Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING DATA GROUP INTO STRUCTURED FORMAT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009043258
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To easily convert a data aggregation such as a wiki web page into a structured, printable and navigatable document.

An analyzer is coupled to receive a data collection source such as the web page related to a wiki and other user parameter, and to generate an expression of a content related to the data collection source. An output of the analyzer is coupled to an input of a layout unit, to impart the expression of the content. The layout unit is coupled to receive a style sheet or a preference of a user. A linearizer of the layout unit takes out a necessary content, using an expression object of the content. A format of the taken-out content is regulated thereafter by a layout selector of the layout unit, to generate a page-arranged document and a meta-data. Outputs thereof are used in printing, display or an application.
