Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to integrate disparate media services and applications across an organization. The media services are connected to an interoperable media services bus by creating a connector API for each service, thereby enabling the media services to exchange messages in a standardized format related to transactions to be performed involving media assets and/or metadata associated with media assets. Also connected to the interoperable media services bus are one or more centralized services that can be used to improve uniformity of behavior across the media services. Examples of centralized services include searching of media asset metadata, management of access rights to media services and/or media assets, accounting functions related to use of the media services, transformations (such as encoding or digital-rights management wrapping) of media assets, and the like.
