Abstract
Embodiments of the invention may include a method for searching digital content in a data processing system. The method may include providing a set of sample digital resources. Each sample digital resource may be associated with metadata describing its content, including fields having associated metadata values. A user may select at least one sample digital resource from the set. One or more metadata values of the sample digital resource may be displayed to the user. The user may then select at least a portion of the metadata values. A digital resource having one or more metadata values substantially matching the selected metadata value of the sample digital resource may then be retrieved.
