Methods, computer readable mediums and systems for linking related data from at least two data sources based upon a scoring algorithm
First Claim
1. A method for linking related data from at least two data sources, said method comprising:
- formatting items of data of a first data source according to attributes;
formatting items of data of a second data source according to said attributes;
executing a scoring algorithm for one or more of the attributes to generate a score for one or more sets of the formatted items of data, each of said sets comprising an item of data from the first data source and an item of data from the second data source; and
identifying related items of data of the first and second data sources based upon the generated scores.

Abstract
A method for linking related data, such as metadata, from at least two data sources. The method includes formatting items of data of the data sources according to attributes. The method also executes a scoring algorithm for one or more of the attributes to generate a score for one or more sets of the formatted items of data, each of the sets includes an item of data from one data source and an item of data from another data source. Finally the method identifies related items of data of the separate data sources based upon the generated scores to facilitate linking related data of the two data sources. The method may also provide a link between data items of the data sources.

30. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable components for linking related data from at least two sources of data, said components comprising:
-
an attribute component for formatting items of data of a first data source according to a plurality of predetermined attributes, said attribute component further formatting items of data of a second data source according to said attributes;
an engine component for executing a scoring algorithm for one or more of the attributes for generating a score for sets of data, said sets of data each comprising an item of data of the first data source formatted by the attribute component and an item of data from the second data source formatted by the attribute component; and
a filter component identifying related items of data formatted by the attribute component based upon the scores generated by the engine component. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)

33. A system for linking related data from at least two sources of data, said system comprising:
-
a first data feed;
a second data feed;
a processor for receiving said first and second data feeds, wherein the processor is configured to;
format items of data of the first data feed according to attributes, format items of data of the second data feed according to said attributes, execute a scoring algorithm for one or more of the attributes to generate a score for one or more sets of the formatted items of data, each of said sets comprising an item of data from the first data feed and an item of data from the second data feed, and identify related items of data of the first and second data feeds based upon the generated scores. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36)

37. A method for establishing a link between related metadata from at least two sources of metadata, said metadata including property data associated with a media file accessible by a client, comprising:
-
formatting items of data of a first metadata source according to attributes;
formatting items of data of a second metadata source according to said attributes;
executing a scoring algorithm for one or more of the attributes to generate a score for one or more sets of the formatted items of data, each of said sets comprising an item of data from the first data source and an item of data from the second data source;
identifying related items of data of the first and second data sources based upon the generated scores;
establishing at least one link between data items of the first metadata source related to data items of the second metadata source identified as being related; and
generating a user interface displaying the established link. - View Dependent Claims (38)
