Abstract
A document management system manages a plurality of registered documents in a database, each document having a number of sections. The document management system includes a document association object which links a reference-source document to a referenced-material document in the database. A management unit generates property data of the document association object, the property data including a first identifier indicating a section of the reference-source document and a second identifier indicating a section of the referenced-material document, wherein the property data is provided to recognize a particular relation that links the reference-source document section to the referenced-material document section.
Claims8
An document management system for managing a plurality of registered documents in a database, each document having a number of sections, the system comprising:
- a document association object linking a reference-source document to a referenced-material document in the database;
- and
- a management unit generating property data of the document association object, the property data including a first identifier indicating a section of the reference-source document and a second identifier indicating a section of the referenced-material document, wherein the property data of the document association object is provided to recognize a particular relation that links the reference-source document section to the referenced-material document section.
A document management method for managing a plurality of registered documents in a database, each document having a number of sections, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a document association object linking a reference-source document to a referenced-material document in the database;
- and
- generating property data of the document association object, the property data including a first identifier indicating a section of the reference-source document, a second identifier indicating a section of the referenced-material document, a third identifier indicating a version of the reference-source document and a fourth identifier indicating a version of the referenced-material document,
- wherein the property data of the document association object is provided to recognize a particular relation that links the reference-source document version and section to the referenced-material document version and section.
A computer-readable storage medium storing program code causing a processor to perform a document management method for managing a plurality of registered documents in a database, each document having a number of sections, the method comprising:
- providing a document association object linking a reference-source document to a referenced-material document in the database;
- and
- generating property data of the document association object, the property data including a first identifier indicating a section of the reference-source document and a second identifier indicating a section of the referenced-material document,
- wherein the property data of the document association object is provided to recognize a particular relation that links the reference-source document section to the referenced-material document section.
