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

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

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

26. 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: 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. 32. 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 types from a media asset sequentially and in accordance with a prioritized order of extraction based on metadata type; aggregating, using the hardware processor, the plurality of metadata types to produce an aggregated metadata describing the media asset; using 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; displaying 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.
