Claim 8:
9. The meaning inference system according to claim 2, wherein the meaning initial value allocation unit allocates to each of a plurality of given tables an initial value for meaning of the table and an initial value for meaning of each column contained in the table, the meaning inference system comprising:
a table selection unit that selects a table whose meaning is to be inferred from the plurality of given tables;
a table meaning candidate selection unit that selects at least one candidate for meaning of the table whose meaning is to be inferred;
a table similarity computation unit that computes, for each candidate for meaning selected by the table meaning candidate selection unit, a score indicating a similarity between the selected candidate for meaning and meaning of each table, other than the table whose meaning is to be inferred, related to the table whose meaning is to be inferred; and
a table meaning identification unit that identifies meaning of the table whose meaning is to be inferred from the candidates for meaning of the table with use of the score computed by the table similarity computation unit.
