System, method and computer program product for managing tabulated metadata
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a metadata editor, embodied on non-transitory computer memory including instructions executable by a computer processor to cause the metadata editor to;
display on a user interface a metadata record of properties associated with a digital asset in a network, the metadata record having one or more metadata fields, a first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields having a plurality of configuration parameters, a first configuration parameter of the plurality of configuration parameters selectable for applying a restriction to the first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields in the metadata record of the digital asset, the restriction specifying one or more user groups in the network; and
in response to a first user applying the restriction via the user interface, setting the first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields in the metadata record of the digital asset as a restricted field viewable only by one or more user groups in the network.

Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for managing metadata, including scalar, text, drop-down, type ahead, and tabular metadata related to digital assets. Restrictions may be set at the metadata field level to allow users of different user groups to view fields based on restriction classes. A metadata management tool may allow an administrator to restrict one or more metadata fields associated with a digital asset in a network with a restriction class. The restricted fields may be associated with one or more user groups in the network. Only users in the user groups associated with the restriction class can view the restricted fields, in addition to the digital asset and any unrestricted fields associated therewith. When searching tabular metadata, a ‘row oriented’ search function may retrieve only assets where the search criteria are matched by a single row.

8. A method of applying field level security to digital assets, the method comprising:
-
providing a metadata editor embodied on a computer having a processor and a memory; displaying, by the metadata editor on a user interface, a metadata record of properties associated with a digital asset in a network, the metadata record having one or more metadata fields, a first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields having a plurality of configuration parameters, a first configuration parameter of the plurality of configuration parameters selectable for applying a restriction to the first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields in the metadata record of the digital asset, the restriction specifying one or more user groups in the network; in response to a first user apply the restriction via the user interface, the metadata editor setting the first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields in the metadata record of the digital asset as a restricted field viewable only by the one or more user groups in the network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions translatable by one or more computing devices to provide a metadata editor, the instructions when translated by the one or more computing devices cause the metadata editor to:
-
display on a user interface a metadata record of properties associated with a digital asset in a network, the metadata record having one or more metadata fields, a first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields having a plurality of configuration parameters, a first configuration parameter of the plurality of configuration parameters selectable for applying a restriction to the first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields in the metadata record of the digital asset, the restriction specifying one or more user groups in the network; and in response to a first user applying the restriction via the user interface, setting the first metadata field of the one or more metadata fields in the metadata record of the digital asset as a restricted field viewable only by one or more user groups in the network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a metadata editor embodied on non-transitory computer memory including instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the metadata editor to; display on a user interface a plurality of tabular metadata fields associated with a digital asset in a network, a first tabular metadata field of the plurality of tabular metadata fields having a plurality of configuration parameters, a first configuration parameter of the plurality of configuration parameters selectable for applying a restriction to the first tabular metadata field of the plurality of tabular metadata fields, the restriction specifying one or more user groups in the network; in response to a first user applying the restriction via the user interface, setting the first tabular metadata field of the plurality of tabular metadata fields as a restricted field viewable only by one or more user groups in the network; and provide a tabular field editing function to enable the first user to edit the plurality of tabular metadata fields containing tabular metadata about the digital asset.
