主权项

1. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
accessing first metadata and second metadata of a media file that comprises a plurality of media content, the first metadata identifying entities associated with the plurality of media content, the second metadata providing a description of the media content, the entities including a first user and a second user of the processor; generating a first directory structure based on the identifying of the first user and the description of the media content, wherein the first directory structure provides access to a first portion of the plurality of media content associated with the first user; and generating a second directory structure based on the identifying of the second user and the description of the media content, wherein the second directory structure provides access to a second portion of the plurality of media content associated with the second user, and wherein the first and second directory structures share a shared portion of the plurality of media content without resulting in a duplication of the shared portion in a storage device used to store the media file; and generating an exclusive portion of the media content based on an adjustment made to the shared portion of the media content and enabling access via one directory of the first and second directory structures to the exclusive portion while maintaining access to the shared portion via another directory.
