Abstract: A method and system for grouping metadata search results associated with media on a computer network, such as multimedia and streaming media include binning and iterative masking. The media metadata has an associated media file, which has an associated uniform resource locator (URL). Each URL has at least one field, and each field has at least one character. Binning includes selecting, sorting, and putting URLs having a common attribute into the same bin. Masking includes creating a mask of masking characters. Each field in each URL in each bin is compare with the mask. If a masking character matches a character in a field, the character in the field is removed from the field. This produces at least one resultant URL, i.e., URL that has been compared with a mask. Identical resultant URLs are collapsing into one URL. Thus, redundant and variant URLs are collapsed into a single URL, which may be provided to a search system (e.g., search engine) and/or to a user.

Abstract: A method and system for utilizing metadata to search for media, such as multimedia and streaming media, includes searching for the media, receiving results, extracting metadata associated with the media, enhancing the extracted metadata, and grouping the search results in accordance with attributes of the enhanced metadata. Enhancing and grouping include adding related metadata to the database of metadata, iteratively using metadata to search for more media related data, removing duplicate URLs, collapsing URLs that are variants of each other, and masking out superfluous terms from URLs. The resultant metadata and media files are available to users and search engines.

Abstract translation: 一种用于利用元数据来搜索诸如多媒体和流媒体之类的媒体的方法和系统，包括：搜索媒体，接收结果，提取与媒体有关的元数据，增强所提取的元数据，以及根据属性分组搜索结果 增强的元数据。 加强和分组包括将相关元数据添加到元数据库，迭代地使用元数据来搜索更多的媒体相关数据，删除重复的URL，折叠彼此变体的URL，以及从URL屏蔽多余的术语。 所得到的元数据和媒体文件可供用户和搜索引擎使用。
