Abstract
Information about each of the media assets that contribute to a published media composition is needed to determine attribution and contractual terms for the composition as a whole. The generation of a hierarchical asset genealogy that includes information about each of the assets that contribute to a media composition provides a mechanism for recording the full asset contribution history of a composition. The information may include asset ownership, distribution rights, asset structure, talent, and editors involved in generating the asset. For time-based compositions, it may specify which portions of an asset contribute to the composition. A report generator generates asset reports from the asset genealogy without the need to access or read the original composition, which may be represented by a proprietary compositional data model corresponding to an editing applications used to create the composition.
