Metadata mapping to support targeted advertising

Abstract: A television server generates a metadata map that represents relationships among media content description data based on viewing patterns of multiple viewers. The television server sends the metadata map to a client device. The client device targets advertisements to a viewer based on the metadata map and a recent viewing history of the viewer.

Method of managing metadata

Abstract: Managing metadata in a metadata transmission server by generating a plurality of metadata fragment data by partitioning metadata to be transmitted based upon predetermined segment units, selecting predetermined metadata fragment data from among the plurality of the metadata fragment data, generating metadata-related authentication information using the selected metadata fragment data, and transmitting the selected metadata fragment data and the metadata-related authentication information including data format information indicating type of the selected metadata fragment data. A metadata receiving client uses the transmitted metadata fragment data, the metadata-related authentication information and the metadata format type information to authenticate the received metadata.

Method and system for cross browsing of various multimedia data sources in a searchable repository

Abstract: The present invention introduces a system and method for organizing, storing, retrieving and searching through binary representations of information in many forms and formats. Data is stored in its original file format, while maintaining metadata about the data items in a relational database. During searches the system utilizes the metadata to invoke data translators of the appropriate type to present data to the search engine itself. In addition, the system utilizes profiles and access control lists to restrict access to data to authorized users.

Metadata management convergence platforms, systems and methods

Abstract: Metadata management convergence platforms, systems, and methods to organize a community of users' data records. More specifically, methods managing metadata records related to content housed in unique, disparate or federated holdings in centralized or distributed environments. Also systems and methods for creating and managing metadata records using domain specific language, vocabulary and metadata schema accepted by a community of users of unique, disparate or federated databases in centralized or distributed environments. Such environments can include content repositories including but not limited to: vehicle fleet information systems; government document holdings; insurance and underwriting information holdings; academic library collections; and entertainment archives.

Storage system structure for storing relational cache metadata

Abstract: A storage system includes a cache and a collection of metadata, organized by their associations with regard to the data they represent. In one embodiment, the cache stores data blocks in a first plurality of locations. A first metadata storage stores metadata including block addresses of data blocks within the cache. A second metadata storage includes a second plurality of locations, each for storing metadata including a block address identifying a corresponding data block within the cache. The metadata stored within the second metadata storage also includes a first pointer to the corresponding data block. In addition, at least one of the second locations may store a second pointer to another of the second locations that stores metadata corresponding to a related data block. The cache and the first metadata storage are non-volatile storages; however, the second metadata storage may be a volatile storage.
