Abstract

In some implementations, a computing device may perform a method for providing a unified pipeline for media metadata to converge disparate schemas and data structures into a global unified graph. The method includes receiving media metadata from disparate media sources that may each have a different metadata schema that defines the structure and attributes of the metadata provided by each media source. The computing device may compare media metadata received from the different media sources to determine that metadata received from the different media sources correspond to similar, or the same, media entities (e.g., songs, movies, books, etc.). The metadata for the similar media entities may then be combined into a global unified graph that may include metadata attributes and/or values of the metadata received from the various media sources.
