ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a document structure composing apparatus to judge a short part based upon the structure of the whole document, perform processing for complementation and compose document structure according to a desired document class. Complementation specification storage means stores the specification of complementation for document structure. Complementation means applies processing for complementation to pre-complemented document structure. Correlating rule storage means stores a rule for correlating components between different document classes. Document structure converting means converts an original document which meets the structural constraint of a specific document class to structure according to another document class according to the correlating rule. The original document is first converted from structure according to the specific document class to structure nearly according to a desired document class by the document structure converting means. The correlating rule required for conversion is stored in the correlating rule storage means. Afterward, processing for complementation based upon the specification of complementation stored in the complementation specification storage means is executed by the complementation means and document structure according to a desired document class is composed.
