1. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining a first visual content from a digital data store, wherein the first visual content is configured to digitally represent a first scene;
performing image recognition on the first visual content so as to identify a second visual content that is digitally configured to represent a second scene, wherein identification of the second visual content is based on the second visual content having an amount of image features that is shared with the first visual content, and wherein the amount of image features exceeds a shared feature threshold;
determining that native original metadata cannot be obtained for the first visual content, wherein the native original metadata includes information about the first scene digitally represented by the first visual content; and
generating surrogate metadata for the first visual content based on metadata obtained from the second visual content, wherein the generating the surrogate metadata comprises:
identifying, for the first visual content, tags within the metadata from the second visual content;
determining which of the tags within the metadata are marked as surrogate importable; and
assembling the surrogate metadata based on the tags that are marked as surrogate importable.
