The present invention provides an information processing system for more appropriately classifying elements that constitute an information processing device or the like. This information processing system is provided with: a means that, on the basis of information indicating the relationship between a plurality of elements that constitute a system, acquires, for first elements to be classified, a set of second elements capable of arriving at the first elements via a relationship of arbitrary numbers; and a means that, on the basis of the set corresponding to the first elements, classifies each of the first elements in any of a plurality of roles.
