Metadata quality improvement
First Claim
1. A method for improving a quality of original metadata associated with media having a uniform resource indicator (URI) on a communications network, said URI comprising a plurality of fields, said method comprising the steps of:
- analyzing each field of said plurality of fields associated with said media to identify associated metadata associated with said each field; and
adding said associated metadata to said original metadata.

Abstract
A method and system for improving the quality of original metadata associated with media on a computer network, such as multimedia and streaming media, includes analyzing each field of the URL of the multimedia and streaming media. Each field is analyzed to identify new metadata associated with that field. Identified new metadata is added to the original metadata. In another embodiment, the fields in the URL are reorganized in reverse order and metadata associated with a prefix of fields of the reorganized URL is added to the original metadata. In yet another embodiment, the contents of the field next to the prefix of fields is used to improve the quality of the original metadata.

11. A computer system for improving a quality of original metadata associated with media having a uniform resource indicator (URI), said URI comprising a plurality of fields, said computer system comprising at least one computer, each of said at least one computer being communicatively coupled to all of said at least one computer, wherein each of said at least one computer includes at least one program stored therein for allowing communication between each and every of said at least one computer, each of said at least one program operating in conjunction with one another to cause said at least one computer to perform the steps of:
-
reorganizing said plurality of fields of said URI associated with said media;
analyzing each field of said reorganized plurality of fields to identify associated metadata associated with said each field; and
adding said associated metadata to said original metadata. - View Dependent Claims (12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

13. A program readable medium having embodied thereon a program for causing a processor to improve a quality of original metadata associated with media having a uniform resource indicator (URI), said URI comprising a plurality of fields, said program readable medium comprising:
-
means for causing said processor to reorganize said plurality of fields of said URI associated with said media;
means for causing said processor to analyze each field of said reorganized plurality of fields to identify associated metadata associated with said each field; and
means for causing said processor to add said associated metadata to said original metadata.

15. A data signal embodied in a carrier wave comprising:
-
a reorganize code segment for reorganizing a plurality of fields of a URI, wherein said URI is a locator for media on a communications network having associated original metadata;
an analyze field code segment for analyzing each field of said reorganized plurality of fields to identify associated metadata associated with said each field; and
an add metadata code segment for adding said associated metadata to said original metadata.
