Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a document information acquisition section that acquires document information with which a document type of a document is associated, a document type information acquisition section that acquires document type information, in which a reference range of a document referenced in a case of creating index data is set, for each document type of a document, and a creation section that creates the index data of the document with reference to a range of the document corresponding to the reference range set in the document type information associated with the document type of the document.

Claims (36)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor, configured to:

acquire document information with which a document type of a document is associated;

acquire document type information, in which a reference range of a document referenced in a case of creating index data is set, for each document type of a document, wherein a different document type corresponds to a different reference range that represents a different part of contents of a document, wherein in response to the document type of the document being in a first type, the reference range of the document corresponds to a first reference range that represents a first part of the contents of the document, wherein in response to the document type of the document being in a second type, the reference range of the document corresponds to a second reference range that represents a second part of the contents of the document, and wherein the first type is different from the second type, the first reference range is different from the second reference range;

create the index data of the document by extracting at least one term from a range of the document corresponding to the reference range set in the document type information associated with the document type of the document; and

associate the index data with the document for document retrieval.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where a state of the document is transitioned, the state of the document is further associated with the document included in the document information,

wherein the document type information is set for each document type of the document and for each state of the document, and

wherein the processor creates the index data of the document with reference to the range of the document corresponding to the reference range set in the document type information associated with the document type and the state of the document.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein in a case where a change in the state of the document is detected, the processor re-creates the index data of the document by extracting at least one another term from the range of the document corresponding to the reference range set in the document type information associated with the document type of the document and a changed state of the document.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the reference range is set by selecting one or a plurality of items constituting the document.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the reference range is set by selecting one or a plurality of items constituting the document.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein a priority in a case of referencing at the time of creating the index data is set for each item set in the reference range, and

wherein the processor determines an order of items referenced at the time of creating the index data according to the priority set for each item included in the reference range.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein a priority in a case of referencing at the time of creating the index data is set for each item set in the reference range, and

wherein the processor determines order of items referenced at the time of creating the index data according to the priority set for each item included in the reference range.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where a state of the document is transitioned, the processor sets a maximum capacity of the index data of the document according to the state of the document.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the document type information is generated for each document type of the document and for each state of the document,

wherein a weighting coefficient of a capacity of the index data is set n each document type information, and

wherein the processor creates the index data of the document so as to be within the maximum capacity obtained by multiplying a predetermined reference capacity of the index data by the weighting coefficient set in the document type information associated with the document type and the state of the document.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the document has a life cycle, from when the document is created until the document is not used, comprising a plurality of states, a different document type has a different life cycle,

wherein in a case where a change in the state of the document is detected, the processor re-creates the index data of the document by extracting at least one another term from the range of the document corresponding to the reference range set in the document type information associated with the document type of the document and a changed state of the document.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer:

acquire document information with which a document type of a document is associated;

acquire document type information, in which a reference range of a document referenced in a case of creating index data is set, for each document type of a document, wherein a different document type corresponds to a different reference range that represents a different part of contents of a document, wherein in response to the document type of the document being in a first type, the reference range of the document corresponds to a first reference range that represents a first part of the contents of the document, wherein in response to the document type of the document being in a second type, the reference range of the document corresponds to a second reference range that represents a second part of the contents of the document, and wherein the first type is different from the second type, the first reference range is different from the second reference range;

create the index data of the document by extracting at least one term from a range of the document corresponding to the reference range set in the document type information associated with the document type of the document; and

associate the index data with the document for document retrieval.
