Data catalog automatic generation system and data catalog automatic generation method

A data catalog automatic generation system that generates a catalog tag to be used to select analysis data from collected field data, comprising:

• a memory;
• a network interface configured to accept the field data;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the network interface, wherein the processor is configured to:
• extract, based on a classification rule, a relationship between an objective variable as an analysis perspective of the field data and an explanatory variable corresponding to the objective variable or a causal relationship between a plurality of the explanatory variables corresponding to the objective variable,
• determine if an acquisition source of the field data is known,
• on a condition that the acquisition source of the field data is known, specify a first catalog tag for the objective variable and a second catalog tag for the explanatory variable on the basis of a source classification rule as the classification rule and supplementary information attached to source data that is the acquisition source of the field data,
• on a condition that the acquisition source of the field data is unknown, compare management data of a plurality of known acquisition sources and the field data to calculate a similarity degree, select one of the plurality of known acquisition sources based on the similarity degree, and specify the first catalog tag and the second catalog tag based on the one of the plurality of known acquisition sources, and
• attach the catalog tag, based on a result of the extraction of the relationship or the causal relationship, to the field data to manage the field data,
• wherein the classification rule is based on a previous catalog tag, such that with each classification rule created the catalog tag is improved.
