Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for handling media assets in a networked environment. Media assets located in a data store are searched and through use of a level of relatedness algorithm, a subset of media assets are returned to a user's device. The subset of media assets are displayed in a tiered arrangement to a user.
Claims26
A method for providing access to media digital assets through a web site, comprising:
- receiving a media digital asset from a user over a communications network;
- wherein the media digital asset is a proprietary asset of the user;
- wherein the user has an agreement with respect to the media digital asset so that the received media digital asset is exclusively available through the web site;
- wherein the user is a member of a group focused on a predetermined interest;
- wherein the interest has been identified as an interest for which media digital assets are being generated or have been generated by people associated with the interest;
- determining whether to allow access of the received media digital asset to select members within the group or to publish the received media digital asset to the group;
- storing the media digital asset with other assets within a data store;
- and
- providing, to the group, access to the received media digital asset in accordance with the determined access rights.

A method for providing a social networking platform in order to access data items through a web site, comprising:
- using a common metadata structure to tag a plurality of disparate data items, thereby associating metadata tagging information with each disparate data item;
- receiving search input for searching the plurality of disparate data items stored in a data store;
- using the metadata tagging information associated with the disparate data items to determine a data item's relevance with respect to the received search input;
- ranking the disparate data items based upon the determined data items' relevance;
- retrieving disparate data items from the data store based upon the ranking of the disparate data items;
- automatically displaying the retrieved disparate data items on a display device.
