Data, Structure, Structured Data Management System, Structured Data Management Method and Structured Data Management Program

A structured data management system including a server having hierarchically structured data and a client connecting to the server through a network and updating the structured data on said server, wherein

• said structured data are hierarchized into at least data management information and data information,
• said data information includes a plurality of data body information pieces each of which is attached with a unique identifier,
• said client has means for making a request to update a data body information piece based on the unique identifier,
• said server has means for, in response to the request, sending a text within the data body information piece and predefined tags attached to the text, and
• said client has:
• means for receiving the text with the predefined tags sent from said server (hereinafter referred to as “sent-tagged text”), displaying the text, and accepting updates;
• and
• means for, when the text is updated, sending data of the text attached with the predefined tags (hereinafter referred to as “received-tagged text”).

A structured data management method in a system where a server having structured data and a client updating the structured data on the server are interconnected through a network, comprising:

• hierarchizing the structured data into at least data management information and data information;
• dividing the data information into a plurality of data body information pieces and assigning each of the data body information pieces with a unique identifier;
• allowing said client to make a request to update a data body information piece based on the unique identifier,
• allowing said server, upon receiving the request, to send a text within the data body information piece with predefined tags attached to the text;
• allowing said client to receive the text attached with the predefined tags sent from the server (hereinafter referred to as “sent-tagged text”), display the text within the sent-tagged text on a display device and accept updates, and when the text is updated, to send data of the text updated with the predefined tags to the server (hereinafter referred to as “received-tagged text”);
• and
• allowing said server to update said data body information piece by the received-tagged text.

A structured data management program allowing a server for managing hierarchical structured data to function as:

• means for hierarchizing said structured data stored on the server into at least data management information and data information;
• means for assigning unique identifiers to data body information pieces composing said data information;
• means for accepting a request from a client interconnected through a network to update one of the data body information piece based on a corresponding unique identifier;
• and
• means for attaching predefined tags to the text within the data body information and sending the text to the client in response to the request.

The structured data management program allowing a client interconnected with a server through a network to function as:

• means for receiving a text attached with predefined tags and sent from the server (hereinafter referred to as “sent-tagged text”);
• means for receiving the sent-tagged text, displaying the text within the sent-tagged text and accepting updates;
• and
• means for sending the text updated and attached with the predefined tags to the server (hereinafter referred to as “received-tagged text”).
