Systems and methods are described for performing policy-managed, peer-to-peer service orchestration in a manner that supports the formation of self-organizing service networks that enable rich media experiences. In one embodiment, services are distributed across peer-to-peer communicating nodes, and each node provides message routing and orchestration using a message pump and workflow collator. Distributed policy management of service interfaces helps to provide trust and security, supporting commercial exchange of value. Peer-to-peer messaging and workflow collation allow services to be dynamically created from a heterogeneous set of primitive services. The shared resources are services of many different types, using different service interface bindings beyond those typically supported in a web service deployments built on UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL. In a preferred embodiment, a media services framework is provided that enables nodes to find one another, interact, exchange value, and cooperate across tiers of networks from WANs to PANs.

Techniques for delivering content to an end user device are disclosed. A policy server performs an ingest process in which multiple versions of a content object are created. The multiple versions of the content object are associated with a single network identifier which can be distributed to publishers of the content object.

The invention provides apparatus and a method for creating a visual representation of music that conveys the musical form, structure, event surface, orchestration, and sonic framework of the piece being visualized. The representation comprises visual characters / sprites that move in time according to instructions from the metadata synchronized to the actual musical recording. These characters accurately portray the rhythm, pitch, and timbre of the individual elements in the musical surface (individual lines or performers) and have a hierarchy of representation, e.g. thematic elements that are divided into sub-elements (gestures or phrases) that are further divided into individual notes. The visual representation corresponds to the structure of the music as heard, where simultaneous harmonic events are parsed into individual notes which are then tied together into a rhythmic stream of linked events. Two streams of data (the “musical” and the “sonic”) are synchronized to the musical piece to drive the visualization.
