No. 11/305,852, by Bugir et al., titled �System, Program Product, and Methods to Enhance Media Content Management,� filed on Dec. 16, 2005; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/712,051, by Bugir et al., titled �System, Methods, and Program Product to Trace Content Genealogy,� filed on Aug. 29, 2005; and U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 11/305,871, by Bugir et al., titled �System, Methods, and Program Product to Trace Content Genealogy,� filed on Dec. 16, 2005, all incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, an Enterprise Framework abstracts the technology underpinnings from the business of writing applications, freeing application developers to focus on providing business solutions, not building technology to support the applications. Embodiments of systems 20, program products 30 and methods 90 of the present invention recognize that a goal of an Enterprise Framework can be to �hide� the complexities of the Net Framework, providing a simplified set of commonly required functionality in a manner that promotes consistence within a single product and re-use across multiple products and development teams.
The system 20 also includes a set of media content service modules 40, which responsive to the media content services core 50, can perform content management services to media. The media modules 40 contain context specific implementations of media core services 50. These are provided to allow users of the services to have contextual access to services that may exist in multiple discreet media core services. These module services provide a level of abstraction from the underlying implementations and are aimed at reducing the complexity of understanding required by the users of the services. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, core services common 57 can include security, auditing, list and party services, etc., which can be called with different parameters and combinations by any of the media modules 40. Auditing 41 can provide several methods that are contextual to auditing, such as, for example, Auditing. GetUserForAuditRecord(Class AuditRecord). This module can redirect the call to core services 57, e.g., Security.Services.GetUserForAuditID(AuditRecord.id). The abstraction removes the need for a user (�caller�) utilizing auditing 41 to understand the need to call Security.Services to get a user for a specific audit record.
The logical content module 46 or engine can be built to capture and store metadata from a multitude of sources (handling various formats) that can be accessed by different types of users for any number of reasons. These, for example, can include: programming, promotions, identifiers, and advertising. Logical content can be searchable and can include provisions for filters and multiple sorts. The logical content module 46 can build content grouping mechanisms, store and assign images, integrate seamlessly with physical content, and can link to contacts, actor's bias, and such. Logical content can include content relationships (genetic or natural association) between two or more pieces of logical content that is traceable, showing metadata lineage�the genealogy. See for example, co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/712,051, by Bugir et al., titled �System, Methods, and Program Product to Trace Content Genealogy,� filed on Aug. 29, 2005 and U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 11/305,871 titled �System, Methods, and Program Product to Trace Content Genealogy� filed on Dec. 16, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Content relationships can include, for example: content predecessor, content successor, inherited rights/rules and metadata. Deriving content from one or more parents automatically generates a genealogical relationship. Content relationships can be displayed and content lineage can be tracked in all directions. Content's genetic relationship can be used to create: version and repurpose. Logical content can include content grouping (artificial association). Such grouping can include the mechanism used to group non-familial pieces of logical content together in order to establish financial or contractual rights, and facilitate ease of entry, and scheduling and tracking. Multiple grouping types can be created and related to each other in a hierarchal structure. Content groupings offer a marriage mechanism between artificial and natural (genetic) groupings. Content grouping relationship group content can include, e.g., scheduling, sales, financial, and research. Content grouping hierarchy can include, e.g., program-season/year-episode and deal-contract-package.
According to an embodiment of the program product 30, scheduling 47 can use an EDL work provided through library management 117, respecting placement rules, rights, and restrictions. Scheduling 47 can provide both long-range and short-range scheduling views, and can create and manage content delivery formats. Scheduling 47 can also include drag�n�drop multi-stream (multi-media) concurrent delivery schedules.
