A sensing device management apparatus easily and appropriately generates a data catalog corresponding to sensor metadata. A device information obtaining unit (11d) obtains, based on data obtained by a sensing device (2) for performing sensing on a measurement target, an address for obtaining device information about the sensing device (2), and obtains the device information by accessing the address. A data catalog generation unit (11e) generates a data catalog (100) using the device information about the sensing device (2) obtained by the device information obtaining unit (11d).
