Abstract
The present invention relates to document processing method and apparatus which can edit a natural language and generate a machine-processable document; a template generating method and apparatus which can be used for document processing method and apparatus; a concept library generating method and apparatus which can be used for the document processing method and apparatus and the template generating method and apparatus. The present invention provided a possibility for semantic interaction of documents in different systems and enhances efficiency.
Claims20
An electronic document processing method, comprising steps of:
- acquiring an electronic template comprising a set of semantic items, wherein (i) candidate values of the set of semantic items and relations among a plurality of semantic items in the set of semantic items are associated with one or more electronic semantic codes, and (ii) the electronic template is associated with a natural language expression mode;
- receiving an electronic input value for at least one semantic item in the set of semantic items, wherein the electronic input value comprises one or more constituent values;
- generating a first electronic document comprising (i) a first set of electronic semantic codes corresponding to the electronic input value, (ii) the relations among the plurality of semantic items, and (iii) a second set of electronic semantic codes corresponding to the relations among the plurality of semantic items;
- and
- generating, based on the electronic input value and based on the natural language electronic expression mode, a second electronic document comprising the electronic input value.
A document processing device, comprising:
- means configured to acquire a template comprising a set of semantic items, wherein (i) candidate values of the set of semantic items and relations among a plurality of semantic items in the set of semantic items are associated with one or more semantic codes, and (ii) the template is associated with a natural language expression mode;
- semantic item input means configured to receive an input value for at least one semantic item in the set of semantic items, wherein the input value comprises one or more constituent values;
- machine-processable document generating means configured to generate a first document comprising (i) a first set of semantic codes corresponding to the input value, (ii) the relations among the plurality of semantic items, and (iii) a second set of semantic codes corresponding to the relations among the plurality of semantic items;
- and
- natural language document generating means configured to generate, based on the input value and based on the natural language expression mode, a second document comprising the input value.
A non-transitory computer readable article of manufacture tangibly embodying computer readable instructions which when executed causes a computer to carry out a document processing method, comprising steps of:
- acquiring an electronic template comprising a set of semantic items, wherein (i) candidate values of the set of semantic items and relations among a plurality of semantic items in the set of semantic items are associated with one or more electronic semantic codes, and (ii) the electronic template is associated with a natural language expression mode;
- receiving an electronic input value for at least one semantic item in the set of semantic items, wherein the electronic input value comprises one or more constituent values;
- generating a first electronic document comprising (i) a first set of electronic semantic codes corresponding to the electronic input value, (ii) the relations among the plurality of semantic items, and (iii) a second set of electronic semantic codes corresponding to the relations among the plurality of semantic items;
- and
- generating, based on the electronic input value and based on the natural language electronic expression mode, a second electronic document comprising the electronic input value.
