Metadata Replication for Non-Dicom Content
A method of replicating metadata from a publisher device to a subscriber device includes storing a clip having content and associated metadata, determining the content on the stored clip, gathering metadata associated with the content on the stored clip, packaging the gathered metadata in a payload, and transferring the payload to the subscriber device for replication of the gathered metadata in the subscriber device.
1 . A method of replicating metadata from a publisher device to a subscriber device, comprising:
storing a clip having content and associated metadata;
determining the content on the stored clip;
gathering metadata associated with the content on the stored clip;
packaging the gathered metadata in a payload; and
transferring the payload to the subscriber device for replication of the gathered metadata in the subscriber device.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the clip from a content source.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transferring the content to the subscriber device for replication in the subscriber device.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content includes documents included in the clip.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content is a non-DICOM content.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the clip is stored on an archive device.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the clip is a work unit within the archive device.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the archive device is connected to the publisher device.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the payload is an XML payload.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subscriber device is one of a plurality of subscriber devices connected to the publisher device to which the publisher device transfers the payload for replication of the gathered metadata.
11 . A method of metadata replication by a first system to a second system comprising:
receiving an object having an associated metadata;
storing the object in a storage device of the first system;
registering the associated metadata to a database of the first system;
determining content of the stored object;
retrieving the registered associated metadata from the database of the first system; and
replicating the associated metadata for replication to a database of the second system based on the determined content of the stored object.
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising replicating the stored object from the first system to the second system.
13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining if the content of the stored object indicates that the stored object includes updates to the associated metadata.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein if the content of the stored object includes updates to the associated metadata, replicating the updates to the associated metadata to the database of the second system.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the object is a non-DICOM object.
16 . A computing device with a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing computer executable instructions to:
store a clip having content and associated metadata;
determine the content included on the clip;
gather metadata associated with the content in the clip from a database; and
replicate the metadata to a subscriber device.
17 . The computing device of claim 16 , further comprising a computer instruction to package the gathered metadata in a payload.
18 . The computing device of claim 17 , furthering comprising a computer instruction to transfer the payload to the subscriber device for replication.
19 . The computing device of claim 16 , wherein the content is a non-DICOM content.
20 . The computing device of claim 16 , wherein the computing device transfers the metadata to the subscriber device for every clip stored in the computing device.
