主权项 1. An intermediary apparatus configured to be connectable to an image processing apparatus and to a service configured to store electronic data which has been uploaded, via networks, the intermediary apparatus comprising: a communication interface configured to be connectable to the image processing apparatus via a first network, and connectable to the service via a second network; and a controller configured to: acquire tagging request information, which is transmitted from the image processing apparatus, for requesting to associate tag data with electronic data which has been uploaded to the service from the image processing apparatus;acquire upload notification information, which is transmitted from the image processing apparatus, indicating that the electronic data has been uploaded from the image processing apparatus to the service;output tagging instruction information for requesting to associate the tag data with the electronic data which has been uploaded from the image processing apparatus and stored in the service in response to acquiring the tagging request information and the upload notification information; andcontrol the communication interface to transmit the tagging instruction information to the service, wherein the service is included in a plurality of services to which the intermediary apparatus is connectable, wherein the controller is configured to further acquire service identification information, which is transmitted from the image processing apparatus, for identifying the service which has been selected in the image processing apparatus from among the services, wherein the intermediary apparatus further includes a storage section configured to store first processing execution information which is necessary for transmitting the tagging instruction information to each of the services and second processing execution information which is necessary for transmitting upload-information request information for requesting upload information to each of the services, wherein the upload-information request information has a specification unique to each of the services, wherein the controller is configured to: acquire the second processing execution information from the storage section, in response to acquiring the service identification information;output the upload-information request information corresponding to the service which has been selected in the image processing apparatus based on the second processing execution information which has been acquired;control the communication interface to transmit the upload-information request information to the service which has been selected in the image processing apparatus;acquire the upload information which has been transmitted from the service; andmake the image processing apparatus execute upload based on the upload information which has been acquired, by controlling the communication interface to transmit the upload information which has been acquired to the image processing apparatus, wherein the tagging instruction information has a specification unique to each of the services, and wherein the controller is configured to: acquire the first processing execution information corresponding to the service which has been selected in the image processing apparatus from the storage section, in response to acquiring the service identification information, transmitting the upload information, and acquiring the tagging request information and the upload notification information;output the tagging instruction information based on the first processing execution information which has been acquired; and control the communication interface to transmit the tagging instruction information to the service identified by the service identification information.
