Definitions
- This invention relates to storing, retrieving, and tracking digital data. More particularly, this invention relates to data definitions that allow disparate types of digital assets, such as, for example, photographs, graphics, audio, video, and text documents, to be easily and economically stored, retrieved, and tracked.
- Data definitions may be written using XML (extensible markup language) .
- XML is a condensed form of SGML (standard generalized markup language) , which is an information management standard that provides documents that retain formatting, indexing, and linked information -- independent of application and platform.
- SGML standard generalized markup language
- XML and SGML can be used to organize and present information on the World Wide Web.
- Metadata is "information about information," that is, information used to identify or classify the content. Metadata can include, for example, content titles, version numbers, authors, captions, and other descriptive information relevant to the content .
- assets are often stored in disparate repositories and on disparate media (e.g. audio and video cassette tapes, motion picture film, photographic negatives, digital video discs, etc.). Accordingly, a significant amount of time is often required to locate a particular asset and then deliver a copy of it.
- databases are commonly structured to store only one type of digital asset, such as, for example, only photographs.
- the number, size, and formats of record fields used in the database, characters delimiting the end of files, file size of database records, etc. are all usually customized (and limited) to that one type of asset.
- Even those few databases that are known to store more than one asset type are also limited with respect to record field definitions and record file size, making them incompatible for use with many other types of digital assets. Such databases are thus impractical for storing a large variety of different types of digital assets.
- data definitions are provided for digital assets that include a hierarchical structure that reflects the relationships between attributes and categories of content.
- These definitions preferably encoded in XML, can be used as a standardized dictionary to create a digital asset library that is easily and economically manageable.
- the data definitions are applicable to digital assets of disparate data types and include metadata identifiers sufficient to uniquely identify those digital assets.
- FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an interface for ordering digital assets using data definitions according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a hardware system within which the invention can be used;
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an embodiment of integrated software according to the invention
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an application interface configuration according to the invention
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a display screen for asset searching according to the invention
- FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a display screen for search results according to the invention
- FIG. 7 is a high level block diagram showing an embodiment of a document type definition (DTD) for digital assets according to the invention.
- DTD document type definition
- the invention provides data definitions, preferably in XML, for disparate types of digital assets, such as, for example, artwork, logos, photographs, video, graphics, music, still photographs, promotion stills, promos (e.g., an audio or video promotional announcement) , tapes, soundtracks, text, video frames (a single image from a video recording) , video clips (a group of images from a video recording) , and dailies (unedited and unprocessed video or film typically recorded the previous day).
- Digital assets include content (i.e., the actual asset data) and metadata.
- Data definitions of the invention advantageously permit a single database to be used for storing, retrieving, and tracking different types of assets whose contents are preferably stored either on the same computer as the database, in the database, on a computer linked to the database via the same network, or combinations thereof.
- These data definitions allow, for example, employees, affiliates, and customers to relatively easily and economically replicate or transfer assets between repositories where the assets are located and destinations where the assets are currently needed.
- electronic records can be created to allows usage of those assets o be easily tracked. Thus, the costs associated with managing those assets are significantly reduced.
- FIG. 1 shows an interface for searching and ordering digital assets facilitated by the invention.
- System Home Screen 101 is preferably the first screen a user views when searching for a digital asset (e.g., a video program) . While at Home Screen 101, users may enter search criteria before proceeding to another screen. However, this is alternatively not necessary. From Home Screen 101, the user may proceed in one of the following ways: along path 102 to Login Screen 103, along path 104 to Register Screen 105, along path 106 to Advanced Search Screen 107, along path 108 to Top Picks Screen 109, along path 110 to Latest Releases Screen 111, or along path 112 to Editor's Choice Screen 113.
- Login Screen 103 users login to a secured version of a search system associated with interface 100.
- a user entering Login Screen 103 along path 102 is preferably directed along path 114 to User Home Screen 115 unless the user entered search criteria while viewing Home Screen 101. In that case, the user is preferably directed to Order Confirmation and Download Screen 117 along path 116. Similarly, if the user entered Login Screen 103 along path 127, the user is also preferably directed to Order Confirmation and Download Screen 117.
- Register Screen 105 users register to use the system. Users may be assigned or may freely choose a username, password, and any other relevant identifying information. Users may be prompted by Register Screen 105 to enter information deemed relevant or necessary by the system. After registering, users are preferably directed along path 118 to User Home Screen 115.
- Screen 107 users enter or are given pre-defined criteria with which the database of the invention can be searched.
- Screen 107 preferably allows users to generate advanced search criteria including, but not limited to, searching specific strings, numeric values, fields or combinations of fields containing data, as well as allowing users to define complex or simple search expressions using boolean or other logic, wildcards, multiple search criteria, or any other type of search functionality.
- a user upon an indication by a user or upon a pre-defined system event (for example, expiration of a timer) , a user will be directed along path 119 to Search Results Screen 120.
- a user can view and select from a subset of assets defined in the database.
- This subset may be predefined by the user, the system, or a system administrator.
- the subset may be defined as the most viewed assets, most searched for assets, most retrieved assets, most popular assets, or top assets based on a criteria defined by a user, the system, or an administrator.
- a user can view and select from a subset of assets in the database.
- This data is preferably a subset of the most recently added assets in the database.
- the subset may be defined as the most recently released assets, most recently produced assets, or any other desired subset of data in the database.
- a user can view and select from a subset of assets defined in the database. This subset is preferably a selection of assets that one or more editors, within the company or organization viewing or providing the database, has selected as being desirable for viewing based on one or more criteria defined by the editors.
- a user can view personalized or standard information relating to that user's usage of the database. The system may present the user with search possibilities, the ability to view some subset of assets defined in the database, a listing of data that may be useful in some respect, and any other relevant information or functional possibilities.
- a pre-defined system event for example, expiration of a timer
- a user can view and select from a subset of data retrieved in accordance with criteria defined by the user while viewing Advanced Search Screen 107 and possibly in accordance with one or more database enforced criteria.
- a user Upon indicating a selection of one or more assets, a user is directed along path 121 to Content Detail Screen 123.
- a user may be directed along path 124 from any of screens 109, 111, or 113 to Content Detail Screen 123.
- a user may be automatically directed to screen 123 if a small number of asset definitions are the only items the user wishes to view. For instance, if a user performs a complex search and the system finds only one asset satisfying the search criteria, the system may automatically bypass Search Results Screen 120 and display Content Detail Screen 123.
- a user can view all or part of the summary data directly related to one or more items selected manually or automatically by the user.
- a user is directed along path 125 to Order Options Screen 126.
- a user can view and select from options related to ordering and downloading data for which summary data was viewed while viewing Content Detail Screen 123. These options may include billing, routing, formatting, data transmission, delivery date, delivery time, and other relevant options.
- the user Upon indication by a user or upon a pre-defined system event, the user is directed along path 127 to Login Screen 103 or along path 128 to Order Confirmation And Download Screen 117.
- a user is directed along path 127 when the user has not logged in using Login Screen 103.
- a user is directed along path 128 when the user had previously logged in via Login Screen 103. In some systems, logging in is not necessary.
- a user that has logged in but has not taken any decisive action is directed along path 127.
- the system preferably displays details and summary information relating to an asset that was ordered by a user.
- the user is preferably presented with the opportunity to download or retrieve the asset.
- Such retrieval may be performed either electronically or by using devices (such as printers, tape recorders, compact disc writers, digital video disc writers, or other recording or printing equipment) to convert an asset stored in a database or in an associated or networked computer memory to a digital or analog item stored in another manner .
- any of paths 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 118, 119, 121, 122, 124, 125, or 128 may be traversed in reverse by users that wish to step backwards in the search and ordering process. Also, securing the search system is not a necessary function of the invention. Note further that all of interface 100 is not necessary for implementing the invention; an interface employing even a very small ⁇ subset of interface 100 can benefit from the invention.
- the data definitions of the invention enable systems using interface 100 or similar interfaces to provide satisfactory interactive search and response times to users.
- FIG. 2 shows a hardware system 200 that can be used to manage digital data defined with data definitions in accordance with the invention.
- System 200 preferably includes one or more servers 201, a secure transmission line 202, at least one secure recording or printing device 203, one or more secure access devices (e.g., laptop 204, computer 205, and workstation 206), at least one firewall 207, one or more non-secure transmission lines 208, one or more non-secure access devices (e.g., computer 209, workstation 210, and laptop 211) , and at least one non-secure recording or printing device 212.
- secure transmission line 202 e.g., at least one secure recording or printing device 203, one or more secure access devices (e.g., laptop 204, computer 205, and workstation 206), at least one firewall 207, one or more non-secure transmission lines 208, one or more non-secure access devices (e.g., computer 209, workstation 210, and laptop 211) , and at least one non-secure recording
- One or more servers 201 store all or part of one or more databases. Servers 201 may be accessed via secure transmission line 202 by secure access devices 204-206 or by firewall 207 which has received appropriate indications from non-secure access devices 209-211 via non-secure transmission line 208 . Upon receiving appropriate indications from devices 204-206 or firewall 207, servers 201 transmit data to devices 204-206, firewall 207, or recording or printing device 203; as appropriate, via secure transmission line 202. Upon receiving appropriate indications (based on security criteria) , firewall 207 transmits data to non-secure access devices 209-211 or non-secure recording or printing device 212, as appropriate, via non-secured data transmission line 200.
- Secure access devices 204-206 and non-secure access devices 209-211 can include laptop computers, desktop computers, and workstations (as shown), as well as other types of terminals, wireless devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs) , television set-top boxes, other databases, and other digital devices that can receive user indications and can communicate with servers or firewalls .
- PDAs personal digital assistants
- Severs 201 can be, for example, Sun ® servers using the Solaris ® platform, Oracle ® database servers, or any other appropriate server platform.
- Transmission lines 202 and 208 may use T-l, T-2, or any other appropriate transmission standards.
- the invention can be practiced with a configuration as simple as a single computer that can do the following: store and query a database in its RAM, ROM, hard disk drive, compact disc, floppy disk, or other suitable storage medium; display visual or play audio content; and receive user indications.
- FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of integrated software according to the invention.
- Computer 301 (which may be any of secure access devices 204-206, firewall 207, and non- secure access devices 209-211) communicates with servers 201.
- Project applications 303 which are preferably encoded in XML, transmit a demand 304 for database information to database 305.
- Database 305 may be, for example, Oracle ® , Sybase ® , Microsoft Access ® , or any other relational or non-relational database package.
- Database 305 creates preferably XML files 306.
- An example of an XML file 306 is shown in Example 2 below.
- XML files 306 are transmitted in HTML format 307a for viewing graphics with a browser 308.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer ® and Netscape Navigator ® are two examples of browsers that may be used.
- format 307a is HTML with cascading style sheets (CSS) .
- CSS cascading style sheets
- XML files 306 may be transmitted in XML format 307b for use by other applications 309, such as, for example, C, C++, or Java applications that may be for a stand-alone screen, front-end GUI, or Web presentation package.
- Alternative format 307b may include XML with CSS for further processing by applications such as search engines or bots or may include regular HTML if a still or active display is the only output requirement.
- Bots are programs that typically perform repetitive or time consuming tasks on a network (e.g., searching Web sites on the Internet) . Examples of formats 307a and 307b are shown below in Examples 3a- c.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of an application interface configuration in accordance with the invention.
- a user provides search parameters 401 to client application 402, which is active on computer 301.
- Client application 402 converts search parameters 401 into a demand 304 for database information.
- Demand 304 may take the form of an SQL (structured query language) query when database 305 is an SQL-based relational database.
- server 201 processes demand 304 in a server application 404.
- Server application 404 preferably includes the following modules: an XML parser 414, an XSL processor 424, and an XML-SQL utility 434.
- XSL extensible style sheet language
- HTML HyperText style sheet language
- XSL can map a single XML element to more than one type of display object (e.g., both an element in a list and an item in a table) .
- a style sheet is a text file containing code to apply semantics such as page layout specifications to an HTML document.
- application 404 After converting demand 304 to SQL format (if necessary depending on the database) , application 404 sends query 405 to database 305.
- Database 305 processes query 405 and returns search results 406 to application 404.
- Application 404 then processes results 406 to create one or more XML files. These XML files are sent by application 404 as data 407 to XSL style sheet 408.
- XSL style sheet 408 processes data 407 and returns a response 307 in format 307a or 307b, as appropriate.
- Client application 402 then converts response 307 into a format that can be heard or viewed by the user.
- FIG. 5 shows an example of a display that can be used as 7 ⁇ .dvanced Search Screen 107.
- Illustrative display 501 includes interactive features 502, 503, 504, and 505.
- Display 5 ⁇ i may alternatively include more or less interactive features as appropriate for a given implementation of the invention.
- “Oscar belt” may be entered via interactive feature 502 by a user searching for a picture that has metadata containing the descriptj.on, "Oscar Delahoya wearing a championship belt.”
- Interactive feature 503, entitled “PLEASE SELECT ASSET CATEGORY,” accepts user entries for the type of asset to retrieve.
- possible asset types are photos, audio, video, text, any cor/oination of these, or any other appropriate asset type.
- Interactive feature 504, entitled “SEARCH” allows users to submit a search request (i.e., have application 303 form a demand 304) .
- FIG. 6 shows an example of a display that can be used as Search Results Screen 120.
- illustr.cive display 601 indicates at 602 that 4 photo assets, l video asset, and 1 audio asset had been found, and shows at 603 a list of photographic assets, that met the criteria of a demand 304.
- Illustrative display 601 preferably includes features 604, 605, 606, and 607. Alternatively, display 601 can include more or less features as desired for a given implementation of the invention.
- Features 604 interactively accepts user indications of selection or rejection of assets from the displayed list of assets.
- Features 605 may be interactive (e.g., a button) or static (e.g., just a display). In this example, feature 605 displays an image of the assets associated with the retrieved list items. If feature 605 is interactive, it can accept a user's selection of an asset to be ordered.
- Feature 606 displays descriptive information associated with the assets that met the criteria of demand 304.
- Feature 606, like feature 605, may be interactive to accept user selections of an asset.
- Feature 607, entitled “ORDER CHECKED,” is interactive and accepts indications that a user has finished selecting assets and is ready to proceed along path 121 to Content Detail Screen 123.
- FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a document type definition (DTD) in accordance with the invention.
- DTD is a separate file or document that contains formal definitions of all the data elements in a particular type of XML (or HTML or SGML) document, such as a report or a book.
- a program called a parser e.g., XML parser 4114 can work with the markup codes that the document contain,?.
- DTD 700 includes asset element 701, which defines the type of data to be stored for each digital asset.
- DTD 700 may also include one or more other data elements 702 for other uses.
- asset element 701 can contain a core set of definitions
- data element 702 can contain additional definitions that augment the core set in cases where such additional definitions are required by a particular user.
- Asset element 701 preferably includes asset metadata 703, asset type data 704, and asset content 705.
- Asset element 701 may also include additional definitional information as desired.
- Asset metadata 703 preferably includes the following definitional elements: product identifier (ID) (e.g., a video program name), version ID, inventory ID, and ownership rights ID.
- ID product identifier
- Asset metadata 703 can also include any subset of these identifiers or any additional identification information.
- Asset type data 704 advantageously can include any number of definitional elements relevant to a particular type of asset .
- Table 1 is a preferred embodiment of asset type data 704 in accordance with the invention, showing definitional elements for classifying five asset types:
- Asset content 705 preferably includes one of the following: digitally encoded asset data, a link to a file containing asset data, or a reference to a location where asset data is digitally stored. Alternatively and less preferable, multiple copies of a digital asset can be referenced or included in asset content 705.
- DTD 700 for digital assets which includes asset element 701, asset metadata 703, asset type data 704, and asset content 705, is shown below in Example 1 in accordance with the invention.
- ⁇ ! -Supporting teclmologies include but not limited to XML, XSL, XSLT, XPATH, DTD Schema->
- Example 2 shows a sample XML document generated as part of a photographic asset search.
- XSL operates on XML search output.
- the output from XSL may be either HTML or XML both with CSS .
- Known 5 software engines such as, for example, a software engine known as XT developed by James Clark (see http://jclark.com/xml/xt.html for more details), can be used to convert XML into HTML.
- a sample command for doing such is: C:>XT sample.
- xml css.xsl output2.xml. This 0 command generates an XML document named output2.xml, which can be displayed using standard browser software.
- Example 3a shows a sample XSL script.
- Example 3b shows a sample HTML document generated by XSL on the XML search, output of Example 2.
- Example 3c shows a sample XML 5 document, with CSS also generated by XSL on the XML search output of Example 2.
