Abstract
A content managing system capable of achieving the processing for assigning metadata related to the subject of multimedia content such as video and audio to the content with less effort. Non-text content managing section 110 transmits original metadata manually assigned to non-text based content to text-based content managing section 120. Similar text-based content retrieval section 125 in text-based content managing section 120 retrieves similar text-based content using the original metadata, and the metadata automatically extracted with respect to the similar text-based content is transmitted to non-text based content managing section 110 as additional metadata for the non-text based content.
