1. A system for bookmarking multi-media content, comprising:
data storage server;
at least one computer terminal communicatively connected to the data storage server, the at least one computer terminal including a user interface operatively connecting the at least one computer terminal to the data storage server and configured to at least one of download and upload multimedia data files to and from the data storage server, wherein
the user interface includes a data processing module, a first data field/stream memory structure, a second data field/stream memory structure corresponding to the first data memory structure, and a graphical user interface module,
the data processing module is configured to access data storage of the data storage server and download data files of multimedia content and associated metadata into the first data field/stream memory structure so as to be accessible via the at least one computer terminal,
the first data field/stream memory structure is configured to store the downloaded data files and allow the at least one computer terminal viewing-only access to the multimedia content therein,
the data processing module is further configured to store, in the second data field/stream memory structure, a duplicate of at least part of the metadata associated with the multimedia content in the downloaded data files stored in the first data field/stream memory structure,
the graphical interface module is configured to generate a graphical user interface on a display of the at least one computer terminal, the graphical user interface including interactive elements and controls shown on the display for manipulating the viewing/playing of the multimedia content in the downloaded data files stored in the first data field/stream memory structure,
the graphical user interface module being further configured to receive input via the graphical user interface and to store, into the second data field/stream memory structure, the input as supplemental metadata in relation to the multimedia content in the downloaded data files stored in the first data field/stream memory structure, the relation being based at least in part on the duplicate metadata, and
the data processing module is further configured to upload the supplemental metadata to the data storage server tagged to the multimedia content in accordance with the relation to the multimedia content in the downloaded data files stored in the first data field/stream memory structure without altering the multimedia content in the data files on the data storage server and without destroying the provenance of the multimedia content in the data files on the data storage server.
