Method and apparatus for metadata directed dynamic and personal data curation

At least one computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, when the instructions are executed on a machine, cause the machine to:

• retrieve a presentation having static objects and dynamic meta-objects, wherein each dynamic meta-object corresponds to at least one metadata tag;
• present static elements in the presentation to a user;
• selectively replace an element corresponding to each dynamic meta-object in the presentation according to information and criteria stored in the metadata tag corresponding to the dynamic meta-object;
• and
• present one of the element corresponding dynamic meta-object or the selectively replaced dynamic element to the user during playback of the presentation.

A system for generating a dynamic content presentation, comprising:

• a dynamic story creation module coupled to a selection module, where the selection module is to track and record steps taken by an author in a process for selecting a dynamic element of the dynamic content presentation, and wherein metadata tags are to be generated for each dynamic element with information corresponding to the tracked steps;
• a dynamic contextual replacement module to allow identification of context criteria and parameters to be used for replacing a dynamic element with a new element relevant to context of a viewer of the presentation;
• and
• a metadata correlation module to correlate criteria used in the process for selecting the dynamic element with the metadata tags corresponding to the dynamic element and with context criteria for replacing the dynamic element based on contextual information corresponding to the viewer, and further to generate a metadata tag package for the presentation.
