Accessibility advisement system for digital assets

Abstract

A method for digital asset storage can begin with the maintenance of repository profiles and asset profiles by an asset accessibility advisement system for digital asset repositories. A repository profile can comprise attribute values that describe a digital asset repository. An asset profile can comprise attribute values that describe the digital assets contained in the digital asset repository. In response to an advisement request for a digital asset, an accessibility profile can be generated for the digital asset. The accessibility profile can express key attributes of the digital asset with regards to its subsequent accessibility by other entities. One or more digital asset repositories can be identified that best match the accessibility profile using the repository profiles and asset profiles. The determined digital asset repositories can then be presented as an asset accessibility recommendation. The asset accessibility recommendation can be presented to an asset submitter having originated the advisement request.
