Abstract

A method and corresponding apparatus, computer program instructions, and graphical user interface are provided for annotating content with context metadata. The method includes obtaining by an apparatus a first list of context metadata items for a content item where the context metadata items include information relating to devices which were nearby the apparatus when the content item was created; obtaining a second list of context metadata items, wherein the second list contains some, but not all, of the metadata items of the first list; and annotating the content item with the second list by creating an association between metadata items of the second list and the content item.
