Abstract: A display-data generating apparatus obtains reputation information indicative of reputation of a subject and extracted from a text accessible via a network, and linkage information indicative of a linkage between texts, and couples the reputation information and the linkage information to obtain the linkage between the texts associated with the reputation information specified from each of the texts. The display-data generating apparatus determines a display mode of a first mark that symbolizes the text and a second mark that symbolizes the linkage based on the reputation information corresponding to the text, and generates a display data to display the first mark and the second mark in the determined display mode.

Abstract: An instance selecting apparatus stores a plurality of instances each of which includes an item name and an item value. The item name denotes the name of an item, whereas the item value denotes the value of the item. When having received a meta information that includes an item name and an item value, the instance selecting apparatus calculates, for each of the instances, a relevance degree showing a relationship between the instance and the meta information, by applying a weighting coefficient to a level of similarity between the meta information and at least one of the item name and the item value of the instance. The instance selecting apparatus then selects one or more of the instances having a higher level of relevance with the meta information, based on the relevance degrees.
