Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un dispositif (DEV) et un procédé de traitement de méta-informations de fichier de données (CTI(11)... CTI(91); CSI(1)... CSI(9)). Ces méta-informations de fichier de données (CTI(11)... CTI(91); CSI(1)... CSI(9)) sont attribuées à des fichiers de données (DFI(11)... DFI(91)) et donnent des informations concernant un contenu représenté par ces fichiers de données (DFI(11)... DFI(91)). Un ensemble de méta-informations de fichier de données, qui est destiné à être traité, peut être sélectionné conformément à une condition à partir d'un certain nombre de méta-informations de fichier de données et est envoyé pour être traité. Par ailleurs, un ensemble de méta-informations de fichier de données destiné à ne pas être traité peut être sélectionné conformément à une condition et un ensemble restant de méta-informations de fichier de données non dé-sélectionné est envoyé pour être traité.
