Applying Graphs to Enterprise Media Asset Management — C. Goodacre and B. Boehmann, Scripps Networks

Scripps Networks Interactive is a leading developer of engaging lifestyle content in the home, food and travel categories for television, the internet and emerging platforms. Their U.S. lifestyle portfolio comprises popular television and internet brands HGTV, DIY Network, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Travel Channel and Great American Country, which collectively engage more than 190 million consumers each month, and HGTV was among the top 10 cable networks in 2016.

Managing the asset and instance-level metadata for Scripps’ historical media portfolio is critical to their business. It affects everything from broadcast availability to viewing behavior to the ability to syndicate content to non-linear and international broadcast partners. In this session, the speakers will discuss:

• Applying graph technology to federate relevant metadata across multiple digital asset management systems into a cohesive multi-media library

• Leveraging the advantages of graph DB over traditional relational databases

• Facilitating modeling via graph technology of complex, multi-dimensional relationships between multiple domains (shows, seasons, episodes, formats & versions)
