METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSOCIATING TEXT AND SEGMENTS WITHIN MULTI-TAGGED LITERATURE BY APPLICATION OF METADATA

摘要

A method and system are presented whereby the metadata describing segments of digitized text and the descriptors thereof may be inserted into the digitized text and edited by a human editor. The metadata may optionally describe the relationships between human-generated segments of a source text and the tags used to describe aspects of the segments, wherein the tags may describe narrative themes, places, characters, etc., and/or the relationships between the segments of text, the tags describing the segments of text, and data structures used to compare relationships between the tags on various segments of text (“nodes”). When the text segments, the narrative tags and/or the nodes are edited, the associated metadata is adjusted accordingly.
