Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and media for providing a graph of assets by one or more computing devices include building an asset graph from a data set of assets, the asset graph including plural assets, at least one connection connecting each asset to one or more other asset in the graph, and metadata associated with each connection storing details relating to the connection; identifying an asset in the asset graph that corresponds to an asset in a third party social media platform'"'"'s asset graph; requesting information relating to connections to the identified asset; receiving the requested information relating to connections to the identified asset; and building out the asset graph according to the received information.

Claims

1. A system for organizing assets, said system comprising:

one or more storage devices storing a data set of plural internal assets, said data set having an graph structure organizing said internal assets with one or more connections between internal assets and metadata associated with each connection; and

a processor configured to;

retrieve from one or more third party data sets one or more external assets and connections between the external assets;

determine relationships between the external assets and the internal assets; and

create at least one internal connection and metadata associated with the connection indicating the type of the connection.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the external assets are one or more of people and objects relating to a social media platform.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the internal assets are one or more of products, articles, blog posts, tweets, streaming content, downloadable content, websites, users, and creatives.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein said processor identifies some of the external assets as identical to the internal assets, and wherein said processor determines relationships between the internal assets and the external assets by identifying connections between an external asset related to an internal asset and one or more other external assets.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein said processor creates an inferred connection between two assets and creates metadata associated with the inferred connection indicating details of the inferred connection.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor identifies a user and recommends an asset to the user.

7. A computer-implemented method for providing a graph of assets by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:

building, by at least one of the computing devices, an asset graph from a data set of assets, the asset graph including plural assets, at least one connection connecting each asset to one or more other asset in the graph, and metadata associated with each connection storing details relating to the connection;

identifying, by at least one of the computing devices, an asset in the asset graph that corresponds to an asset in a third party social media platform'"'"'s asset graph;

requesting, by at least one of the computing devices, information relating to connections to the identified asset;

receiving, by at least one of the computing devices, the requested information relating to connections to the identified asset; and

building out, by at least one of the computing devices, the asset graph according to the received information.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, wherein the external assets are one or more of people and objects relating to a social media platform.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the internal assets are one or more of products, articles, blog posts, tweets, streaming content, downloadable content, websites, users, and creatives.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, further comprising:

identifying some of the external assets as identical to the internal assets, and

determining relationships between the internal assets and the external assets by identifying connections between an external asset related to an internal asset and one or more other external assets.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising creating an inferred connection between two assets and creating metadata associated with the inferred connection indicating details of the inferred connection.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising identifying a user and recommending an asset to the user.

13. Computer-readable code stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a mobile device, performs the method:

building, by at least one of the computing devices, an asset graph from a data set of assets, the asset graph including plural assets, at least one connection connecting each asset to one or more other asset in the graph, and metadata associated with each connection storing details relating to the connection;

identifying, by at least one of the computing devices, an asset in the asset graph that corresponds to an asset in a third party social media platform'"'"'s asset graph;

requesting, by at least one of the computing devices, information relating to connections to the identified asset;

receiving, by at least one of the computing devices, the requested information relating to connections to the identified asset; and

building out, by at least one of the computing devices, the asset graph according to the received information.

14. The computer-readable code of claim 13, wherein the external assets are one or more of people and objects relating to a social media platform.

15. The computer-readable code of claim 14, wherein the internal assets are one or more of products, articles, blog posts, tweets, streaming content, downloadable content, websites, users, and creatives.

16. The computer-readable code of claim 15, the method further comprising:

identifying some of the external assets as identical to the internal assets, and

determining relationships between the internal assets and the external assets by identifying connections between an external asset related to an internal asset and one or more other external assets.

17. The computer-readable code of claim 13, the method further comprising creating an inferred connection between two assets and creating metadata associated with the inferred connection indicating details of the inferred connection.

18. The computer-readable code of claim 13, the method further comprising identifying a user and recommending an asset to the user.
