Publication number: 20240045395Abstract: An instrument classification symbol specifying device includes a processor coupled to a memory. The processor acquires instrument information and a standardized information model. The processor specifies characteristics of an instrument on the basis of the instrument information. The processor determines an instrument classification symbol corresponding to the instrument on the basis of: determination information in which the characteristics of the instrument are associated with the instrument classification symbol, and the specified characteristics of the instrument. When the processor succeeds in specifying the characteristics of the instrument, the processor outputs a result of mapping between the instrument and the instrument classification symbol.
