Abstract:
1. A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing therein a program for calculating similarity causing a computer to execute a process comprising: first counting a matching-attribute-value count by comparing, across a plurality of databases that store configuration items belonging to an information system, attribute values of one configuration item in each of the databases, the matching-attribute-value count being number of attribute values that are identical to each other; second counting a matching-attribute-value count by comparing, across the plurality of databases, attribute values of a configuration item that has a predetermined relationship with the one configuration item in each of the databases; calculating similarity between the configuration items, of which matching-attribute-value counts each have been counted at any one of the first counting and the second counting, based on the matching-attribute-value count counted at the first counting and the matching-attribute-value count counted at the second counting; receiving a decision input by displaying a plurality of pairs of the configuration items, similarities between which have been calculated at the calculating, in a descending order of the similarities on a predetermined display unit, the decision input indicating whether each of the pairs of the configuration items, about which the decision input has been received, is identical configuration items; and generating mapping information about mapping between the configuration items across the databases based on the decision input received at the receiving, wherein, at the receiving, similarities between pairs of configuration items excluding the pair of configuration items, about which the decision input has been received, are updated according to a decision of the decision input and the pairs of the configuration items are displayed in a descending order of the similarities to receive a decision input that indicates whether each of the pairs of the configuration items, the similarity between which has been calculated, is identical configuration items.
