Abstract

A data management system, the system including: (i) an input interface for acquiring a source document; and (ii) a processor configured to: (a) divide the source document into multiple objects in response to content of the source document; (b) analyze the multiple objects to generate multiple low level sub-trees, wherein each of the low level sub-trees includes at least one of the multiple objects; (c) generate multiple mid level sub-trees, wherein each of the mid level sub-trees includes link to at least one of the low level sub-trees; (d) generate a top level sub-tree that includes multiple section links, wherein each of the section links to one of the mid level sub-trees; (e) create metadata descriptive of at least one of the sub-trees generated, wherein the metadata includes data which is not included in the source document; and (f) generate a structured document that includes the top level sub-tree, at least some of the mid level sub-trees and at least some of the low level sub-trees, and the metadata.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A method for improving data accessibility, the method comprising:

dividing a source document into multiple objects, in response to content of the source document;
the multiple objects comprise sections and fragments, each section comprises a plurality of fragments;
analyzing the multiple objects to generate multiple low level sub-trees, wherein each of the low level sub-trees is associated with a fragment and comprises the fragment;
generating multiple mid-level sub-trees, wherein each of the mid-level sub-trees is associated with a unique section of the source document and comprises a link to each one of the low level sub-tree that are associated with the plurality of the fragments of the unique section;
generating a top level sub-tree that comprises multiple section links, wherein each of the section links links to one of the mid-level sub-trees;
creating metadata descriptive of at least one of the sub-trees generated, wherein the metadata comprises data which is not comprised in the source document;
and
generating a structured document that comprises the top level sub-tree, at least some of the mid- level sub-trees and at least some of the low level sub-trees, and the metadata;
wherein the generating comprises writing the structured document to a tangible memory;
wherein the method further comprises:
retrieving one of the objects, wherein the retrieving includes acquiring from the to level sub-tree a link to a mid-level sub-tree, acquiring from the mid-level sub-tree a link to a low level sub-tree and retrieving the object from the low level sub-tree;
and
creating an event handler for a sub-tree wherein the event handler is included in the sub-tree;
wherein the creating comprises carrying out an action which is indicated in the event handles, if an event that is indicated in the event handler occurred.

(c) generate multiple mid- level sub-trees, wherein each of the mid- level sub-trees comprises link to at least one of the low level sub-trees;
(d) generate a top level sub-tree that comprises multiple section links, wherein each of the section links links to one of the mid-level sub-trees;
(e) create metadata descriptive of at least one of the sub-trees generated, wherein the metadata comprises data which is not comprised in the source document;
and
(f) generate a structured document that comprises the top level sub-tree, at least some of the mid-level sub-trees and at least some of the low level sub-trees, and the metadata;
wherein a generation of the structured document comprises writing the structured document to a tangible memory;
wherein the processor is further adapted to:
retrieve one of the objects, wherein a retrieval of one of the object comprises acquiring from the to level sub-tree a link to a mid-level sub-tree, acquiring from the mid-level sub-tree a link to a low level sub-tree and retrieving the object from the low level sub-tree;
and
create an event handler for a sub-tree wherein the event handler is included in the sub-tree;
wherein the system comprises an event manager, configured to carry out an action which is indicated in an event handler that is stored in one of the generated sub-trees, if an event that is indicated in the event handler occurred.
