Abstract: A central asset registry and associated satellite registries tie Digital Asset Management (DAM) repositories and satellite repositories into a unified enterprise system. The system removes rights and asset relationship tracking from the DAMs and the satellites by gathering asset metadata tags and capturing digital asset rights and relationships between assets to improve speed, scalability, and flexibility in analyzing and traversing networks of rights and relationships of digital assets. The central asset registry and the satellite registries use a pluggable architecture and track and store multi-dimensional relationships as an asset hierarchy. The asset hierarchy and rights model depicts rights and relationship data between the assets and provides a flexible array of asset types and properties for addition of new assets, new asset types, and new rights without re-factoring the other data, nodes, and edges. The system uses asset metadata to create edge relationships between the assets.

Abstract: The invention provides a stand for holding decorative elements that includes a first and a second sleeve. The first sleeve has an outer ring and an inner ring. The first sleeve is adapted to receive a first group of essentially longitudinal decorative elements that are passed between the first sleeve outer ring and the first sleeve inner ring. The second sleeve also has an outer ring and an inner ring. The second sleeve is also adapted to receive a second, different, group of essentially longitudinal decorative elements that are passed between the second sleeve outer ring and the second sleeve inner ring. At least a portion of the first group of essentially longitudinal decorative elements overlaps at least a portion of the second group of essentially longitudinal decorative elements.
