The Internet’s First Cloud-Based Metadata Solution
RAMP’s MediaCloud is the Web’s first platform to leverage cloud computing to deliver a comprehensive solution for generating and managing all types of rich metadata. Considered the “currency” of content, metadata includes the speech transcripts, time-stamped tags, categories/topics, named entities, geo-location and tagged thumbnails that comprise the backbone of the interactive Web.
MediaCloud’s scalable and automated approach — built on the foundation of RAMP’s unique intellectual property — delivers the cost efficiencies required to create new business opportunities from the vast amount of content currently trapped in the archives of publishers and content producers. It also speeds the conversion of content from broadcast to the Web, helping companies quickly respond to today’s consumer expectations.
With MediaCloud, companies can easily submit content to RAMP via feeds or uploads and receive back a rich XML-based markup with all of the relevant metadata. MediaCloud creates a “universal” set of metadata across all of your content — spanning video, audio, text and images. With video and audio files, MediaCloud produces time-stamped transcripts from the original files. Text articles, images and the transcripts are processed through our natural language processing technology to create a unified set of tags and categories for all of your content.
Flexible, Powerful Architecture
MediaCloud’s core architecture is designed to deliver flexibility and extensibility as market needs continue to evolve. Content ingestion is handled though multiple formats and can accommodate file-based uploads, crawled content, RSS and MRSS feed sources, as well as live Webcasts. Our “pipeline process” means that new metadata models can be easily accommodated. MediaCloud’s core features are all controlled and managed via RAMP’s award-winning extranet management console.
