Abstract
Systems and methods for an open and collaborative media guidance application are provided. Users may join a distribution list to receive and/or provide modifications to media asset description information. A user may provide a modification to the media asset description information provided that he/she has sufficient authorization. The modification may be transmitted to a central server. The central server may filter the modification for improper information. The central server may update the media asset description information based on the received modification. The central server may transmit the modification or the updated media asset description information to media equipment devices associated with a distribution list. The media equipment devices may receive the modifications and process the modification based on local settings to update the locally stored media asset description information.
