A portal site for serving data monitored and observed, which can not only
act for monitoring and observing services, instead of a facility owner,
but also process the data into economically valuable data with the use of
the result of monitoring and observation, is connected to a computer
network so as to gather sequential data which is observed in time series
by a not less than one sensor as to an operation running condition of a
facility belonging the facility owner, and event data monitored
invariantly, and incorporates a function of obtaining a data disclosure
profile for designating a degree of disclosure of the data, from the
facility owner, and a function of onerously serving an item of secondary
data obtained by processing the data in a range satisfying the data
disclosure profile, to a data user different from the facility owner.
