1. A system for augmentation of media content utilizing metadata, comprising:
- a context monitoring server stored and operating on a network-attached computer;
a plurality of media endpoints stored and operating on network-attached computing devices;
a database stored and operating on a network-attached computer; and
a media annotation service stored and operating on a network-attached computer;
wherein the context monitoring server receives media content from a plurality of media content sources over a network and determines contextual information relevant to the media content as the media content is received;
wherein the media annotation service augments the media content with metadata based on the contextual information and stores the resulting augmented media content in the database;
wherein the media annotation service stores the media content and the metadata in the database; and
wherein the augmented media content is viewable by the media endpoints.
