Abstract

A method and an apparatus for prioritizing a metadata item associated to audio or video data are described. A metadata item is retrieved from a metadata repository or via an input. An analyzing unit determines a priority value of the metadata item using one of a plurality of prioritization methods. A storing unit then stores the priority value in a priority table and references the priority table in a metadata table.
