First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of media asset management comprising the steps of:
- encapsulating into each of an aggregation of assets an external specific identifier associated with each asset for a corresponding application, wherein the asset comprises references to a media essence with corresponding production rights, wherein the aggregation of assets also has a unique identifier, wherein the productions rights comprise metadata, and the external specific identifier is associated with specific media production and distribution rights, and wherein the external specific identifier is stored separately from a database storing the essence; and
querying the aggregation of assets with a given application using said specific identifier for that application to identify at least one asset associated with said identifier.

Abstract
An enhanced database system and method for media production and distribution enables the aggregation of assets using external unique IDs. The use of the external IDs allows the searching of Media Asset Management database to be performed without any prior knowledge of the actual database. The search configuration defines a set of search environment parameters that are imported into the search database during a configuration stage and which are used by the search services to provide client applications with an interface to create, validate, and execute queries.

12. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied thereon for use in media production and distribution environment, the computer program product comprising:
-
program code for encapsulating into each of an aggregation of assets an external specific identifier associated with each asset for a corresponding application, wherein the asset comprises references to a media essence with corresponding production rights, wherein the aggregation of assets also has a unique identifier, further wherein the productions rights comprise metadata, and the external specific identifier is associated with specific media production and distribution rights, and wherein the external specific identifier is stored separately from a database storing the essence; and program code for querying the aggregation of assets with a given application using said specific identifier for that application to identify at least one asset associated with said identifier. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
