ABSTRACT:
A semantic analysis apparatus includes a data obtaining unit that obtains data in which an item name and an item value belonging to the item name are represented in a predetermined data format; an item value extracting unit that extracts the item value from the data based on the data format; a concept storing unit that stores a concept which is a semantic notion to be attached to the item name and an instance which is specific data of the concept in association with each other; a concept specifying unit that specifies the concept, which is stored in the concept storing unit and which is associated with the instance which at least partially matches with a character string of the extracted item value, as the concept for the item name; and an associating unit that associates the concept with the item name.
