Abstract

A system includes a storage medium having stored instructions that when executed by a machine result in a clip entity associated with metadata and with at least one displayed object, and a clip tray having at least one stack, the at least one stack associated with a plurality of clip entities and to define an aggregation of metadata.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a storage medium having stored instructions that when executed by a machine result in the following;

a clip entity associated with metadata and with at least one displayed object; and

a clip tray having at least one stack, the at least one stack associated with a plurality of clip entities and to define an aggregation of metadata.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the clip entity is further associated with a text file, an audio file, or a video file.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the metadata comprises a semantic model 12 comprising at least one relationship between a plurality of metadata attributes.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the storage medium further provides:

a stack exporter to export the aggregation of metadata; and

a stack importer to import the aggregation of metadata.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the stack exporter is configured to export the aggregation of metadata to a file.

6. A computer implemented method comprising:

selecting a clip entity associated with metadata and with a displayed object;

adding the clip entity to a clip tray comprising at least one stack;

creating an aggregation of metadata associated with each stack based on the clip entities added on the stack.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

saving the aggregation of metadata in a file.
