CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Content rights holders provide digital content to a hosting site to be us ed as reference content. The content owner specifies a policy for each digit al content item, indicating how that content may be used on the site when up loaded by someone other than the content owner. An identification module com pares the uploaded content against reference content. If the content matches reference content, the specified policy for that reference content is appli ed to the uploaded content. Policy options provided by the content owner inc lude tracking the content to see how it is viewed, preventing the content fr om being distributed on the site, and allowing the content to be displayed i n a revenue-sharing environment. In one embodiment, if the identification mo dule matches the uploaded content to a reference item but the match does not have a sufficiently high level of confidence, the suggested match is queued for review by the content owner.
