Annotation system for creating and retrieving media and methods relating to same
First Claim
1. A system for locating media data by associating with a classification comprising:
- a first computing device comprising first hardware and first software for controlling the first hardware to perform the following steps;
creating a multi-part classification attribute value, wherein the multi-part classification attribute value comprises information corresponding to a hierarchical classification, the hierarchical classification being descriptive of media data, and wherein the multi-part classification attribute value comprises at least a classification data representing a category attribute value, a context attribute value, and a detail attribute value;
creating a knowledge attribute data, wherein the knowledge attribute data comprises an alternative representation encoding the multi-part classification attribute value as a single value;
classifying the media data by storing the knowledge attribute data and an association between the knowledge attribute data and the media data;
receiving a media content query comprising at least a query value wherein the query value comprises information corresponding to a hierarchical classification that is descriptive of the requested media data and that comprises classification data representing at least a category search parameter, a context search parameter, and a detail search parameter; and
retrieving the association between the knowledge attribute data and the media data wherein the multi-part classification attribute value represented by the knowledge attribute data matches the media content query value.

Abstract
The invention described herein is generally directed to a method and apparatus for creating and retrieving audio data. In one implementation the invention comprises an annotation system configured to record, store, and retrieve media. The annotation system contains a set of client-processing devices configured to capture media for subsequent playback. Each client-processing device typically contains a record button to initiate the capture and is configured upon performing the capture operation to trigger an association of a unique ID with the media. The client-processing devices are further configured to upload the media and a unique ID to a server for purposes of storage. The server obtains the media and unique ID for subsequent retrieval and provides the media and the unique ID to at least one client-processing device from the set of client processing devices.
