本研究は放送番組のシリーズに着目し，番組情報に含まれるURL などより幅広い観点を比較検討し，同定に有効な手法を示す．各フィールドに対する手法や組み合わせを検討し，区切り文字を設定しタイトルから抽出したマスタータイトルが完全一致するか，タイトルに対するジャロ・ウィンクラー距離を加味しつつ番組詳細からURL を抽出し一致するかという2 点のいずれかを満たすことを条件とし，連続シリーズの同定手法を提案した．そして，2021 年9 月から10 月にかけての35 日分の番組情報を対象に正解データを作成し，シリーズ数，放送回ペアの精度と再現率を指標として用い，手法の評価を行った．結果，タイトルから抽出したマスタータイトルを用いる手法の有効性が示された．また，URL による同定の条件について，ジャロ・ウィンクラー距離を加えることで精度向上に有用であることが示唆された．
