Abstract:
1. A management device comprising: a processor; a storage unit that stores therein for a configuration item whose attribute value is corrected a before-correction attribute value and, in association therewith, an after-correction attribute value and type information of the configuration item or relationship information between the configuration item and another configuration item, the after-correction attribute value being a candidate for one that replaces an attribute value of a configuration item when the attribute value is same as the before-correction attribute value; a determination unit using the processor that, when, for a new configuration item, an attribute value and type information or relationship information between the new configuration item and another configuration item are input, and the input attribute value coincides with a before-correction attribute value stored in the storage unit, determines a degree of coincidence between the type information for the new configuration item and type information stored, associated with the before-correction attribute, in the storage unit or between the relationship information for the new configuration item and relationship information stored, associated with the before-correction attribute, in the storage unit, the degree of coincidence including the number of coincidences; and an output unit that outputs an after-correction attribute value stored, associated with the before-correction attribute, in the storage unit based on the determination result of the determination unit, wherein the before-correction attribute value is an orthographic variant of the after-correction attribute value.
