Abstract

There are provided systems and methods for performing metadata extraction and management. Such a system includes a computing platformhaving a hardware processor, a system memory, and metadata extraction and management unitstored in the system memory. The system is configured to extract multiple metadata types from a media asset, and to aggregate the multiple metadata types to produce an aggregated metadata describing the media asset. The system is further configured to transform the aggregated metadata into at least one database entry identifying the media asset, and to map the at least one database entry into a graphical database so as to relate the media asset to at least one other media asset represented in the graphical database.

Background

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 shows a diagram of one exemplary system for performing metadata extraction and management, according to one implementation;

FIG. 2 shows a more detailed representation of a metadata extraction and management unit suitable for use in the system of FIG. 1, according to one exemplary implementation;

FIG. 3 is a flowchart presenting an exemplary method for use by a system to perform metadata extraction and management, according to one implementation;

FIG. 4 shows an exemplary display provided by a user interface of the system shown in FIG. 1, according to one implementation; and

FIG. 5 shows another exemplary display provided by the user interface of the system shown in FIG. 1.DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description contains specific information pertaining to implementations in the present disclosure. One skilled in the art will recognize that the present disclosure may be implemented in a manner different from that specifically discussed herein. The drawings in the present application and their accompanying detailed description are directed to merely exemplary implementations. Unless noted otherwise, like or corresponding elements among the figures may be indicated by like or corresponding reference numerals. Moreover, the drawings and illustrations in the present application are generally not to scale, and are not intended to correspond to actual relative dimensions.

The present applicatio

Claims

1. A system comprising: a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory; a metadata extraction and management unit stored in the system memory; wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the metadata extraction and management unit to: extracta plurality of metadata types from a media asset; aggregate the plurality of metadata types to produce an aggregated metadata describing the media asset; transform the aggregated metadata into at least one database entry identifying the media asset; and map the at least one database entry into a graphical database so as to relate the media asset to at leastone other media asset represented in the graphical database. 13. A method for use by a system including a computing platform including a hardware processor and a system memory having stored therein a metadata extraction and management unit, the method comprising: extracting, using the hardware processor, a plurality of metadata type from a media asset; aggregating, using the hardware processor, the plurality of metadata types to produce an aggregated metadata describing the media asset; transforming, using the hardware processor, theaggregated metadata into at least one database entry identifying the media asset; and mapping, using the hardware processor, the at least one database entry into a graphical database so as to relate the media asset to at least one other media asset represented in the graphical database.
