Since contracted info is a subset of expanded doc, and if the processing of contracted info from expanded info is order of constant then just maintain a single structure "struct expdocinfo { ... };" and a single Hash Table for it. 

Else
Keep a structure docInfo and keep both condocinfo{} and expdocinfo{} inside it and maintain a single Hash table with the value as a pointer to the docInfo object;

struct docInfo
{
   struct expdocinfo{} expDocInfoObj;
   struct condocinfo{} conDocInfoObj;
};
