Abstract:

PURPOSE: To convert a data structure from a first source format to a second object format by providing plural specific conversion elements.

CONSTITUTION: An ODIF(office document conversion format) document is stored in an ODIF character device 10. This device is connected to an ODA(office document architecture) tool kit device 10 which extracts various elements of this document from the device 10. Three DAP(document application profile) highlands 12-1 to 12-3 are connected to a tool kit 11. The tool kit 11 checks the document to determine which DAP the operation should be performed in accordance with, and a proper DAP handler is selected. DAP handlers are connected to three contents architecture hadlers 13-1 to 13-3. These hadlers 13-1 to 13-3 convert raster graphs, geographical graphs, and texts respectively. Conversion results are sent to a principal element 14 connected to a kernel 15 of a CDA converter.
