Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for correlating metadata from a plurality of different sources. The methods and apparatus may use an order for the data sources. The metadata from each of the data sources may be divided or split into one or more chunks. The metadata from each of the chunks may be filtered and sorted, e.g., to ensure that the metadata relate to the same multimedia content. The metadata chunks from the first data source in the order and the second data source in the order may then be aligned to produce currently aligned metadata. The metadata data chunks from the next data source in the order may then be aligned with the currently aligned metadata to produce new currently aligned metadata. This process may be repeated until the metadata from all of the sources are aligned, thereby providing a set of correlated metadata.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for processing correlated metadata (e.g., programmatic metadata relating to one or more episodes of a television show). Mappings, or correlations, between chunks of the metadata that originated from a particular data source and the metadata clusters may be determined and displayed, e.g., on a graphical user interface. Using this display, a user (i.e., a human operator) may detect inconsistencies in the correlated metadata. An inconsistency may be an incorrect mapping, the mapping of more than one of the metadata chunks that originated from the same data source to the same metadata cluster, or that one or more of the metadata chunks have not been mapped to a metadata cluster. The mappings may then be edited so as to remove detected inconsistencies.

Mappings, or correlations, between chunks of metadata that originated from a particular data source and metadata clusters may be determined. Inconsistencies in the correlated metadata may then be detected by a processor. An inconsistency may be an incorrect mapping, the mapping of more than one of the metadata chunks that originated from the same data source to the same metadata cluster, or that one or more of the metadata chunk have not been mapped to a metadata cluster. The mappings may then be edited so as to remove detected inconsistencies by the processor.
