Flexible and scalable artificial intelligence and analytics platform with advanced content analytics and data ingestion

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and translatable by the processor for:
• receiving, in real-time, unstructured content from a plurality of disparate content sources;
• generating metadata from the unstructured content, the metadata comprising:
• editorial metadata extracted from the unstructured content;
• and
• semantic metadata inferred from the unstructured content;
• mapping the metadata to master metadata in an internal ingestion pipeline document conforming to a uniform mapping schema that defines the master metadata;
• populating the internal ingestion pipeline document with the mapped metadata;
• and
• subsequently persisting the mapped metadata from the internal ingestion pipeline document in data structures of a central repository.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor for:
