## Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire structured information created by a first user and structured information created by a second user, the structured information including structured contents and in accordance with the acquired structured information, suggest a content as a linking destination of a new content when the new content is incorporated in the structured information created by the first user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising
a processor configured to
acquire structured information created by a first user and structured information created by a second user, the structured information including structured contents, and
in accordance with the acquired structured information, suggest a content as a linking destination of a new content when the new content is incorporated in the structured information created by the first user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to suggest the content as the linking destination of the new content in accordance with a content linked with the new content in the structured information created by the second user.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to suggest the content as the linking destination of the new content in accordance with a score that is calculated on a per content basis using details of the structured information created by the second user.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the processor is configured to calculate the score of the content as the linking destination such that the score is higher as a number of users linked in the structured information created by the second user is larger.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to suggest the content as the linking destination of the new content in accordance with an amount of evaluation that is performed on linking between contents related to the new content in the structured information created by the second user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to suggest the content as the linking destination of the new content in accordance with results of analyzing details of the new content.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to present the structured information created by the first user in a manner that discriminates the structured information created by the first user from the structured information created by the second user.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to present, if a content unlinked with the contents is present in the structured information, the unlinked content in a manner that discriminates the unlinked content from the other contents.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the processor is configured to output, if a quantity of contents unlinked with any of the contents in the structured information is a specific value or more, a notification to urge linking of the unlinked contents.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to present a relationship of the contents by a line indicating a linking of the contents in the structured information.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the processor is configured to present the structured information in a manner that discriminates a status in which contents are linked from a status in which the linking of the contents is put on hold.

### Claim 12

An information processing apparatus comprising
processor means for acquiring structured information created by a first user and structured information created by a second user, the structured information including structured contents and for suggesting a content as a linking destination of a new content when the new content is incorporated in the structured information created by the first user in accordance with the acquired structured information.

### Claim 13

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:
acquiring structured information created by a first user and structured information created by a second user, the structured information including structured contents; and
in accordance with the acquired structured information, suggesting a content as a linking destination of a new content when the new content is incorporated in the structured information created by the first user.
