Base Claim:
1. A method for enhancing access to a media asset by customizing metadata associated with description information for the media asset, the method comprising: receiving a user preference profile from an interactive media guidance application; parsing, with a control circuitry, the user preference profile to obtain an event associated with the user; determining, with the control circuitry, one or more keywords associated with the event; storing, in memory, the one or more keywords in the user preference profile; receiving, from a media data source, metadata associated with a media asset; extracting, with the control circuitry, description information from the metadata associated with the media asset; determining, with the control circuitry, a synonym for at least one term in the description information; comparing, with the control circuitry, the synonym with the one or more keywords associated with the event; identifying, with the control circuitry, a match of the synonym and the one or more keywords associated with the event; and generating, with the control circuitry, a customized view for display of the media asset description information by substituting the synonym for the at least one term in the description information.
