ABSTRACT:
A method for automatically constructing a database query for data assets associated with multimedia works. The database query is based on the context of a selected point of interest of a multimedia work. The point of interest is selected by a user interacting with the multimedia work and pausing the multimedia work at the point of interest. A database query is automatically constructed that is constrained by data that is associated with the point of interest. In addition, a list of attributes of the data that is associated with the point of interest is displayed to the user before the search is performed. The user has the option to further constrain the database search by selecting one or more attributes from the list of attributes. The user may also constrain the database search by adding keywords to a keyword entry field.
