Next, provided metadata corresponding to the electronic copy of the article does not exist, the present embodiment creates metadata corresponding to the electronic copy of the article. Provided that the electronic copy of the article can not be located within the electronic document system, the present invention deletes any metadata corresponding to the electronic copy of the article.
