    Abstract: A sensor management unit transmits first sensing data obtained by a first sensor monitoring a target to an external device external to the sensor management unit. The sensor management unit includes a processor, and a memory storing a program. The memory stores obtaining condition information that defines obtaining conditions for obtaining a plurality of candidate items of metadata to be associated with the first sensing data. The program causes the processor to implement obtaining at least one of the candidate items of metadata in accordance with the obtaining conditions and transmitting, to the external device, the obtained first sensing data and the obtained metadata in a manner associated with each other.

    Abstract: First and second data catalogs each indicate sensing data attributes. The first and second data catalogs each include a first word indicating an observation object of a sensor that generated sensing data and a second word indicating an observation characteristic of the sensor. A score calculation unit includes a first weight determination part, a second weight determination part, and a score calculation part. The first weight determination part determines a first weight value relating to the observation object, based on the relationship between the first words included in the first and second data catalogs. The second weight determination part determines a second weight value relating to the observation characteristic, based on the relationship between the second words included in the first and second data catalogs . The score calculation part calculates a score relating to the coincidence of the first and second data catalogs, using the first and second weight values.

    Abstract: A sensing device management apparatus easily and appropriately generates a data catalog corresponding to sensor metadata. A device information obtaining unit obtains, based on data obtained by a sensing device for performing sensing on a measurement target, an address for obtaining device information about the sensing device, and obtains the device information by accessing the address. A data catalog generation unit generates a data catalog using the device information about the sensing device obtained by the device information obtaining unit.
