Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a computer program product for controlling distribution and processing of content-related metadata of different content sources (-to-), wherein extracted metadata are transformed at from a received format of the extracted metadata into a predetermined common format used by a recommender engine. Additionally or alternatively, it is checked for an overlap between a detected classification parameter and at least one stored classification parameter, and non-overlapping metadata is enriched by adding at least one new classification parameter derived from an ontology-based processing of the non-overlapping metadata.
