Abstract: The present invention refers to the field of metadata enhancement system for broadcast televisions program, in particular to provide to the customer more information about a current, past or future broadcast. It concerns a method to enhance transmitted contents, said method starting from the metadata to populate a knowledge database. This method is based on a iterative process to fetch information from open Internet using as search criteria the result of the previous search. The data in the knowledge database are organized in data triple. According to one embodiment, the iterative process is stops when the returned data are related to another content. The knowledge database is then accessible for a user to obtain additional information about a content by sending a suitable request to the Query Server Module in charge of the knowledge database.
