A data management unit 101, 13 of a configuration information management apparatus, such as a federated consolidated management database FCMDB, stores therein configuration items CI including attribute items described according to different schemas a-XML, b-XML. A dictionary candidate retrieval unit 102, 31 specifies a combination of a pair of attribute items 23B, 23C which defines a correspondence relation between attribute names corresponding to the same attribute value in the attribute items which are described according to the schemas. A dictionary generation unit 103, 32 generates dictionary information defining relationships, or synonymity, between the attribute names of the different attribute items described according to the different schemas based on the dictionary candidate retrieved by the dictionary candidate retrieval unit. A dictionary management unit stores therein the dictionary information generated by the dictionary generation unit. The system may also record the operational history of configuration items. |
