Abstract
Assigning a single master identifier to all related content assets. Memory is provided for storing content assets and metadata associated with each of the content assets, wherein the metadata includes a plurality of metadata field entries. A processor is coupled to the memory. The processor is configured for analyzing the metadata associated with each of the content assets to produce correlations between metadata field entries associated therewith, identifying related content assets by determining content assets having a predetermined correlation between metadata field entries and assigning a single, unique asset identifier to the related content assets.
Claims20
A system for assigning a single master identifier to all related content assets, comprising:
- memory for storing content assets and metadata associated with each of the content assets, the metadata comprising a plurality of metadata field entries;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, the processor analyzing the metadata associated with each of the content assets to produce correlations between metadata field entries associated therewith, identifying related content assets by determining content assets having a predetermined correlation between metadata field entries and assigning a single, unique asset identifier to the related content assets.
A method for identifying related content assets, comprising:
- receiving content assets at an asset server;
- storing received content assets in memory;
- extracting metadata from the received content assets for analysis;
- analyzing the extracted metadata associated with each of the content assets to produce correlations between metadata field entries associated therewith;
- identifying related content assets by determining content assets having a predetermined correlation between metadata field entries;
- and
- assigning a single, unique asset identifier to the related content assets.
A computer readable medium including executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, identifies related content assets, by:
- receiving content assets at an asset server;
- storing received content assets in memory;
- extracting metadata from the received content assets for analysis;
- analyzing the extracted metadata associated with each of the content assets to produce correlations between metadata field entries associated therewith;
- identifying related content assets by determining content assets having a predetermined correlation between metadata field entries;
- and
- assigning a single, unique asset identifier to the related content assets.
