Abstract
An infrastructure facility for interactive commerce in media objects over a network is described. Consumers are provided with searchable access to media object suppliers using standardized commercial packages. A commercial package is associated with a media object by using a commerce tag consisting of embedded metadata to identify the associated commercial package and optionally parameterize a commercial offer. The infrastructure facility provides a searchable database of available media objects with commerce tags, media object suppliers, and an accessible reference for commercial packages and associated tags.
