Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide a method and device for using network and computer resources effectively. Resources are spread out on network 3. Spread abroad herein are: structuralized documents d1, d2 on server 1a; structuralized documents d3, d4 on server 1b; and structuralized document d5 on server 1c. Server 1a, for example: 1) accepts a reference request for structuralized document d1 from client 2a; 2) acquires fragments f2, f3, f4, f5 for referee structuralized document d1 from server 1a itself and from other servers 1b,c; 3) embeds fragments f2-f5 in structuralized document d1; and 4) transmits embedding-processed structuralized document d1 to requester client 2a. A “fragment” here is all or a portion of a structuralized document.
