Abstract

There is provided a system including a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory, and a metadata extraction and management unit stored in the memory. The hardware processor is configured to execute the metadata extraction and management unit to extract a plurality of metadata types from a media asset sequentially and in accordance with a prioritized order of extraction based on metadata type, aggregate the plurality of metadata types to produce an aggregated metadata describing the media asset, use the aggregated metadata to include at least one database entry in a graphical database, wherein the at least one database entry describes the media asset, display a user interface for a user to view tags of metadata associated with the media asset, and correcting presence of one of the tags of metadata associated with the media asset, in response to an input from the user via the user interface.

Background

BACKGROUND (1) Media assets, for example, movies or television (TV) programming, are typically rich in features and may require a variety of different categories of metadata to adequately describe their content. However, the conventional generation of metadata descriptive of a particular media asset is inadequate for enabling an effective comparison of content features across a library of such media assets. As a result, the conventional approach to generating and storing metadata descriptive of media assets fail to address large scale searching and cross-referencing of those media assets. SUMMARY (2) There are provided metadata extraction and management systems and methods, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.

Claims

1. A system comprising: a computing platform having a hardware processor; wherein the hardware processor is configured to: determine that a first metadata type of a plurality of metadata types is to be extracted from an audio-video (AV) content prior to extracting a second metadata type of the plurality of metadata types from the AV content, wherein the first metadata type is different than the second metadata type; extract first metadata of the first metadata type from the AV content, in response to determining that the first metadata type is to be extracted from the AV content prior to extracting the second metadata type of the plurality of metadata types from the AV content; determine, using the first metadata extracted from the AV content, that the second metadata type of the plurality of metadata types is to be extracted from the AV content after extracting the first metadata; extract second metadata of the second metadata type from the AV content, in response to determining that the second metadata type is to be extracted from the AV content after extracting the first metadata; aggregate the first metadata and the second metadata to produce an aggregated metadata describing the AV content; transform the aggregated metadata into at least one database entry in a graphical database, wherein the at least one database entry describes the AV content; display a user interface for a user to view metadata tags corresponding to the aggregated metadata describing the AV content; and correct a presence of one of the metadata tags, in response to an input from the user via the user interface. || 10. A method for use by a system including a computing platform including a hardware processor, the method comprising: determining that a first metadata type of a plurality of metadata types is to be extracted from an audio-video (AV) content prior to extracting a second metadata type of the plurality of metadata types from the AV content, wherein the first metadata type is different than the second metadata type; extracting first metadata of the first metadata type from the AV content, in response to determining that the first metadata type is to be extracted from the AV content prior to extracting the second metadata type of the plurality of metadata types from the AV content; determining, using the first metadata extracted from the AV content, that the second metadata type of the other one or more of the plurality of metadata types is to be extracted from the AV content after extracting the first metadata; extracting second metadata of the second metadata type from the AV content, in response to determining that the second metadata type is to be extracted from the AV content after extracting the first metadata; aggregating the first metadata and the second metadata to produce an aggregated metadata describing the AV content; transform the aggregated metadata into at least one database entry in a graphical database, wherein the at least one database entry describes the AV content; displaying a user interface for a user to view metadata tags corresponding to the aggregated metadata describing the AV content; and correcting a presence of one of the metadata tags, in response to an input from the user via the user interface.
