Disclosed is a system for linking transmedia content subsets. A memory stores a plurality of transmedia content data items and associated linking data, which define time-ordered content links between the transmedia content data items. The transmedia content data items are arranged into linked transmedia content subsets comprising different groups of the transmedia content data items and different content links therebetween; a transmedia content model that represents the transmedia content data items as nodes and the content links between the transmedia content data items as edges in one or more time-varying graphs. A processor is configured to associate the transmedia content data items with the time-ordered content links and store the linking data in the memory. It assigns the transmedia content data items to nodes of a graph structure, assign the time-ordered content links to edges of the graph structure, and store them in the transmedia content model.

User modelling and metadata of transmedia content data

A recommender engine is configured to access memory and surface transmedia content items; and/or linked transmedia content subsets; and/or one or more identifications of identified users; and/or content items of the plurality of transmedia content items associated with at least one identified user. The surfaced items are presented for selection by the given user via the transmedia content linking engine as one or more user-selected transmedia content items.
