Information management apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information management, the process comprising:

• finding degrees of similarity in field information between databases selected from among a plurality of databases in each of which data are stored in accordance with an arrangement of a plurality of pieces of field information indicative of different kinds of data,
• creating a new database from the selected databases on a basis of the found degrees of similarity, the new database having, as a plurality of pieces of field information, first field information, which is obtained by unifying pieces of field information whose degree of similarity is higher than a threshold value, and second field information whose degree of similarity is equal to or lower than the threshold value,
• setting correspondences between field information of each of the selected databases and the field information of the new database, and
• performing control according to an input setting as to whether to access any of the selected databases or access the new database on a basis of the correspondences in a case where access to any of the selected databases is requested.
