Abstract: A system is provided for generating unified metadata file that includes category nodes with associated attributes for each distribution platform. The associated attributes are included in the unified metadata file based on a programming schedule of a linear media feed and an asset distribution interface (ADI) specification required by each distribution platform. Alternate license windows are inserted in the unified metadata file for enabling same asset and same metadata for a replacement of a first asset with a second asset. A unified package, having a plurality of segments of the linear media feed and the unified metadata file, is transmitted to each distribution platform via a communication network.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method for generating unified metadata for a plurality of distribution platforms. One or more processors in a broadcast provider system receive a linear media feed from a source device, and based on one or more inbound triggers associated with the received linear media feed, determines a plurality of segments of the received linear media feed. A unified metadata file comprising a universal schema of a plurality of category nodes and attributes for a plurality of distribution platforms is generated based on at least a programming schedule of the received linear media feed and an asset distribution interface (ADI) specification required by each of the plurality of distribution platforms. Further, a unified package is generated comprising the plurality of segments of the linear media feed as a broadcast media feed and the unified metadata file, and transmitted to the plurality of distribution platforms via a communication network.
