoomed on a display; a display-description storing unit that stores a description indicative of a display condition on which the document is to be displayed; an operation acquiring unit that acquires information on an operation performed on the document by a viewer; and a display control unit that reads out an object from the object storing unit to display the object based on the information on the operation and the description, as the document.
