System and method for metadata-based distribution of content
First Claim
1. A method of managing digital assets across an enterprise comprising:
- specifying rules for a distribution action using at least one metadata-based query;
querying indexed metadata in a metadata repository associated with a source host to identify assets at the source that satisfy said query; and
one or both of;
comparing said identified assets with those on a target site, wherein at least a portion of said identified assets are deployed to said target or at least a portion of assets at said target are expired based on said comparison

Abstract
In a system for metadata-based distribution of content, metadata queries are used to specify rules for content distribution jobs, allowing flexible, intelligent deployment, expiration and syndication of code and content across an enterprise or content network. A configurable payload adapter receives the metadata query, parses and translates the metadata into a form specific to the particular implementation, and then queries a metadata repository to identify a list of digital assets that satisfy the specified criterion specified by the metadata. The assets are retrieved from a content repository and distributed, syndicated and/or expired according to the distribution rules. Intelligent delivery of digital assets enables syndication of content based on offers and subscriptions.

24. A system for managing digital assets across an enterprise comprising:
-
a source that includes content and metadata repositories; and
means for specifying rules for a distribution action using at least one metadata-based query; and
