Systems and methods for defining digital asset tag attributes
First Claim
1. A method for determining a set of policy attributes to be applied to a digital asset, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving, at a client, a first asset identification tag corresponding to a digital asset and comprising one or more policies associated with the digital asset;
(b) associating, by the client, a second asset identification tag with the digital asset;
(c) identifying, by the client a predetermined flag in the first asset identification tag; and
(d) deactivating, by the client responsive to the identified predetermined flag in the first asset identification tag and the association of the second asset identification tag, the one or more policies associated with the first asset identification tag;
wherein the first asset identification tag corresponding to the digital asset is associated with the digital asset by default upon creation of the digital asset;
wherein associating the second asset identification tag with the digital asset includes storing the second asset identification tag while concurrently maintaining storage of the first asset identification tag in a non-volatile manner to keep both the first and second asset identification tags associated with the digital asset;
wherein the predetermined flag is an “
Active when single”
flag which directs the client to apply the one or more policies of the first asset identification tag only when there are no other asset identification tags associated with the digital asset; and
wherein deactivating the one or more policies of the first asset identification tag includes immediately ignoring a particular policy of the first asset identification tag in response to (i) identification of the “
Active when single”
flag and (ii) association of the second asset identification tag with the digital asset.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing digital assets in a distributed computing environment are described. Meta-data for the digital assets is stored separately from the digital assets. Meta-data for some of the digital assets is copied and stored at a central location. Meta-data for the digital assets is generated by clients of the system. A method for determining a set of policy attributes to be applied to a digital assets includes: receiving, at a client, a first asset identification tag corresponding to a digital asset and comprising one or more policies associated with the digital asset; associating a second asset identification tag with the digital asset; identifying, by the client a predetermined flag in the first asset identification tag; and deactivating, by the client responsive to the identified tag and the association of the second asset identification tag, the one or more policies associated with the first asset identification tag.

Active when single”
flag and (ii) association of the second asset identification tag with the digital asset. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 19)

7. A system for determining a set of policy attributes to be applied to a digital asset, the system comprising:
-
a client computing device which receives a first asset identification tag, the first asset identification tag corresponding to a digital asset and comprising one or more policies;
associates a second asset identification tag with the digital asset;
identifies a predetermined flag in the first asset identification tag; and
deactivates, responsive to the identified predetermined flag in the first asset identification tag and the association of the second asset identification tag, the one or more policies associated with the first asset identification tag;wherein the first asset identification tag corresponding to the digital asset is associated with the digital asset by default upon creation of the digital asset; wherein the client computing device, when associating the second asset identification tag with the digital asset, is constructed and arranged to store the second asset identification tag while concurrently maintaining storage of the first asset identification tag in a non-volatile manner to keep both the first and second asset identification tags associated with the digital asset; wherein the predetermined flag is an “
Active when single”
flag which directs the client to apply the one or more policies of the first asset identification tag only when there are no other asset identification tags associated with the digital asset; andwherein the client computing device, when deactivating the one or more policies of the first asset identification tag, is constructed and arranged to immediately ignore a particular policy of the first asset identification tag in response to (i) identification of the “
Active when single”
flag and (ii) association of the second asset identification tag with the digital asset. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions thereon to determine a set of policy attributes to be applied to a digital asset, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
(a) instructions to receive, at a client, a first asset identification tag corresponding to a digital asset and comprising one or more policies associated with the digital asset; (b) instructions to associate, by the client, a second asset identification tag with the digital asset; (c) instructions to identify, by the client a predetermined flag in the first asset identification tag; and (d) instructions to deactivate, by the client responsive to the identified predetermined flag in the first asset identification tag and the association of the second asset identification tag, the one or more policies associated with the first asset identification tag; wherein the first asset identification tag corresponding to the digital asset is associated with the digital asset by default upon creation of the digital asset; wherein the instructions to associate the second asset identification tag with the digital asset include instructions to store the second asset identification tag while concurrently maintaining storage of the first asset identification tag in a non-volatile manner to keep both the first and second asset identification tags associated with the digital asset; wherein the predetermined flag is an “
Active when single”
flag which directs the client to apply the one or more policies of the first asset identification tag only when there are no other asset identification tags associated with the digital asset; andwherein the instructions to deactivate the one or more policies of the first asset identification tag include instructions to immediately ignore a particular policy of the first asset identification tag in response to (i) identification of the “
Active when single”
flag and (ii) association of the second asset identification tag with the digital asset. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
