Abstract
Provided is a method, system, and program for storing data in a data store, a first file in a first file format is received including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence. The essence is extracted from the file and stored in the data store. The metadata is extracted from each metadata object in the first file and stored in the data store in a second file format. The extracted metadata and essence in the data store are accessible using the unique identifier assigned to the essence.
Claims33
A method for storing data in a data store, comprising:
- receiving a multimedia file in a first file format including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence;
- extracting the essence from the multimedia file;
- storing the essence in the data store;
- generating a metadata file in a second file format by performing for each received metadata object in the received multimedia file:
- (i) determining whether the metadata object includes a label or attribute of a label;
- (ii) adding a tagged element to the metadata file corresponding to the label if the metadata object includes one label;
- and
- (iii) adding a tagged attribute to the metadata file if the metadata object includes one attribute for one label, wherein the tagged attribute indicates an attribute value for one tagged element corresponding to the label for which the value is provided;
- storing the metadata file in the data store;
- and
- using the unique identifier to access the essence and the metadata file in the data store.
A system for storing data, comprising:
- a data store;
- means for receiving a multimedia file in a first file format including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence;
- means for extracting the essence from the multimedia file;
- means for storing the essence in the data store;
- means for generating a metadata file in a second file format by performing for each metadata object in the multimedia file:
- (i) determining whether the metadata object includes a label or attribute of a label;
- (ii) adding a tagged element to the metadata file corresponding to the label if the metadata object includes one label;
- and
- (iii) adding a tagged attribute to the metadata file if the metadata object includes one attribute for one label, wherein the tagged attribute indicates an attribute value for one tagged element corresponding to the label for which the value is provided;
- means for storing the metadata file in the data;
- and
- means for using the unique identifier to access the essence and the metadata file in the data store.
An article of manufacture including code for storing data in a data store, wherein the code is capable of causing operations to be performed comprising:
- receiving a multimedia file in a first file format including essence, metadata objects providing information on the essence, and a unique identifier assigned to the essence;
- extracting the essence from the multimedia file;
- storing the essence in the data store;
- generating a metadata file in a second file format by performing for each received metadata object in the received multimedia file:
- (i) determining whether the metadata object includes a label or attribute of a label;
- (ii) adding a tagged element to the metadata file corresponding to the label if the metadata object includes one label;
- and
- (iii) adding a tagged attribute to the metadata file if the metadata object includes one attribute for one label, wherein the tagged attribute indicates an attribute value for one tagged element corresponding to the label for which the value is provided;
- storing the metadata file in the data store;
- and
- using the unique identifier to access the essence and the metadata file in the data store.
