Abstract

An information processing apparatus for processing documents of multiple kinds generated by applications of multiple kinds includes a data processing unit configured to process the documents of multiple kinds; a determining unit configured to execute a validity period management program in response to a request to the data processing unit to process one document among the documents of multiple kinds to determine whether the request is within a validity period associated with a content item in the document; and a switching unit configured to switch the content item that is referred to and that is to be processed by the data processing unit between when the determining unit determines that the content is not within the validity period and when the determining unit determines that the content is within the validity period.
