DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, INCLUDING CUSTOMIZABLE METADATA MODEL FOR ASSET CATALOGING AND PERMISSIONING OF DIGITAL ASSETS, SUCH AS FOR USE WITH DIGITAL IMAGES AND SONGS

摘要

A method, system, and metadata model is provided that allows for the organization of electronic assets, such as songs, videos, documents, images, etc. Virtual libraries are created based on virtual copies of assets created based on metadata, thereby avoiding copying of the actual assets. The metadata model also facilitates searching for assets from the virtual libraries and the implementation of permissioning schemes.
