  In recent years, with the development of communication technologies such as the Internet and computers, data called resources (hereinafter referred to as “resource data”) to be provided to other computers is held in a server device, and as a response to a request message command from a client Communication systems that return the resource data, browse homepages, and provide predetermined data have become widespread.

  In such a communication system, the structure of resource data is made common within the communication system, and an environment in which resource data can be processed also in a terminal device typified by a server device or a personal computer constituting the system can be created. It is possible.

  Conventionally, markup languages such as HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) that construct element data (elements) such as documents or images as resource data using identifiers called tags are known. Web pages written in markup language can be published on the Internet as resource data that can be browsed on other terminal devices using the WWW (World Wide Web) system and provided to viewers who wish to browse Generally popular.

  In particular, recently, when resource data such as a web page is provided and browsed, data indicating that the web page has been browsed is incorporated into the resource data together with data specifying the third party who browsed, Or communication called “blog” that reconstructs the resource data to be browsed by incorporating the document created and provided by the viewer in a predetermined area of the Web page called “write” as element data in the resource data Technology is known.

  Moreover, the communication system using this blog indicates an address where resource data constituting the Web page, called URL (Uniform Resource Locator), is stored when the viewer browses the Web page of the information provider. The data is incorporated into resource data such as a web page provided by the viewer, or a document indicating an outline of the information provided by the information provider as browsing data is incorporated into the resource data provided by the viewer as element data.
