Systems, methods and computer products for content-derived metadata

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer products for content-derived (generated) metadata. Exemplary embodiments include a metadata generation method, including receiving a media file, searching the media file for metadata associated with the media file, adding the metadata to a metadata file associated with the media file, searching the media file for media components and adding metadata entries that are associated with the media components to the metadata file.

System and method for flash folder access to service metadata in a metadata repository

Abstract: Embodiments are systems and methods for automatic submission of service metadata files into a metadata repository by utilizing a protocol for web-based distributed authoring and versioning to expose a folder as a virtual view of a categorization in a hierarchy of categorizations in a metadata repository. After a service metadata file is submitted to the folder, the system automatically introspects the service metadata file to identify service information, and then the system automatically creates a service asset in the metadata repository.

Automatic extraction of ontologies from teaching document metadata

Abstract: SITS (Scrutable Intelligent Teaching System) is designed to make use of existing learning items in flexible and effective learning interactions. The reuse of pre-existing resources is important since creating new learning resources is a time consuming task which requires a skilled author. The Internet also provides a large number of resources for reuse. A major hurdle for reuse is metadata, especially epistemological metadata since different teachers or courses may have different ontologies for a given domain. SITS takes a minimalist approach to metadata. It requires only that the author of a teaching environment should define document metadata specifying the concepts which each document teaches, requires, and uses.

Method and apparatus for accessing content based on user geolocation

Abstract: An approach is provided for mapping content, such as audio files, to associated metadata about the content The approach includes initiating a search for local metadata associated with particular content It is determined whether the local metadata is insufficient A request for metadata associated with the particular content is generated, if the local metadata is insufficient The request is sent to a metadata service to obtain result data including metadata for the particular content A search of the result data from the metadata service is initiated based on a description of the particular content to obtain most relevant metadata of the result data

A Metadata Integration Assistant Generator for Heterogeneous Distributed Databases

Abstract: This paper describes a metadata interchange approach for semi-automatedin tegration of heterogeneous distributedd atabases. Our system prototype uses distributed metadata to generate a GUI tool for a meta-user (who does the metadata integration) to describe mappings between master and source databases by assigning index number and specifying conversion function names; the system uses Quilt as its XML query language. The queries for the local databases being transparent for users are generated, which is based on the metadata built semi-automatically. An experiment testing feasibility is reportedin which 3 different publishers' databases are integrated.
