Abstract
The method applies to a structured document presenting a hierarchical structure defined by a structure schema, the document combining a main structured set of information including information subsets at least some of the information subsets being structured and being capable of including information subsets of lower hierarchical level, each information subset being associated in the higher level information set with a respective information type. The method includes: dividing the document into structured portions capable of being handled individually, namely a main portion and at least one secondary portion, the main portion containing at least the main set of information, and the secondary portion containing an information subset which is removed from the main set of information, each secondary portion being attached to the main portion or to another secondary portion; and allocating a predefined value to the information type of each information subset that has been removed from an information set of higher hierarchical level.
