Abstract

See full text

A hardware and software facility for classifying media content units using keywords from a structured vocabulary. Metadata associated with each media content unit is segmented into a series of descriptive phrases. The descriptive phrases are mapped to keywords in a structured vocabulary, and the identified keywords associated with the media content units. Descriptive phrases that are not found in the structured vocabulary are tracked as candidate phrases for later addition to the structured vocabulary. A keyword index to the media content units may be constructed. The index is used to identify specific media content units that are responsive to search queries in a reliable and accurate fashion.
