AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC METADATA GENERATION VIA INHERITANCE IN HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A method and system are provided that analyze a first digital asset to identify a set of attributes of the first digital asset. Search criteria are then formulated, and a search is conducted. Once search results are obtained, at least one second digital asset that is substantially identical to the first digital asset is identified. Then, metadata between the first digital asset and the second digital asset is shared.
