Abstract

According to one embodiment, an ontology updating apparatus includes a generation unit, an updating unit, a detection unit and a notification unit. The generation unit generates updating reference relationship. The updating unit updates a first class and a first package. The detection unit detects, using the updating reference relationship, whether at least one of target packages are comprised in the updating reference packages of the updated first package, the target packages each indicating a package to be updated and associated with the updated first class. The notification unit generates, if there is the target package, an update notice that the target package needs to be updated.
