Generating and utilizing digital media clips based on contextual metadata from digital environments

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer device to:

• based on detecting user interaction with a content item, extract the content item comprising digital content data and content metadata;
• capture contextual signals from one or more active digital environments on a client device at a time of extracting the content item;
• generate contextual metadata for the content item based on the contextual signals from the one or more active digital environments;
• generate content item metadata for the content item within a content item attribute database by associating the content item comprising the digital content data and the content item metadata with the contextual metadata generated from the contextual signals from the one or more active digital environments;
• generate a digital media clip file by associating the content item comprising the digital content data and the content metadata with the contextual metadata generated from the contextual signals from the one or more active digital environments;
• identify a first collection of digital media clip files from a plurality of collections of digital media clip files by determining a correspondence value between the digital media clip file and the first collection of digital media clip files, the correspondence value being determined based on an analysis of:
• the content metadata and the contextual metadata of the digital media clip file;
• and
• collection content metadata and collection contextual metadata associated with the first collection of digital media clip files;
• associate the digital media clip file with the first collection of digital media clip files based on the correspondence value;
• and
• display the content item along with the content item metadata accessed from the content item attribute database within an interactive graphical user interface.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• detect selection of a content item comprising digital content data;
• based on detecting the selection of the content item:
• extract content metadata for the content item;
• and
• capture contextual signals from one or more active digital environments on a client device at a time of extracting the content item;
• generate contextual metadata for the content item based on the contextual signals from the one or more active digital environments;
• and
• generate a digital media clip file by associating the content item comprising the digital content data and the content metadata with the contextual metadata generated from the contextual signals from the one or more active digital environments;
• identify a first collection of digital media clip files from a plurality of collections of digital media clip files by determining a correspondence value between the digital media clip file and the first collection of digital media clip files, the correspondence value being determined based on an analysis of:
• the content metadata and the contextual metadata of the digital media clip file;
• and
• collection content metadata and collection contextual metadata associated with the first collection of digital media clip files;
• associate the digital media clip file with the first collection of digital media clip files based on the correspondence value;
• and
• display the content item along with one or more contextual metadata elements within the first collection of digital media clip files.
