Abstract

Briefly, one or more embodiments of methods, apparatuses or systems for media or content tagging are described.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

determining for one or more electronic media or content items, via a special purpose computing system, at least one of the following;

one or more location tags or one or more geographical locations;

wherein said one or more location tags or said one or more geographical locations are determined at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said determining comprises determining one or more location tags based at least in part on a geographical location.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said determining comprises determining one or more geographical locations based at least in part on a location tag.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said user credibility signal sample values comprises a filtered combination of user credibility signal sample values.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein said filtered combination comprises a statistical mean.

4. The method of 1, wherein said location tags or geographical locations are categorized and wherein said location tags or geographical locations are determined at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values for categories corresponding to categories for said location tags or said geographical locations.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said user credibility signal sample values comprise a vector of user credibility signal sample values;

said vector comprising user credibility signal sample values for different categories.

8. A method comprising:

transmitting a location tag or a geographical location for an electronic media or content item; and

receiving one or more geographical locations for said location tag or one or more location tags for said geographical location;

said received geographical locations or location tags being based at least in part on one or more user credibility signal sample values.

9. The method of claim 8, and further comprising:

transmitting a selected geographical location out of the received geographical locations or a selected location tag out of the received location tags.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a special purpose computing system;

said special purpose computing system including a capability to determine, for one or more electronic media or content items, at least one of the following;

one or more location tags or one or more geographical locations;

wherein said special purpose computing system further including said capability to determine said one or more location tags or said one or more geographical locations at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said special purpose computing system further including a capability to determine one or more location tags based at least in part on a geographical location.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said special purpose computing system further including a capability to determine one or more geographical locations based at least in part on a location tag.

13. The apparatus of 10, wherein said special purpose computing system further including a capability to categorized said location tags or geographical locations and to determine said location tags or geographical locations at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values for categories corresponding to categories for said location tags or said geographical locations.

14. The apparatus of 10, wherein said special purpose computing system further including a capability to determine said one or more location tags or said one or more geographical locations at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values comprising a filtered combination of user credibility signal sample values.

15. An article comprising:

a storage media having stored thereon instructions executable by a special purpose computing system;

said instructions being executable to determine, for one or more electronic media or content items, at least one of the following;

one or more location tags or one or more geographical locations;

wherein said instructions further being executable to determine said one or more location tags or said one or more geographical locations at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values.

16. The article of claim 15, wherein said instructions further being executable to determine one or more location tags based at least in part on a geographical location.

17. The article of claim 15, wherein said instructions further being executable to determine one or more geographical locations based at least in part on a location tag.

18. The article of 15, wherein said instructions further being executable to categorized said location tags or geographical locations and to determine said location tags or geographical locations at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values for categories corresponding to categories for said location tags or said geographical locations.

19. The article of 15, wherein said instructions further being executable to determine said one or more location tags or said one or more geographical locations at least in part in accordance with one or more user credibility signal sample values comprising a filtered combination of user credibility signal sample values.
