  • Publication number: 20180005157
    Abstract: There are provided media asset tagging systems and method. Such a system includes a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a workflow management software code including a tagging application template and a multi-contributor synthesis module. The hardware processor executes the workflow management software code to provide a workflow management interface, to receive a media asset identification data and a workflow rules data, and to generate custom tagging applications based on the workflow rules data. The hardware processor further executes the workflow management software code to receive tagging data for the media asset, determine at least a first constraint for tagging the media asset, receive additional tagging data for, and determine at least a second constraint for tagging the media asset. The media asset is then tagged based on the tagging data and the additional tagging data, subject to the constraints.
