PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently generate highly precise knowledge metadata. PSOLUTION: The knowledge metadata generating apparatus generates a knowledge metadata relevant to a content provided to a user. The apparatus comprises a concept definition means for selecting a plurality of concepts among concepts of fields relevant to the content contained in an ontology established beforehand and establishing relation between the plurality of selected concepts to define a new concept, a storage means for accumulating the new concept acquired by the concept definition means into the ontology, and a knowledge metadata generation means for generating the knowledge metadata based on an information resource relevant to the content and the ontology. Thereby, the problem can be solved by the apparatus. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
