Method, system, and computer program product for managing data associated with a document stored in an electronic formMethod, system, and computer program product for managing data associated with a document stored in an electronic form description/claimsThe Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20090138434, Method, system, and computer program product for managing data associated with a document stored in an electronic form. Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims This application claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/975,033 filed Oct. 28, 2004 entitled METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR MANAGING DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A DOCUMENT STORED IN ELECTRONIC FORM which claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/514,601, filed Oct. 28, 2003, which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to computer databases. 2. Related Art Advancements in digital image processing methods have enabled these technologies to become valuable tools for a host of applications. These include, but are not limited to, documenting work products in such fields as biochemistry, cell biology, pathology, genetics, forensics, geology, metallurgy, inspections of electron devices, quality control applications, material failure analysis, and the like. Digital image processing methods enable pictorial data to be manipulated in ways that enhance the means by which humans can interpret this data. Digital image processing methods typically use computer-processed algorithms or user-operated computer graphics tools. With digital image processing, a picture is not only “worth a thousand words,” but also a source of a substantial amount of data about the subject(s) and the background in the digital image. In general, what is needed is a computer database management system for managing data associated with documents stored in an electronic form. Preferably, such a computer database management system would also be configured to support performing queries or data mining of relevant data at a high rate. The present invention comprises a method, system, and computer program product for managing data associated with a document stored in an electronic form. The document can be a part of a file. The present invention can use computer processed algorithms, user-operated computer graphics tools, or both to have data derived from or assigned to the document or the file. The data can be, but is not necessarily, metadata. Computer processed algorithms and user-operated computer graphics tools can be thought of as representing opposite ends of a spectrum of methods by which data can be derived from or assigned to a document or a file. At one end of the spectrum, the derivation or assignment of data is performed automatically. At the other end of the spectrum, a user manually derives or assigns data. In the present invention, first data is derived from the document, second data is assigned to the document, or both. The first data, the second data, or both are organized as attributes of an object of a first computer database. At least one attribute is organized as a child object of the object. The at least one attribute is associated with a feature of the document. Optionally, an attribute is moved from the object of the first computer database to an object of a second computer database and an address of a location in a memory at which the object of the second computer database is stored is added as a new attribute of the object of the first computer database. Further embodiments, features, and advantages of the present invention, as well as the structure and operation of the various embodiments of the present invention, are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Each feature or advantage is not necessarily required for all embodiments of the present invention. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated herein and form part of the specification, illustrate the present invention and, together with the description, further serve to explain the principles of the invention and to enable a person skilled in the pertinent art to make and use the invention.
