Rules driven pan ID metadata routing system and network

摘要

Content objects are associated with metadata via content identifiers. In response to a user's query for metadata for a piece of content, the content identifier is derived from the content object and used to determine metadata responses to the query. Rules are applied to govern the metadata responses returned in response to the query. Traffic monitoring is performed to track usage of metadata.

主权项

1. A routing system for receiving a request for metadata for a content object and directing a metadata response, the system comprising:
one or more programmed computers including: an ID resolver programmed to receive a content identifier extracted from the content object, and programmed to determine associated metadata responses and a rule governing the metadata responses; a rules processor programmed to execute the rule to determine a subset of the metadata responses; the routing system programmed to initiate the subset of metadata responses in response to the request and execution of the rule.
