Abstract: Methods for streamlining the publication of a digital version of a live video program concurrently with the filming of a live video program such that the program, or segments thereof, are published and available on a web page accessible via a WAN or the Internet immediately after the live event is recorded. Metadata tables and publishing instructions are inserted into the script of a program to be filmed to permit a publisher to identify and publish a filmed video program or segments thereof along with web publishing information. In particular, the video program and/or video program segments therein are tagged with the metadata that describe the video program and/or segments and permit the program and/or segments to be retrieved in a search.
