Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a searchable platform for online content. Online content may be obtained over a network. The online content may have existing metadata associatedwith the online content. The existing metadata may include platform information related to distribution of the online content through the online content distribution platform, file information related to an electronic file that defines the online content, and/or other information. The existing metadata associated with the online content may be processed such that the existing metadata is searchable. Supplemental metadata for the online content may be obtained. The supplemental metadata may be associated with the online content. The supplemental metadata may include one or more of platform information, file information, content information, contextual information, and/or other information. A search query may bereceived and a result may be generated based the existing metadata and/or the supplemental metadata. The result may be presented.

Background

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 illustrates a system configured for providing a searchable platform for online content including metadata, in accordance with one or more implementations.

FIG. 2 illustrates a workflow process depicting the functionalityof a system configured for providing a searchable platform for online content including metadata, in accordance with one or more implementations.

FIG. 3 illustrates a methodfor providing a searchable platform for online content including metadata, in accordance with one or more implementations.DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 illustrates an example system 100 that is configured for providing a searchable platform for online content including metadata. The system may be configured to ingest large quantities of online content including the metadata associated with the online content. The metadata may be processed such that it is searchable via a platform for the online content. Supplemental metadata may be added to the system and associated with the online content by processing the online content and/or receiving information from one or more users and/or entities reviewing the online content. A search query may cause the system to generate a result including online content that satisfies the search query based on the existing metadata and/or the supplemental metadata associated with the online content. The result may be presented on one or more client computing platforms associated with the users. As

Claims

1. A system configured for providing asearchable platform for online content, the system comprising: one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: obtain online content over a network, the online content being available to content consumers through an online content distribution platform, the online content having existing metadata associated with the online content, wherein the existing metadata includes (i) platform information related to distribution of the online content through the online content distribution platform, and (ii) file information related to an electronic file that defines the online content; process the existing metadata associated with the online content such that the existing metadata is searchable; obtain supplemental metadata for the online content; associate the supplemental metadata with the online content, the supplemental metadata including one or more of platform information, file information, content information describing and/or related to content included in the online content, and/or contextual information indirectly associated with the onlinecontent; receive a search query over the network from one or more client computing platforms associated with users; generate a result for the search query based the existing metadata and/or the supplemental metadata, wherein the result includes the online content associated with the existing metadata and/or the supplemental metadata satisfying the search query; and effectuate presentation of the result on the one or more client computing platforms associated with the users. 12. A method for providing a searchable platform for online content, the method being implemented by a computer system including one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions, the method comprising: obtaining online content over a network, the online content being available to content consumers through an online content distribution platform, the online content having existing metadata associatedwith the online content, wherein the existing metadata includes (i) platform information related to distribution of the online content through the online content distribution platform, and (ii) file information related to an electronic file that defines the online content; processing the existing metadata associated with the online content such that the existing metadata is searchable; obtaining supplemental metadata for the online content; associating the supplemental metadata with the online content, the supplemental metadata including one or more of platform information, file information, content information describingand/or related to content included in the online content, and/or contextual information indirectly associated with the online content; receiving a search query over the network from one or more client computing platforms associated with users; generating a result for the search query based the existing metadata and/or the supplemental metadata, wherein the result includes the online content associated with the existing metadata and/or the supplemental metadata satisfying the search query; and effectuating presentation of the result on the one or more client computing platforms associated with the users.
