11. A method for tagging a region within a frame of a video file, comprising:
populating metadata fields of a metadata database with a file name and a start time of a video file, the metadata database being remote from an online digital repository;
segmenting frames of the video file into segmented regions within the frames, including assigning a point in time with each segmented region, each frame when visually presented having a whole area dimension extending to the outer confines of each frame, each segmented region having an area dimension less than the area dimension of the frame containing the segmented region;
providing a link to the point in time in the video file containing the segmented region to retrieve the segmented region;
assigning a classification term to each segmented region;
arranging the classification terms in a hierarchical structure;
permitting a keyword search of the classification terms;
presenting results of the keyword search of the classification terms dimensionally on a screen divided into panels, one of the panels being a panel to navigate the results of the search; and
retrieving the segmented region of the video file based on the keyword search.
