1. A method comprising:
- extracting, via a computing device, a portion of a first media item having first metadata and a portion of a second media item having second metadata, each respective portion being a portion or component of a media item and not the entire media item;
combining, via the computing device, said first portion and said second portion to form a composite media item; and
analyzing, via the computing device, said first metadata and said second metadata to extract portions of said first and second metadata to form a new set of metadata for association with said composite media item, wherein the first metadata remains associated with the first media item portion and the second metadata remains associated with the second media item portion after said combining to form the composite media item and corresponding set of metadata in order to preserve a relationship between the respective media items and the media item portions, wherein upon extracting the first and second media item portions, the media item portions and respective media items exist separately.

Abstract
A set of metadata for association with the composite media item and a tool for creating a composite media item with an associated set metadata. In one embodiment, the tool comprises a component for extracting a portion of a first media item having first metadata and for extracting a portion of a second media item having second metadata, a component for combining the first portion and the second portion to form a composite media item, and a component for analyzing the first metadata and the second metadata to extract portions of the first and second metadata to form a new set of metadata for association with the composite media item. In one embodiment, the new metadata is a data container.

28. A method comprising:
-
identifying, via a computing device, a first metadata subset representing data associated with a first portion of a media item, the first portion being derived from a first source media item, the first metadata subset being derived from first metadata associated with the first source media item; identifying, via the computing device, a second metadata subset representing data associated with a second portion of the media item, the second portion being derived from a second source media item, the second metadata subset being derived from second metadata associated with the second source media item, wherein each respective portion being a portion or component of a media item and not the entire media item; and combining, via the computing device, the first portion and the second portion to form a composite media item, the first subset and the second subset forming a set of metadata for association with the composite media item that comprises predetermined information based on the first metadata subset and the second metadata subset, wherein the first metadata subset remains associated with the first media item portion and the second metadata subsets remains associated with the second media item portion after said combining to form the composite media item and corresponding set of metadata in order to preserve a relationship between the source media items and the media item portions, wherein upon deriving the media item portions, the media item portions and the source media items exist separately. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
