12 Jun 2008TL;DR: In this paper, a system and methods for adjusting playback and graphical representations of media files are provided, which can be used to adjust the playback of the media file and adjust a graphical representation of the file.
Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting playback and graphical representations of media files are provided. The systems and methods can monitor playback and access of media files to create usage metadata. The usage metadata can then be used to adjust the playback of the media file. For example, the usage metadata may indicate that a user skips, on average, the first 22 seconds of a particular song so the next time that song is played, the first 22 seconds will automatically be skipped. The usage metadata can additionally or alternatively be used to adjust a graphical representation of the media file. For example, the usage metadata may indicate that a user rarely accesses a particular song so the graphical representation of that song will be small and faded. This change in graphical representation can help a user find more commonly used media files.

10 Oct 2004TL;DR: The contextual metadata that is automatically assembled for a photograph, given time and location, is described, as well as a browser interface that utilizes that metadata.
Abstract: Given time and location information about digital photographs we can automatically generate an abundance of related contextual metadata, using off-the-shelf and Web-based data sources. Among these are the local daylight status and weather conditions at the time and place a photo was taken. This metadata has the potential of serving as memory cues and filters when browsing photo collections, especially as these collections grow into the tens of thousands and span dozens of years.We describe the contextual metadata that we automatically assemble for a photograph, given time and location, as well as a browser interface that utilizes that metadata. We then present the results of a user study and a survey that together expose which categories of contextual metadata are most useful for recalling and finding photographs. We identify among still unavailable metadata categories those that are most promising to develop next.

TL;DR: In this article, a system, method, and program for improving the performance for SQL queries is presented, where multidimensional metadata associated with a cube model metadata object is obtained.
Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and program for improving the performance for SQL queries. Multidimensional metadata associated with a cube model metadata object is obtained. One or more summary tables to be built are automatically identified based on the obtained multidimensional metadata. One or more indexes to create are automatically identified based on the obtained multidimensional metadata.

17 Nov 2003TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for correlating an image with information associated with the image comprising identifying image metadata for the image, wherein the image metadata includes information associating with conditions at the time of image capture, searching one or more information sources using parameters in the imagemetadata to collect inference information from the information sources, and displaying the inference information to a user.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for correlating an image with information associated with the image comprising identifying image metadata for the image, wherein the image metadata includes information associated with conditions at the time of image capture, searching one or more information sources using parameters in the image metadata to collect inference information from the information sources, and displaying the inference information to a user.

21 Jan 2000TL;DR: In this article, a portal server retrieves user requests through a computer network and looks up information stored in a metadata databases, which includes information including a classmark definition for each document.
Abstract: The system and method for searching and retrieving information stored in heterogeneous information repositories. A portal server retrieves user requests through a computer network and looks up information stored in a metadata databases. For example, the metadata may be encoded in an XML/RDF format and stored in a directory server to facilitate effective searching and retrieval of information from an information repository. Metadata includes information including a classmark definition for each document. The classmark is determined through an automated cataloguing process.
