Abstract
A media classification system receives media content descriptions from one or more description providers. The media classification system generates a description of media content based on descriptions of the media content received from one or more description providers. The descriptions describe the media content in terms of degrees. The media classification system may generate a composite description based on the received media content descriptions. The media classification system provides the descriptions, in terms of degrees, to one or more program data providers.
